Ah Aah

Posted by: Karthik In: Tamil OST

Rahman exhausts his repertoire of period scores in Hindi and is back in Tamil with Ah Aah! Heavy on orchestration and with surprisingly good lyrics by Valee, the album showcases SJ Surya’s sensibilities more than Rahman’s. Mayiliragae and its remix (with different lyrics and mood – novel attempt!) Marankothiye are charming. The choice of singers is good, except the annoying, uncredited male voice in the Persian-sounding Thigu Thigu. Thazhuvudhu loses everything including the tune midway. Varugiraai is an interesting variation for the otherwise somber pathos genre! And finally, Aararai Kodi with Rahman’s vocals, announces Rahman’s comeback in Tamil – with a bang.

    Over the years, I've listened to this album song by song and enjoyed them immensely. But Thazhuvudu for me, is just awesomely done.

    When this album first came out, the music didn't appeal to me.

    I recently listened to it a few weeks ago, and was impressed by the quality and innovative instrumentation. Now, almost 2(1/2) years after its release, I like this album a lot.

    This goes to my taste in music changing a little over the years, but also I believe it has a lot to do with Rahman's music (well, at least some of his music) being ahead of it's time.

    I also think that in a few years, his 'Maricham' song from SOK will be appreciated a lot more than it is now.
