Author : Srivathsa
Synopsis:Sakkarakatti is sweet , but without the lyrics!
It has been raining Rahman for the past few months. After the Stupendous "Jodha
Akbar", Peppy "Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na" and entracing "Ada" , its something that doesnt
reach those heights but a sweet album "Sakkarakatti". I'm too impatient to review
track by track and this is not a review but my opinion on the album.
"Taxi Taxi" - "Taxi Taxi" is Finicky and Peppy. Blaaze does have his command
over the first few lines of the song and after that its almost a typical Rahman
song. A nice fast listen.And why is hip - hop affecting Indian music too much nowadays?
"Marudaani" - would be my original pick of the album (I don't consider Chinnama
and Yesh Rishtaa, as they belong to Rahman's own spellbinding "Meenaxi"). Sung well,
but with bad tamil accent , which doesnt spoil the song to a noticable extent. Very
well orchestrated, sung and again the lyrics ain't that good.
"I Miss You" - "I Miss You", sung in the husky tone, din;t impress me much
at the beginning, but then , nowadays I'm feeling its kinda good.
"Yelai" - ", this must have been the most creative song of the album with
guitar strummings and scottish tunes. But then the lyrics spoils it. I mean it.
How long are we going to use the galaxy, antenna , telescopes...is it futuristic?
I mean, it sounds like the lyrics is written somewhere in the 80s. And I would like
the lyricists to undertand today's youth don't use such scientific terms. But the
song as far the music is concerned is very impressive. It has a rahmanisque ambience
which is what we expect. Don't we?
"Nee eppodum " and "Chinnama" are the same tracks from Meenaxi. "Yeh Rishtaa" is
one of my life time favourite track, and I din't even bother to listen it tamil.I
donot want to spoil the image I have on the song. On the whole, "Sakkarakati" music
may not be as sweet as sugar but surely as a sugar free sachet for the diabetics
patients.
