After a recent Bollywood awards function took a stand for
women’s empowerment, the music industry is now following suit. Oscar-winning
music composer AR Rahman is lending his support by producing an album on the
same theme under his record label, KM Musiq. What’s most interesting is that
Rahman’s collaborators are his own sisters, AR Rayhanah and Issrath. They will
team up for multiple songs in the Tamil album, which is titled Rasaayana
Rojaakkal (Chemical Roses). In fact, Rahman and his elder sister, Rayhanah,
have sung a duet, ‘Naan yen pirandein’ (Why was I born?), written by the famous
Tamil poet, Vaali.
Another song, ‘Ennile maha oliyo’ (I discovered the
divine light within me), has been sung by the sisters together. “The album is
very close to Rahman sir. He has been working hard on it for some time now.
Also, it’s even more special because he’s collaborating with his sisters on the
project,” says an industry insider. Both the songs aired on a popular music
show on Saturday.
“The album should be out in a few months’ time. Rahman
sir and his sisters are equally excited about it,” adds the insider. While Rahman
couldn’t be reached for a comment, his official Facebook page reads thus
(besides other information on the two songs): “Coming soon, is a production
from K. M. Musiq, Rasaayana Rojaakkal (Chemical Roses) whose theme is women’s
empowerment (sic).”
