Remix culture - delighting or sickening??
This has been the latest topic in Kollywood and of course
controversies to have shot with regarding this issue. Remixing
songs: do they really happen to great treat for the present
generation or an annoying part for the music lovers who were
bound together with yesteryear melodies and got sickened
after hearing the remix of same songs.
Let's take a glimpse through the origin of remix era in Tamil
film industry…
It all started with Yuvan Shankar Raja when he added
additional beats to his father's yesteryear Pop song
'Aasai Nooru Vagai'. This song was done for
Vishnuvardhan's debut directorial 'Kurumbu'. Then,
came the remix star D.Imman who dominated with all
his extravaganzas of gimmicks in adding English raps
to the songs. However, the entire globe would agree
with the fact that AR Rahman, the music-techno-superstar
is the king of remix. Not just the songs, he has his
creativity laid on each and every tunes he renders music for.
His first one ' Thottal Poo Malarum' was out of blue
since it didn't carry the same old tune. But an enchanting
tune and mild beats picked the attention. Sooner
bloomed the market for remixes where each and every
music director in tinsel town started to show their works
of remix.
There was also some of the funny part where music
directors like Mani Sharma had no efforts put on remixing
the songs. Well, it was more evident with 'Aae Aattha
Aathoramma Vaariya' for Malaikottai. No changes
were made for the song other than adding sound beats.
Yuvan Shankar Raja and Vishnu Vardhan together
shored on a blockbuster remake 'Billa' where couple of
songs were remixed. "My Name is Billa" and
"Vaitthalaya Pottendi" were exactly the same in new
version. However, feedbacks were that the songs of
original version weren't overbeaten by Yuvan.
A.R.Rahman, the remix King came up with an astounding
score for Vijay's Azhagiya Tamizh Magan on 'Ponmagal
Vandhal'. The song was really an excellent piece of work
where the voices were superb and of course the music,
mild beats and rap relating to the main songs added more
colors to the tune.
So over here, we have something for our viewers to decide
who is the best music director churning out stupendous remixes?
