In the Indian music industry, AR Rahman and Amit Trivedi are two of the best known and most admired composers and performers. Both have left an indelible mark on the music industry with a long list of songs that never fail to captivate us. If Rahman wowed us with songs like Dil Se Re, Yeh Jo Des Hai Tera, Rehna Tu, Kun Faya Kun and others, Trivedi wowed us with Zinda, Manjha, Pashmina, Naina Da Kya Kusoor and many more .
Aamir Khan’s film Aamir Khan was the first for which Bollywood music director Amit Trivedi wrote music (2008). But it was with Anurag Kashyap’s Dev D (2009) title track, Emotional Atyachaar, that he really made his mark. Amidst the disco-sounding popular Bollywood music (think a normal party song), there was this raw, edgy melody that reflected the character’s confusion. Since then, Amit has composed music for several popular films, including Ishaqzaade, Lootera and Queen. AR Rahman gave Amit his stamp of approval for his ability to handle a variety of genres including metal, jazz, folk, Punjabi pop and rock.
There is a large group of music fans who will always have Rahman and Trivedi songs on their playlists. After all why not ? Both have a way of uplifting our minds and spirits. Amit Trivedi and AR Rahman both helped us tremendously. These days, Kun Faya Kun & Zinda Hu Yaar have been our permanent state of mind. Is not it?
But, if you had to listen to only one artist for the rest of your life, who would it be between AR Rahman and Amit Trivedi?
