Jiya Se Jiya!!!

ARR’s first private album after Vande Mataram!! Thanks Nokia!!! The album, ‘Connections’, will be exclusively available on Nokia Xpress Music devices from January, they say. I hope they release it as a separate CD as well, would register good sales. I must say, bumper year for A.R.Rahman fans!!! So many albums this year, more than the last three years combined.
One song from the album, Jiya Se jiya, is being beamed on all music channels ever since the release three days ago. Check out the video :

First time ARR appears in a music video without sunglasses, and not on a desert with long hair .
The video is really cool, Sivamani adds up to the spice. The free hugs concept is borrowed from Juan Mann’s Free Hugs campaign.

This is what AR had to say about Connections:

“I am very happy to join hands with Nokia for yet another industry first. The album, Nokia Connections is very close to my heart as we have taken inspiration from different walks of life to create nine soundtracks that establish the diversity of music,” and he concludes “In today’s time a song like “Jiya se Jiya” becomes even more relevant as it gives the message of embracing everyone irrespective of their region, religion or language.”

ARR, you rock!!!
