Of AR Rahman & GV Prakash

I am sure all of you'll know who AR Rahman is (atleast all the Indians,rite)...
He's a world reknown music director/singer. He has not only done Tamil albums but also Hindi,English and a whole lotta others featuring different languages. He's one of my favourite music director and I simply love all of his songs!!!

His latest album in Tamil is 'Sakkarakatti', an upcoming movie starring Bhagyaraj's son (very sorry, I really can't recall his name). He has composed six songs and all of them are totally awesome. I am just gonna list a couple of my favorites from the album here,
  • Marudhaani - Sung by Madhushree and Rahman himself, this song is modern yet beautiful. Cuz, a lotta songs these days are modern/cool but can't be described as beautiful. This one is an exception.
  • Naan Eppodhu - Sung by Reena Bharadwaj, this one is more modernly classical. I am not a music graduate and I have no formal education of music, the literal music atleast. So, I just describe based on my 'feel' about the song. So, ya it's more of a modern classical, if you get what I mean.
  • Chinnamma - This song's by Benny Dayal and Chinmayi (Kannathil Muthamittal fame). I would describe this one as a more peppy and fun song.
Now, let's move to ARR's nephew, GV Prakash. GV Prakash is the new 'kid' in the block, literally. He's just 22 and started his career as a music director a few years back with his debut movie being the critically acclaimed 'Veyil'. Veyil was truly amazing. Especially, Urughuthey and Veyilodu Vilaiyadi. It showed that it's all in the genes... :) GVP's latest is 'Kuselan', the Super Star starrer that is due for release anytime soon. It definitely took a while for me to gain some liking towards the songs in this album but they are good. My pick of the lot:
  • Sollamma - This one's by Hariharan and Sujatha. Hariharan's voice is just amazing. It's so smooth and sweet to the ears!!! This song reminds me of Uruguthey although it's kinda more into the happier mood. But, its lyrics are kinda nice.
These songs are constantly being played every time I switch on my computer/mp3 player. Try listening to these and you might just like them! :D
