How do you go about choosing the music? I think in all of your
films I've loved your musical choices and I think it really defines a
lot of your films.Boyle: Oh, I just love music. It's the bit I probably enjoy
more than
anything. When you get a chance to work with a guy like this guy– he's
an amazing composer, A. R. Rahman. It was obvious on this that you wanted– the
music in Bollywood films is
so expressive, it's so much more extreme and upfront than– we tend to
hide music, to make it psychological, hidden, Western really, where
there they declare it. It's like yeah this is romantic, oh this is
dangerous. And anyway so I approached this guy Rahman, and he's an
amazing songwriter, very hugely popular there, a huge, massive star,
unbelievable star there. And obviously he loved it because it was
something different for him to work with a Western director, and we had
a great time working on it. And they're all original songs that he's
written, apart from– there's an M.I.A. song in the middle of it, "Paper
Planes." And she also is a big fan if his because she grew up with all
his music because she's– her family is part Sri Lankan, part London. So
she was like speechless at the chance to sing for him. So she sings on
the first song for him, and then we used her song in the middle. So
it's really nice.
I'm very proud of the soundtrack, because it's very unusual. It
feels very fresh. That was one of the things I noticed here, watching
it in front of a Western audience– because I haven't really seen it in
front of an audience– the music felt really fresh. And I loved that, I
thought it was really nice. It's been lovely.
