Maestro Ilaiyaraja New Albums 2011 - Hello Jaihind / Sri Rama Rajyam

[Sureshs65]

Saagar,

That is really surprising indeed. For I see most of the kids here go for the modern sounding beat driven songs. Maybe it has to do with what they are exposed to in childhood. She has good taste for sure

[Saagar]

You're probably right Suresh,

There could not have been a bigger coincidence - Just as I'm into this, one of the singers in idea Star singer sang "Nee Pournami endrum en nenjile..." today & she came running to me after that wanting to Know if we have this song - "pls play it for me...!" & It's the first time she is hearing this song!

Sagar,

Wow. That's all I can say. If a kid of 4 loves 'nee pournami' on the first listen, you can rest in peace regarding her taste in music!!

Jaiganes, Suresh,

that generation gap is not new to me but jaiganes, ensure that your kid learns music. may be, she will come back to you and say that "bass line" in Chinna Polike is interesting than a very machinated "Om Shanti" Then may be,i can say "See, I was and I am young"

she has already spotted the layers of vocal harmony in different sthaayis and different styles.
one group singing 'Om Shaanthi' in western style in high pitch, with one group singing it in lower scale - Indian style - they create a sound effect which is very unique and catchy.

One more thing I have taken a liking to in that song is the brief connecting electric guitar bit that ties the lines in the charanam giving tempo - neatly done. Also the lyricist has got a good musical ear in coming up with phrases like 'kaalusthu peloosthu' Which to my Telugu lacking ear sounds exactly in sync with the tune.

Suryakanthi (Kannada) is likely to be IR's first movie release for 2010.
This movie is likely to release for Sankranthi (Pongal).

Too much Jai - dont give us an inferiority complex

Per recent interview of IR to The Hindu, onething is very clear.

He's not going to work on any non-filmi albums unless some big music company produces it (highly unlikely at this point of time).

So, unless Agi music does some compilation of his pre-2K BGM and things like that, there may not be another instrumental album from his in the near future. Instead, he'll look for ways to make some quick bucks from films (even if that means just singing alone, like in the case of Goa).

No great issues, we have enough works of him to listen for years anyways.

Just one small wish, that some big firm pays him to release his symphony #1 ( Can Agi or Balki do something about it?)

andha symphony vishayathhula yedho thaaru maaru nadandhurukku - otherwise he wud have released it long ago - either in terms of quality or copyrights related issue, there is something serious abt the symphony - i dont think either AGI or balki can do anything abt it

besides even if it is released, namma buddhi/vetkam ketta makkal will download illegally - there is no incentive in it for IR in anyway, UNLESS someone buys it from him at a decent price

"Buddhi ketta makkal" are not there exclusively for spoiling IR's chances. These people do it for any music from anybody.
IR needs to stop fuming over the system and learn to swim in the new trend currents !
