June 15th 2009

" 'Connections' is a very special album of songs done at various stages of my life" - says the ace composer.

One ballistic album from the charismatic composer who has made India proud in all aspects! After conquering the Grammys and Oscars, A R Rahman is here with a line-up of memorable numbers which exude a personal touch from the Maestro himself.Connections takes you through some magnificent symphonies composed, sung & handpicked by A. R. Rahman.

"Connections is a very special compilation of songs done at various stages of my life. They all mean a lot to me and I hope the album will be enjoyed by all" says Rahman. An exceptional album in many counts! It's got the Maestro's personal favourites like Khalballi (Rang De Basanti), Dil Se Re (Dil Se) & Meherbaan (Ada)Connections also has Rahman's first English-language release "Pray for me Brother" and his immensely popular and cult classic "Bombay Theme". In true sense it reflects the Maestro's "journey through anthems" and a must-have for every Rahmaniac and the ones who are about to be!

Released exclusively on Universal Music, Connections is also available in a Collector's Edition Pack that features the 'Rockstar Version' video of "Jiya Se Jiya". For the first time ever Rahman appears in a zingy new avatar grooving alongside ace-percussionist Sivamani.
