Free Music Notes for Bombay Dreams (2002 Original London Cast)

Free Music Review: a little taste of bollywood
Hit: 5 Stars

You may look at this going, oh its just a bunch of show tunes - but its much more then that. I had the very lucky opportunity to see this show in 2003 with the original London cast. And since that day, i have been listening to the album to this very day. The songs give you a idea of exactly what hindi music is like. Most of the songs are in English with just a few like chaiyya chaiyya not in english. Even though they are from the show, you can continue to listen them for a long time after because they travel with you. They are almost exactly like pop songs that you can play in your car or on your stero and never get tired of them.

I played "only love" just the other day when i was driving in my car. Three years later, and i still listen to their music just about every day. It becomes a part of you, and even if ur like me and dont understand Hindi - it wont stop you from singing along, even if your making up your own words. You'd be surprise that after a while, you can sing back the whole song without music.

While this is a more pop version of the asian songs that are on the market, it is sure to be a cd that you wont get tired of listening to. It has so many different beats and rythems and up tempo and down tempo songs. It will fill your head. My personal favorites are: Wedding Qawwali, Don't Release Me, Chaiyya Chaiyya, Salaam Bombay, Like An Eagle. You pick your own favorites, but believe me, you will never regret buying this album. If you think the clips are awesome, wait till you hear the whole song!

Bombay Dreams (2002 Original London Cast) Poster

Just when you thought Andrew Lloyd Webber was stuck in a rut, he pulls off a new success. But maybe the reason Bombay Dreams is so lively is that Lloyd Webber only acted as a Svengali producer, helping Indian composer A.R. Rahman (Lagaan) make his debut on Western stages. And that move proved to be inspired.

Indeed, at a time when many people complain that new musicals have become dreary and have lost all sense of fun, Lloyd Webber imported talent from the one place where entertainment for entertainment's sake is still alive and well: Bollywood. The Indian film industry cranks out hundreds of movies every year, a huge number of them deliriously gaudy musicals, and so it was a natural resource to mine. The plot of Bombay Dreams is on par with your usual musical-theater fare, but the songs are unlike anything ever heard on Broadway or the West End. Sure, the lyrics by Don Black (Sunset Boulevard) flirt with sheer idiocy, but the music that surrounds them is so irrepressibly lively that you'll simply focus on it and it alone. Borrowing both Indian (ragas) and Western (electronic dance music) elements, Rahman and his co-producer, Marius de Vries (who's worked with Björk), have come up with a delicious musical treat. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
