Interview in Cinegoer.com 




Orange might have tanked at the box-office but none can deny humming it's lilting melodies even after so many months. The 'Ola Olaala Ala' number has been sung by our own Ranina Reddy a Telugu girl, born and brought up in Bangalore and now settled in Chennai. Veera, Rangam, Sarai Veerraju, U & I, Engeyum Kaadhal and more, the lady has 26 Tamil and 8 Telugu songs in her kitty and is now looking to spread her wings in the Telugu music field.

"Singing is in my gene, appa is into theatre and amma is into light music," says the effervescent young lady who became a thorough professional at the age of three when she sang for a Kannada tele serial Nanaganada Hero.

She started performing on stage regularly when she was 14 years old and became the first Minus Track singer in Bangalore. She explains the word Karaoke is wrong, it is actually termed a Minus Track where there is no live band on stage, the music is played on CD and there is live singing. At that point of time she couldn't afford a live band, wasn't that famous so she took up dances as a back up. Very passionate about a career in singing, she was busy 365 days and doesn't lament neglecting her studies; did not complete her graduation.

While her first break as a playback singer came through Silanthi, she became a celebrity overnight through Kodana Kodi, a hit number from Saroja. She followed it up with Devisri's number in Current and the 'Ola Olaala Ala' helped her get a zillion followers on Facebook.

She recollects, "I was at the gym when Harris Jayaraj called and asked me to be there in half an hour. I thought it was a prank call and disconnected but again my phone buzzed and it was for real. I was asked to write the rap." Ranina Reddy's forte is hip hop. She says pop is more girly, our films are more based on R & B (Rhythm and Blues) plain compositions without too many percussions. Hip hop has a rap, singing is less. There is more importance on rthym though the tempo is less. It is groovy.

On the personal front she freaks out Sufi music and adds, "I love the rawness, the message it carries, the original and divine feel." The singer is glad at the number of opportunities being given to youngsters and gives the entire credit to the parents, she says earlier they would stress only on studies, would be narrow-minded and they now understand that their kids are far more mature, expressive and have their priorities right which is very good."

Music Reviews 




"Maalai Mangum Neram" - Rowthiram 

  • Maalai Mangum Neram-3/5
            Singers: Ranina Reddy
            Lyrics: Thamarai
This song impresses the listener during the first hear itself. Ranina’s voice is truly seductive and recalls the songs like Ondrai Irandai in Kaakka Khakka and Vaseegara in Minnale. Prakash Nikki has tried something new by roping in Ranina in place of Bombay Jayashree or Andrea as these kind of songs are generally sung by them. A perfect song, with no errors to identify. Cherry-pick of the album- you would surely go for a rewind press….

  • Prakash Niiki comes out in flying colours in the very first song itself. His smartness lies not just in composing a soothing melody with interesting interludes, but also in picking Ranina Reddy to sing it. A mesmerizing musical attempt is 'Maalai Mangum Neram...,' no doubts. However, don't blame us if you are reminded of Harris Jayaraj.

  • Girl’s amorous feelings expressed for her beau and when you’ve Thamarai penning lyrics for such a track, it’s an undeniable hit. Thamarai has always succeeded in exhibiting the deepest feelings of a woman in some of her previous works that include ‘Vaseegara’ (Minnale) and ‘Ondra Renda’ (Kaakha Kaakha). Moreover the similarity doesn’t end here as newcomer Prakash Nikki’s composition has some close similarities with these songs: crooned in low bass voice and slow-paced beats. Ranina Reddy’s intoning style deserves appreciations.

  • The cherry-pick of this album and it’s sure to rock the town like ‘Ondrai Irandai’ and ‘Vaseegara’. Both the musical score and the crooning style goes the same way. Usually music directors would opt for Bombay Jayashree or Andrea for such numbers and newcomer Prakash Nikki goes for a change selecting Ranina Reddy. It’s a good stroke.
  •  'Maalai Mangum Neram', a subtle melody sung perfectly by Ranina Reddy. This is in fact a mesmerizing track which is likely to impress the listener immediately. This song is likely to be played in all the FM channels for the next few days. Debut music director Prakash Nikki's instrumentations are pretty interesting. And above all Ranina Reddy's voice is truly seductive.

  • Ranina Reddy’s seductive vocals gels with Maalai mangum neram’s sedate tune; it does offer an enchanting combination that impresses almost immediately.

  • Maalai Mangum Neram – is the first song of the album. The song sounds similar to a Bombay Jayasree rendering, but when you look at the singer name we see Ranina Reddy as the singer. The music with the combination of Thamarai's lyrics, naturally reminds us and takes us back to the combination of Bombay Jayasree, Harris Jayaraj and Thamarai songs. Cant help it. But this might be a good melody to the album, by eh debut music composer Prakash Nikki. The opening song infact sounds similar to 'Pudhu Vellai' song from Roja. 

    Singer - Ranina Reddy ; Lyrics -  Thamarai

  • Fresh and Fantastic. We can call this so. This song is the masterpiece of the newcomer and we have to salute Prakash Nikki for giving out such a track in his first album itself. Whole song have lingering drum beats and the lyrics justifies the tune. The composition is simple with just some additions to the drum beats. The song descries the love of a girl and Ranina has given out very good vocals with feel. The song is sure to top the charts. The romantic flick is so beautiful that this is a great song from a newcomer to the Kolylwood film industry. Best pick of the album. Never leave this one in your love and you will surely repeat the song. This song is going to be loved by all age groups and now the video only matters. Brave work..

"Ola Oola La - Sydney Nagaram" - Orange 

  • The song starts with the lyric 'Ooh la' by the singers and then comes a lady rap by Ranina, who has a whacky voice that keeps coming up here and there in the song, well done girl! Male vocalist Karunya sings the song in a slow tune, which is mostly shot in Sydney! The song turns mellifluous whenever the 'I am in Love' verse comes up.

    A breezy song with a moderate tempo! Contemporary beats are prevalent throughout the song. Expect the hero to walk or drive on the road while this song's on!
    Good start to the album.
http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/telugu/musicreview/12396.html

  • Wow! The album starts off on a trendy note with “Ooola Oolaala…..Ala choosthe ne Chaala, Ila naa kallu ninne choosthundala, Chaala lovely ga…..Ilaa repavu gola, Madesilona surfing chesthondeela”. Here Karunya delivers a great performance. And Harris Jayaraj’s ability to mix that light rock feel with Karunya’s vocals is of high quality. The second version vocalized by Ranina Reddy is a good addition to the song and helps build the youthful feel. Karunya’s rendition in the following lines is just awesome.

" Engeyum Kadhal " - Engeyum Kadhal 

  • The first song, Engeyum Kadhal is a lovely ballad in which singer Aalap Raju aptly conveys the emotion behind the wonderfully-written lyrics (penned by Thamarai). It’s composed along similar lines as “Nenjukkul Peidhidum” from the film Vaaranam Aayiram, with its breezy melody and simple yet effective beats. Devan and Raina Reddy add an extra dimension to the song with their vocals, creating a song that is a pleasant opener to the album.

" Bhoome Gundranga"- Dhada 

  • Bhoome Gundramga  Music: Devi Sri Prasad Lyrics: Ramajogayya Sastry, Ranina Reddy Singer: Richard, Ranina Reddy
    Devisri starts with a rap number which is targeted at the youth and is sure to make them happy. Singers Richard and Ranina Reddy did wonderful job. Ranina Reddy penned the lyrics by herself for the lines she rendered. The lines sung by Richard were written by Ramajogayya Sastry. It’s a very trendy track with good drum sounds and hand clapping in the middle of the song. As soon as this track began, you all know what is expected from the rest ofthe album. With a funky rhythm to boast, the fun begins the moment Ranina starts crooning. Overall it is an enjoyable number.
