Bollywood Sounds focuses on the songs of Indian films in their historical; social; commercial; and cinematic contexts. Author Jayson Beaster-Jones takes readers through the highly collaborative compositional process; highlighting the contributions of film directors; music directors (composers); lyricists; musicians; and singers in song production. Through close musical and multimedia analysis of more than twenty landmark compositions; Bollywood Sounds illustrates how the producers of Indian film songs have long mediated a variety of musical styles; instruments; and performance practices to create a uniquely cosmopolitan music genre. As an exploration of the music of seventy years of Hindi films; Bollywood Sounds provides long-term historical insights into film songs and their musical and cinematic conventions in ways that will appeal both to scholars and to newcomers to Indian cinema.
