It's ironic that the most recognized album of A.R. Rahman is not
his best work. For many Rahman fans, Slumdog Millionaire is not
exactly the sound that they attribute to him. His Bollywood
successes are designed as playback songs rather than as
background scores. Thus, with the additional element of vocal
melodies, his past accomplishments weigh heavily in public
perception of his incredible music. While it very well deserved
the enthusiastic applause at the Academy Award and Golden Globe
ceremonies, Slumdog Millionaire will ignite lesser fervor in
someone who has followed Rahman's music closely over the past two
decades. It still has the all-pervading signature sound of Rahman
with its brilliant percussion, ominous electronica, and somber
crooning, yet it displays a more hurried pace in contrast to his
more subtle offerings, in which music serves as a colorful canvas
behind beautiful vocal portraits. What's more interesting with
this album is the flash of experimentation that wouldn't have
been possible in a Bollywood album -- minimalist electronica with
"Riots," acid jazz with "Millionaire," and big beat with "Liquid
Dance." Rahman packs this album with his usual well-credited
crew, including Blaaze for the hip-hop-styled "Gangsta Blues,"
Sukhwinder Singh for album highlight "Jai Ho," and Suzanne for
the lighthearted "Latika's Theme" and "Dreams on Fire." The most
talked-about addition in the list of singers here is M.I.A. She
delivers exciting vocals on the opening theme "O... Saya." The
album also includes an original song from M.I.A.'s Kala album
the hit "Paper Planes" (also here in a special remix), as well as
the Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy composition "Aaj Ki Raat" from the film
Don. The success of Slumdog Millionaire's music can be traced
back to the success of the film, and while the world was late in
noticing Rahman until Slumdog Millionaire remedied that
situation, listeners should explore his other offerings -- both
past and, one assumes, future -- that could be considered more
highly deserving of accolades
