Columbia Records/Legacy Recordings, a division of Sony Music Entertainment, is premiering a music video for For You My Love (a new original song penned by Oscar and Grammy winning composer A.R. Rahman for the "Blinded By The Light" soundtrack) last weekend.
Directed by Amith Krishnan (who worked on “One Heart: The A.R. Rahman Concert Film"), the For You My Love music clip intercuts scenes from "Blinded By The Light" with new footage featuring A.R. Rahman on piano with singers Hriday Gattani (performing English verses) and Parag Chhabra (performing Punjabi verses) alongside choreographed dancers in a dreamy Bollywood setting.
“It is always a pleasure to work my friend, A.R." said "Blinded By The Light" director Gurinder Chadha. "He has the amazing ability to go straight to the emotional heart of whatever composition is required by me or the film. 'For You My Love' is a wonderful blend of Western and Eastern sensibilities brought together by A.R. Rahman’s masterful magic.”
“The timing of ‘Blinded By The Light’ is so right," said A.R. Rahman "It's a reminder to those who have forgotten the beauty of life, which is about giving, sharing, learning and empathy. I'm so honored to be a part of this movie and the song which again reminds us that change is the only constant factor."
Inspired by a true story (Sarfraz Manzoor's Greetings from Bury Park: Race, Religion and Rock N' Roll) and the words and music of Bruce Springsteen, New Line Cinema's "Blinded By The Light" is the new coming-of-age film directed by Gurinder Chadha ("Bend It Like Beckham"). The film follows Javed (Viveik Kalra), a British teen of Pakistani descent, growing up in Luton, England in 1987. Javed's turbulent life amidst the racial and economic turmoil of the times is transformed when he is introduced to the music of Bruce Springsteen.
