Music has been an inspiring part of a movie beginning from the emergence of the cine industry. Back to the days when there was no voice track, films still hold up with the help of music as its backbone. It’s quite obvious that the great actor Charlie Chaplin’s first two movies were taken without any dialogues`, and yet they were successful despite the voice track. Those silent films with no synchronized recorded track entertained many audiences. This happens when music fills the space between the characters.

I always remember my father describing his childhood, where he used to go to the theater just to listen to Illayaraja’s songs. During Annakilli times, when llayaraya sir’s songs stirred up the movie, music hits the roof of the Tamil cinema industry. Many movies not only in Kollywood including Bollywood and sandalwood Music is ruling the industry. This has been a type of promotion method to attract the audience to the movie.

The act of releasing the soundtrack first, before the movie is being released is actually a good tactic way to promote the movie standards. I also have a set of people telling me about A.R Rahman’s first project ROJA, where his music is still ruling the industry. Therefore, Music is a core enigma to the films, once this music gets fixed to the audience the file has its flow through it.

Finally, let’s hop on to the best five reasons to give away your film’s soundtrack for free:

·         You could easily reach a set of audience within a short period of time.

·         When your songs are good enough they go in a repeat mode in-between the audience and people play, play, and replay the song. The songs get the movie title to connect to the respective audience and help in movie promotion.

·         When people are ultimately bonded to the music, they become a supporter or follower of the movie indirectly without any need of watching the trailer of the movie.

·         This will happen when many blogs and websites make your way towards the movie with the songs as a baseline.
