After achieving superstardom throughout Latin America, Colombian-born Shakira became Latin pop's biggest female crossover artist since Jennifer Lopez broke down the doors to English-language success. Noted for her aggressive, rock-influenced approach, Shakira maintained an extraordinary degree of creative control over her music, especially for a female artist; she wrote or co-wrote nearly all of her own material, and in the process gained a reputation as one of Latin music's most ambitiously poetic lyricists. When she released her first English material in late 2001, she became an instant pop sensation, thanks to her quirky poetic sense and a sexy video image built on her hip-shaking belly dance moves.


A.R. Rahman: Most Wanted!
IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, January 27, 2009]

Everyone in the Indian subcontinent agrees that his name is synonymous with contemporary music. Well we are talking about none other than Allah Rakha Rahman a.k.a. A. R. Rahman, the Mozart of Madras. With his golden Globe he has become a household name with people around the globe!
Now ARR has been roped in to compose a track for the famous pop group Pussycat Dolls. The song 'Jai Ho' from the film 'Slumdog Milionaire' will be remixed by the composer for the girl band which is well known for their stunning music videos.
Reports indicate that Rahman's association with the American music producer Jimmy Lovine got him this offer. The track will be produced by Palow Da Don.
The music wizard previously had said that the music he scored for the Hollywood film 'Elizabeth- The Golden Age' might not have been able to impress the foreign film and music critics because of its strong flavors of Indian music.
Indians have seen A. R. Rahman churning out one hit song after the other regularly and his incredible productivity without getting stale remains a wonder. Let us get together in wishing this talent all success and good health for him to scale higher and higher.
