While M.I.A. is likely to get the most attention on the soundtrack
to SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, TRAINSPOTTING director Danny Boyle's film
about a working-class boy in Mumbai, composer A.R. Rahman does the
real heavy lifting. While M.I.A collaborates with Rahman on
"O...Saya," and there are two versions of her well known "Paper
Planes," beyond that, it's pretty much Rahman's show. Whether he's
at the helm of instrumental compositions blending electronics,
Indian flavors, and hip-hop beats, or working with a variety of
Eastern singers, his blend of old and new is the perfect musical
companion to the film.
