THE BIG Pik of the month

Abhay Deol starrer, Dev Benegal’s soon to be released ‘Road, movie’ has included the old hit Johnny Walker song, ‘Tel malish – Sar Jo Tera Chakriye’, which was originally composed by SD Burman & sung by Mohammad Rafi. The director says that the song was chosen to bring a novelty factor and also to appeal to people from all generations. The new anglicised interpretation is sung by New York based vocalist Sylvia Gordon & music given by Michael Brook. We must say, the effort to touch that golden a song is brave & the song itself is breathtakingly fresh, peppy and only a visionary like Benegal could have imagined the old bollywood classic to be so spunky & extraordinary. We love it!

Voice of The Month

THE BIG Voice of the month

Clinton Cerejo is the hot new voice with ‘Hey Ya!’ from Karthik Calling Karthik topping the charts since a month now. His range of work otherwise has included vocal arrangements, musical arrangements & background scores. Just like most singers, he started with ad jingles to more mainstream work like ‘Kya Karoon’ from ‘Wake Up Sid’ which was yet another crooner. Interestingly his wife Dominique Cerejo rendered her voice to ‘Ye Tumhari Meri Baatein’ from ‘Rock On!!’ which became hugely popular. Wah, what a talented jodi.

THE BIG Mindless Trivia

Did you know the ad jingle for Close up’s now very famous ‘Paas Aao na’ was actually a song sung by Sona Mohapatra (of ‘Bolo Na’ fame) for her debut album ‘Sona’ ? The initial few seconds of the song have been licensed by the brand for its advertising campaign across various countries. It made for a very catchy jingle no doubt with its ringtones in demand like hotcakes. This is a first for an independent artist in India. The entire song is still available on Youtube.
