Now that classes have ended for the time being until fall semester, I can concentrate more on my music. Now my mind has shifted to a more Bollywood scene. There is a new movie coming out called Luck; considering Bollywood's interpretation of crime drama I do not expect much from the movie, but the soundtrack has proven to be quite a surprise. The music is composed by Salim Merchant and Suliman Merchant; I've not heard a lot from these guys, but the music they composed for Luck is very well done. Its dark, sexy and just fun to listen to. I took a personal favourite to a song called "Laaga Le." I suggest you all give it a listen, but remember, these links are only for promotional purposes only!

Right now, I am definitely in the mood for some simple dance music; Lady Gaga seems to fit my mood quite well and I feel like most will enjoy her music. By now, her music has already graced the radio stations with "Just Dance" getting a number 1 spot on the US dance charts. Lady Gaga originally began as a songwriter hired to write songs for groups like the "Pussycat Dolls." She then collaborated with Lady Starlight in 2007; Lady Starlight helped her to establish her style that she is so well renowned for today. Eventually, Lady Gaga went solo and released her chart-topping singles, "Just Dance" and "Poker Face." Then, she released her famous album, "The Fame." It included "Just Dance," "Poker Face," and other very catchy tracks. I want to introduce my readers to a few lesser known songs of Lady Gaga. "Fashion" was on the soundtrack of Confessions of Shopaholic. I haven't seen the movie, but I do know that the song is extremely catchy. It's not exactly groundbreaking, but it's fun to listen to. The same applies to "Kaboom." It's not very groundbreaking or emotionally touching, but it sure as hell is catchy.

I do realize that it has been a while, but in my defense, college does require time and effort. Now that I am done explaining my lack of posting, I guess I should begin posting music. My current obsession is the songs from the film Ghajini. For those of you who do not know, Ghajini was originally a film that was created in Tamil. It was based of the film Memento, so it was quite an interesting development in Tamil cinema. In this interpretation, the main character is the leader of a large coorporation that has short term memory loss. Even though he has this mental illness, he wants to avenge the death of the love of his life. In short, it is a pretty amazing film, and I am quite interested to see the Hindi version of the film. The music in the Tamil version was outstanding (to say the least); the music in the Hindi version is good but it does not compare. The music is composed by the famous A.R. Rahman, but he fails to match the same haunting tunes that Harris Jayraj (composed the Tamil Ghajini soundtrack) managed to create. Nonetheless, the soundtrack is enjoyable and upon a few listens, it is bearable. I am a personal fan of the song "Guzarish." It is simple and easy on the ears. It is very melodious and there is not a lot of weird embelishment on the song.

I'm back and right now, I'm kind of in a j-urban music/Namie Amuro kind of mood. Namie has been in the Japanese music industry for quite a while. She began in a group called Super Monkeys singing eurodance music in the early 90s. Finally, she started her solo career with "Try me." After this hit, she sung many more hit songs and her popularity rose. Eventually, she had to take a break due to her marriage and pregnancy, but she eventually came back. Again, her songs were quite popular and she rose to favor yet again, but tragedy struck when her mother was brutally murdered. Fans were afraid that this would permanently put an end to Namie's singing career, but she came back to the industry with a new sound. Instead of singing pop/dance music, she started to sing hip hop/r&b tracks. At first, she was not well received, but she soon rose to prominence yet again. Personally, I adore Namie Amuro and her music and her latest song with Double (another j-urban artist), Black Diamond, does not disappoint. I like the feeling of the song and in terms of singing, I feel that both Namie and Double did a fairly good job. I also suggest watching the MV for the song; Namie clearly outshines Double in terms of dancing and beauty but it is still a fun video to watch. .

I figured that I'd start a music blog since I feel that a lot of music from different countries isn't given enough recognition. Currently, I've been having an obsession with chill trance, mainly that of Hôtel Costes and it's DJ Stéphane Pompougnac. For those of you who aren't familiar with the hotel, it's fairly well known in Paris for its bar and courtyard café. The hotel releases Cds which primarily consist of chill trance and lounge music. Currently, I have been obsessed with a couple of tracks from the Hôtel Costes discography. London in the Rain is an excellent track that I immediately adored. My Funny Valentine is also an excellent track which is very calming to listen to. The last track that I recommend is What it Feels like for a Girl by the legendary Madonna. Pompougnac gives this track a new feeling suited to that of Hôtel Costes. The remix is another easy to listen to track. For more Hôtel Costes, I suggest picking up their album, Best of Costes... it's a great way to introduce oneself to Hôtel Costes.
