Rahman's much anticipated "Boys" is set to release soon and everyone is keen on finding out more about this album. Who are the singers? What are the soundtracks like? When is the release date? Will the album be delayed? If anyone has any idea; please post here....
Also; use this thread to discuss this album..
Here is what i found::
Typical of Shankar, the director is not prepared to say much about the film at this point. However, it is known that the film will be very youthful, almost teeny-bop, in content, with the majority of the cast being in the 16-23 age group.
Shankar, apparently, has decided to cast all new faces in his film – and the younger the better.
In fact, a mention in various Tamil periodicals, and an accompanying advertisement to the effect that Shankar was looking for new faces, has created a headache of sorts for the producers. Curriculums vitae have been pouring in to the Surya Movies post box ever since the ad and the story ran in the vernacular press – and last heard from, the flood shows no signs of abating.
Curiously enough, the ad appears – thanks to emails and discussion groups – to have reached an audience abroad as well, with the result that newer batches of applications have US, British and suchlike stamps on them, which suits the producer and director fine since the film does incorporate a lot of NRI faces.
For Shankar, Boys will be a return to romance after Kadhalan, and to comedy after the Aishwarya Rai-Prashanth starrer Jeans. Though the film will feature fresh – and ergo, inexpensive – faces, Shankar maintains that the film will be typical of his style, which means lavish budgets, and expensive production values.

Guys, I listened to Boys. I think ARR has got his rhythm back in tfm.
+ve aspects: Album sounds very refreshing, youthful and energetic and definitely has ARR signature thruout :-) Nice classical & western blend in songs like dating (typical of arr).
-ve aspects: More westernised and no melody like 'ennavale' or 'poovukul', which I expected from Shankar's movie :-( Lottaaaaa english words, which is really frustrating. If this is what the storyline demands, then the blame is on shankar.

yaa man, pravin mani's Boys suck big time... it is nowhere near to ARR's albums like "roja", "Agni natchitram", "Dalpati", "Punnagai mannan". (but obvious that i'll credit IR's work to ARR if people do like this)

I finally got to listen to the full version of all the songs and i think rahman has done a very good job with all the compositions.But I do not think this will be a hit with everyone. It is more for the literate people who also know english. My mom she likes the songs so rahman has done a good job the only criticism i have for the album is the ending of the boom boom song. Hopefully it'll make sense after watching the movie if it doesn't go with the movie then it is just ruckus.

Once again AR Rahman has overlooked SP Bala when composing the songs for Boys......Then again it's not surprising that he has forgotten SPB-THE MAN since the album is called Boys.
Another mediocre yet experimental album from the maestro.....I beleive Rahman is leaving his great compositions for Hindi soundtracks now...just wait for Tehzeeb.

Piratheepan,
IMHO I don't think this album is going to be a hit amongst all literate, english knowing people.
My guessing is, this is going to be a hit in the college crowd and HC ARR fans. Personally I could appreciate only Boom Boom. Even that I don't think is going to leave a long lasting impact as many other ARR albums.
I rate this album the same as Baba.
All IMHO.

The problem with this album - if you have had exposure to no-talent, half-assed american boy-bands like N'Sync, Backstreet Boys, O-Town, 98 degrees..then its just more of the same (with comical lyrics, to boot).
