Rahman releases whole album of 99 Songs online

Rahman has turned writer-producer with the film 99 Songs. The romantic movie is directed by debutant director Vishwesh Krishnamoorthy and will release in three languages, including Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. 99 Songs will also introduce Ehan Bhat. Presented by Jio Studios, the film is produced by Rahman’s production company YM Movies and co-produced by Ideal Entertainment. It is directed by Vishwesh Krishnamoorthy and also features Ehan Bhat, Edilsy Vargas, Aditya Seal, Lisa Ray and Manisha Koirala.

“I had such amazing time writing, producing and scoring 99 Songs, even though it is more work than usual. Some of the songs had to evolve with the character and the story, whereas some play as part of the soundtrack,” Rahman said. The album is distributed by Sony Music India. The music director said he is glad to reunite with the label after popular albums such as Vande Mataram, Rang De Basanti, Guru and OK Jaanu. He said, “Our team is excited to work with Sony Music again, carrying our relationship into 23 years. I hope you like the songs. I want to thank you all in advance for your support and love as always!”
