Are you in love? Were you? Would you want to be?The track ‘Tu Muskura from’ Yuvraaj asks for the same.
This amazing ballad (if i can call it) is about the girl asking for everything for a boy as long as he remains happy. Smiling. Unconditionally. As long as he gives the warmth of the sunlight to her, as long as she seeks. The solo cello at the beginning is worth dying for and the later rhythm is worth preserving. Here the music talks to you.
I found this to be an outstanding track to mix.
I wanted to treat it with utmost respect.
This track is so well sung and mixed by Rahman that it was suicidal for me to even attempt a mix, unless I get a brainwave. Which I did. [click to continue...]

The 2002 academy award nominated movie Lagaan has amongst other things, a spectacular sound track by AR Rahman. All tracks are mind-blowing in production values and sheer text book perfection of composition (need i say!). It has been few years since I got to watch the movie again, when I did I was totally in awe with the treatment and screenplay which despite the length of the film.
Few songs in the soundtrack are very simple yet enchanting. While others are quite complex in rendition. I took one of my favorite tracks and tried to give it a tasteful new look. A sort of pop/hip-hop groove to a track that was inherently very groovy and on your face with the message of perseverance. The track ‘Mitwa’ has a very catchy hook created totally with percussions and bass, something I believe only Rahman can think of. [click to continue...]
