The Hollywood movie "Couples Retreat" is set for release on October 9. The film stars Vince Vaughn, Kristen Bell, Faizon Love, and many more. "Couples Retreat" is a comedy that follows four couples who are all at a tropical resort, going through therapy sessions and learning about their relationships. With all these emotions, an exotic location, and a comedic tone, A.R. Rahman set out to compose the album’s soundtrack.
With track titles like "Jason and Cynthia Suite" and "Tour of the Villas," it is understandable that the music has been composed to compliment the scene in which it will be placed, as Hollywood movies always do. With four couples from different walks of life, the soundtrack contains a wide range of instruments and music styles. A.R. Rahman not only shines on his classical Indian music selections, but the orchestra on "Jason and Cynthia Suite" and "Itinerary" is phenomenal!Songs like "Nana" and "Kurukuru Kan (Afro Nisha)" take on very ethnic, island vibes that are complimentary to the film’s setting. For the South Asian ear, tracks like "Undress" and "Intervention" have familiar A.R. Rahman instruments and sounds.
A.R. Rahman has put together yet another masterpiece! Every song has its story, its own sound, and its own mood. With 15 tracks you would think that one would fall flat, but I couldn’t seem to find one. A.R. Rahman has incorporated musical styles and instruments from around the globe, showing how diverse his talents can be. Judging by the soundtrack, "Couples Retreat" will do well in theaters. I recommend this soundtrack to everyone; whether you are in the mood for emotional and diverse music or just want to support A.R. Rahman, this soundtrack is worth checking out.
