Anaida is back
Four years in the waiting and she hits back. She had been missing from the circuit for quite a while. One might wonder where was she all this while. Anaida who made a rocking entry in the world of music took to a long self-imposed hibernation that has just got over. She put her hibernation to the best use. She used it to work on her new album Nayaa. As the title suggests the album rediscovers Anaida in a different way. She has worked on 35 songs to zero down to 10 numbers in the film. The album took about six months technically in the making. She has worked on this album while she was away from the Indian circuit abroad. She has roped in Craig Bernard (Hollywood) to direct her video and Sonia Kashuk to do the make up bit. These two are international figures in their own departments. The video for the album will be on air soon.
Anand Milind and Lata team up again
Lataji, the living musical legend is recuperating from illness. She was recently down with viral flu. This has pushed back many of her recordings that she was to do last month. There is a song for Shamir Tandon who is doing the music for Madhur Bhandarkar's next film. She was quite happy to have worked with such a young talented music director. The songs like Kitne Ajeeb from Page 3 keeps Lataji young and ticking. She also has Oriya and Bengali films for recording. She also has a song pending for Vinay of the Nikhil Vinay duo. They have long parted ways. Vinay is composing music for his elder brother's film. Fortunately old music director duo Anand Milind has not parted ways. They are composing music for a new film Kuch Tum Bhi Kaho Kuch Hum Bhi Kahein. They have been busy on it for over a month. It is for this film that the duo has reunited with Lataji after a long time interval. Lataji was incidentally the first singer to record for Anand Milind in their times. The music directors are waiting for her to recuperate completely before they start working. Lataji also has a special recording with Aadesh Shrivastav.
Anand Raj Anand: Remixing is a violation of intellectual property rights
'It's not fair when after doing everything, someone else take the credit for doing very little. I've remixed my own songs in my upcoming film Aryan,' says music composer Anand Raj Anand who is joining the ever-growing list of disgruntled composers who are unhappy with the mauling that their 'originals' receive at the hands of shake-a-bum-DJs. With the menace of piracy, clawing at the revenue share, the music companies want the DJs as it adds value to the music album as a product. In a way it also serves as an incentive to the customer for getting more than what he asks for. Moreover, the number of songs is getting lesser in a film, so a remix of each song makes more numbers in an album. The DJs are laughing all the way to the bank as they end up having loads of shows and bulk projects 'I personally don't agree with the ethics involved in what the DJs are doing these days. It's a violation of intellectual property rights. The situation is similar to the fact that someone makes a painting and someone else adds a small dash of color at the end of it and calls the painting as his own. All I can say is'.It happens only in India,' Anand Raj Anand reiterates. Initial reaction of Anand Raj Anand might have been an honest outburst, but during the course of the conversation, his words cloaked a more diplomatic stance. 'It's not as if I am against someone remixing my songs for ultimately it has to be an understanding between the music composer, the music company and the DJ who has to remix. Everyone has to be taken into confidence,' he says sheepishly. The reason for this change-of-heart is the aggressive bent-of-mind followed by the music companies as they are not willing to pander to anyone's whims and fancies. Nobody is indispensable, they feel. And Anand Raj Anand is no Himesh Reshamiya to get away with anything. But the tussle for creative supremacy shall surely get into a bloody conflict sooner or later. Till that time, could you please pump up the volume on DJ Akbar Sami's Tu Hi Meri Shab Hai.
