Love Breakups Zindagi





. Honestly, one's expectations are in check before playing on the music of Love Breakups Zindagi. After all, the movie hasn't been hyped for its music during its making and other than Dia Mirza and Zayed Khan, there are no other major names involved. Yes, Salim-Sulaiman have time and again delivered well due to which the least one can expect is a decent music at the least. Also with Javed Akhtar as the lyricist, there is further credibility added to the album. However, instead of going over board, one still waits to check out the four songs that follow.

MUSIC
The first thing that strikes about 'Rozaana' is the classy treatment that has been meted out by Salim-Sulaiman and Javed Akhtar. The kind of number that one associates with a big film coming from the likes of a Yash Chopra or a Karan Johar, 'Rozaana' is about the protagonist being elated with what life has to offer and live it every day with a big smile on the face. A positive number which is sung even enthusiastically by Salim Merchant, 'Rozaana' (which also arrives in a 'remix version') is a big winner all the way. While one waits to see it rise in popularity in days to come, one can be sure that this is one song that has in it to enjoy a long shelf life.

Salim Merchant continues the show by starting 'Rab Rakha' before Sonu Nigam takes over. This time around Love Breakups Zindagi moves on to celebration mode though with a difference. This means that despite a 'shaadi byaah' setting here, the song doesn't enter into the 'bhangra' zone and instead keeps it all sublime and romantic while ensuring that the lively mood of the album stays on to be intact. Sonu Nigam is excellent yet again as he renders 'Rab Rakha' with all his heart in while Shreya Ghoshal and Shradha Pandit add on good support to make it yet another classy track. And yes, the Yash Raj influence stays.

  By this time one's expectations has only soared further and there is good hope that the next song to follow, 'Love Love Love', would continue the feel good mood of Love Breakups Zindagi. This is exactly what one gets as 'Love Love Love' (the song which plays in the background of the film's promos) turns out to be a peppy-n-lively track which adds on to the youthful flavour of the album. Benny Dayal and Shradha Pandit do well to make 'Love Love Love' as almost an anthem of this film and one strongly feels that this song would appear at various junctures in the film's narrative.

With fingers crossed and expecting that the entire album turns out to be a complete package experience, one plays on 'Chayee Hai Tanhayee', the last song of the album. Thankfully for the listener, this is what happens with Shafqat Amanat Ali doing quite well in this sad song which is entertaining nonetheless. A song about separation and the pain in heart that follows, 'Chayee Hai Tanhayee' has a 'sufi' flavour to it with the kind of beats that first became popular with 'Kehna Hi Kya' [Bombay]. However, the song is not just about Shafqat as Salim Merchant and Shruti Pathak make an extended appearance as well while ensuring that the song continues to flow smoothly.
OVERALL
This is turning out to be one real good season when it comes to romantic/feel good music being churned out in Bollywood. Mausam, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, Hum Tum Shabana and now Love Breakups Zindagi - there is a lot in store for those who swear by quintessential Bollywood scores. Go for this one, it will pleasantly surprise you.

The title from the famous song from the trio - K Balachander, MS Viswanathan and Kannadasan in the film Ninaithale Inikkum. The line got popularity after its remix from Dhanush starrer Pollathavan. The new film is directed by Saravanan for Fox Star Studios with the music director Sathya. The lyrics are from Na.Muthukumar, and the director himself. Now the songs are on the air with mediocre profile to reach the audience. Sathya has done a good job in securing his name through this album and makes a good mark over his talent.

Govindha

Lyrics: Na.Muthukumar
Playback: Boney, Vijay Prakash, Ranina
The song is quite impressive from the point of view of the lyrics. Na.Muthukumar has infused a new sense of emotional upsurge in this song. The voice mingling from Ranina, Vijay Prakash and Boney is remarkable. Particularly Vijay excels in his portion with natural flair. The instrumentation is creative and experimental as well. Sathya is understood to have fulfilled the needs of the director.
A good start indeed.

SOUND TRACK.



 Release Date : 30-sep-2011.
A leading light in the punk-pop genre, Motion City Soundtrack includes members Joshua Cain (guitar), Tony Thaxton (drums), Justin Pierre (vocals/guitar), Jesse Johnson (Moog), and Matthew Taylor (bass). Following their high-school graduation, Minneapolis natives Pierre and Cain -- both of whom were inspired by Sunny Day Real Estate, Jawbox, the Flaming Lips, and Superchunk -- formed the band in 1999. The pair assembled a temporary lineup and issued a self-released 7" that same year. Later, while touring through Pennsylvania in support of their release, Motion City Soundtrack met Thaxton and Taylor of the Virginia-based band Submerge. The two musicians decided to leave their hometown of Richmond, VA, to join Motion City Soundtrack full-time, and the expanded band soon entered the studio with producer/engineer Ed Rose (the Get Up Kids, Ultimate Facebook). Three weeks before recording commenced, they were also joined by keyboardist Jesse Johnson (whose personal record label, Ordinary Records, had issued some of Jimmy Eat World's earliest material in 1995) to relieve singer/guitarist Pierre of his synthesizer duties.

With a new lineup firmly in place, the band's punk-glazed debut, I Am the Movie, was released in the summer of 2003. While playing venues and basements in support of the album, Motion City Soundtrack was picked up by Epitaph Records; later, they joined blink-182 on a tour through Europe and Japan. Blink's bassist, Mark Hoppus, took a liking to the band and agreed to produce their next album; the resulting Commit This to Memory was released two years later and featured an increasingly pop-heavy sound. A deluxe version of the album (complete with bonus DVD) appeared in 2006, and the band spent the summer on Warped Tour before heading to Europe with OK Go that fall. Entering the studio for the third time, Motion City Soundtrack began to work with producers Adam Schlesinger (of Fountains of Wayne), Eli Janney (of Girls Against Boys), and Ric Ocasek (of the Cars). The completed product, Even If It Kills Me, was released in September 2007.

Even If It Kills Me cracked the Top 20 during its first week, becoming the band's highest-charting album to date. Major labels took notice, and by the following summer, Motion City Soundtrack had signed a new contract with Columbia Records. Eager to capitalize on such momentum, the group quickly wrapped up their Warped Tour obligations, wrote new material during the latter half of 2008, and returned to the recording studio with Mark Hoppus. My Dinosaur Life was completed by June 2009 and released early the following year, with "Disappear" serving as the lead single. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, Rovi
