"Love Birds" starring the dancing sensation Prabhudeva and Naghma quite sadly didnt make any bucks at the boxoffice. But the music by the master AR Rahman was spoken worldwide. It marked the beginning of International artists collaboration with a Tamil film musician. The main highlight and also selling point of this album was AR Rahman's collaboration with Apache Indian. As every album of ARR boasts, even Love Birds had a mix of all genre songs.....from the Hiphop "Samba Samba", "No Problem" to the outrageously mellifying "Malargale" , from the more classically haunting "Naale Ulagam" to an extreemly witty care-free song "Come On Kaamatchi..." Samba Samba --> Aslam Mustafa I rate this song one of the best hiphops Indian music has ever produced.! I just wonder how if this song had released in 2009. It would have taken the music industry by storm!!! Absolutely no doubts about it..!! And who's this Aslam Mustafe..??? He came out of a blue, did wonders and vanished away all of a sudden.!!! The tongue twisting fast rap towards the end of the song and also in the middle is just amazing..!!! Hats off to ARR....but he could have preserved this song for future... No Problem --> A R Rahman, Apache Indian, Chorus Need i say anything about this gem of a song? Everything in this song is so perfect. Be it choosing the apt artiste from west to do justice. I am not sure..but i think we can hear Apache taking ARR's name in his lines....!! The chorus part is simply awesome.!!! Rahman's vocals to Vairamuthu's tamil lines are soo impressive. I really cant write much about this song...coz there are no words for me to describe it.... Again i believe this song was way too ahead of time... Many people have ignored its beauty....time for revival of the same song from the same man..wat say.??? Malargale Malargale --> Hariharan , Chitra Another milestone in Hariharan and Chitra's career..!!! Chitra, in many performance stages has confessed herself that she couldnt do complete justice to the expectations of ARR in this particular track. But, i think, she is amazing as always in this song as well. Mandolins have been extensively used in this song by ARR.!! The song simply doesnt fade off in my memory for many many years to come.! I also rate the video of this song high, since its picturisation is simply awesome.!! Come On Come On ---> Mano, Chorus One of the wittiest, carefree songs from ARR. The chorus part is the main backbone of this song. "Ma..Ma...Magic...No..No..Logic..!!!"..and many other lines like "chakkuukongaaa.....something" is extreemly hilarious! Lyrics syncs with the composition beautifully and so is Mano's rendition..!! Mano is one of those great singers whom we miss these days in ARR's compositions, sadly.! Naalai Ulagam ---> Unni Krishnan, Sujatha Unarguably one of the most underrated songs of ARR! Sadly, this classic composition has been comfortably forgotten by the public. Also, i doubt whether this song featured in the movie at all. What best can be said about Unni Krishnan in these types of classical mixed romantic songs? He simply excels...its his forte'. Sujatha also equally excels and mesmerises. I recommend all Rahmaniacs and non Rahmaniacs to give a hear to this song.!! Its really classic.! Just 5 songs...??? Hmmm...Yes :-)
