As every time i do,Before I continue wid my views on the Music I Speacially Thank to Chaitanya Very good freind of mine.

Frankly, am a great fan of A.R.Rahman its very unusual me hearing to non ARR music,Ofcourse nobody till date have really challanged A.R.Rahman. More,Rahmans music,notes have Spirutial and Divine Touch which makes it so special.Few days back i read an article about Mickey J Meyer
( http://www.idlebrain.com/celeb/interview/mickeyjmeyer.html ) 2-3 days Later Chaitanya gave me Happy Days. Initially i was bit suspect about Music,But when I listened to the very first track "Arey Rey" I knew I got it wrong. Was a totally different Expirence Later i listened to all the tracks.All tracks were new,fresh,Melodious.

TRACKLISTINGS:

1)Arey Rey-Karthik
2)Jill Jill Jinga-Krishna Chaitanya, Kranthi, Aditya Siddharth, Sashi Kiran
3)Happy Days-Naresh Iyer, Mickey J. Meyer
4)Ya Kundendu-Pranavi
5)O My Friend-Karthik
6)Ye Cheekati-Ranjith, Sunitha Sarathy
7)Happy Days (Slow Version)-Harshika, Mickey J. Meyer


1)Arey Rey....Best track of the Album.Undoubtedly this song enters into my Library. amazingly sung by Karthik I had never heard Karthik singing such a melody.Especially the notes.."Ni Sa Ga Ri Sasaasa Ni..." Mickey Just plays the same notes thru out the movie simply mind blowing. Music suppliments every seen in the movie.More Importantly Guitar and other arrangements adds to the Melody of the Song.

2)Jill Jill Jinga...A youthfull number. Many reviews said this song has lot of Rahmanish Touch (Song- Dhakalakka frm Yuva) and We will Rock You. But I absolutely deny,May be some inspiration.I just love the lines.."Nee confirmation Illa".On a whole nice track...refreshing ,Nicely Done.. Special mention on Jazz bit.

3)Happy Days...Title Track of the album...Few years back I did Criticise Naresh Iyers singing abilities.But today hes so matured ,has worked really hard to bag his first National Award(Rang De Basanthi).Me obsessed wid ARR....listening to this track did feel Mickey has tried to copy the chords of Rahmans ("Journey Home" from Bombay Dreams)...Belive me the chords of these two tracks are so close... yet I appreciate Mickys Work speacially the "String" arrangements...Awesome!

4)O My Friend...Another treat for Music lovers hardcore Melody..Karthik doin the job again Kudos to him! catch of the song is the Chorous goin wowowww...by Mickey.Mickey sounds good.Again Music arrangements are good, bits of Acordian sounds good too.Just...WOowOWOwoOWowoWOowOWowwwwww..oooooooooooo..

5) Ye Cheekati...A fast number nothin much to comment okay song of the album still people will love this song.Musically speaking nothin much.Software & Techno Music.Asusal Sunitha does well...Did Mickey tried Fannah? hehee.....if u ask me my answer will be "Yes".

6)Happy Days (Slow Version).......This is my second fav in the album. Last song of the album.The beauty of the song is the transition from the western to classical and Harshika is Fabolous.

The other track is just a sloka. All Rahman Folks will enjoy am very sure about it.Mickey has done a great job.All credits to him.Most noticable is picking right singers.Music arrangements, Mixing is very Impressive.Mickey graduating from Trinity college of Music exibhits the art of arranging Back Ground Music. On a whole I rate 4/5, a great Musical.
Finally My Happy Days coming to an End!
