BLUE music review

By Vikas Rawat

So one of the most awaited album, BLUE, is out. Another A.R Rahman delight! The songs are from the most diverse genres that can be possible. Here I list all the characteristics of each song, as i felt it when i heard.. BLUE!!

Chiggy Wiggy- I'm guessing this one was made with an intention to be a crowd puller, courtesy Ms.Kylie Minogue. Fans were kinda disappointed when they heard this one, mainly because this was one of the first songs to come on T.V and it seemed very averagish. Definitely made for Kylie, not the way Rahman works. Even the hindi part with the punjabi influence falls flat. Average stuff.

Aaj Dil Gustakh Hai- Without doubt the best song of Blue for me. When i heard this song I immediately got the Rahman essence, with all the awesome chords and the very catchy tune. Sukhwinder and Shreya totally do justice to this BEAUTIFUL song. Look out for the way the tune progresses. The Rahman touch is definitely felt. Some people may take time to like this song, though it was a winner for me from the beginning. And the video rocks too! ;-)

Fiqrana-This was the song which Farhan Akhtar refused to sing(screw him), even on Rahman's behest.I was kinda surprised when i heard this one actually. Coz it was very... hmm.. odd? i cant exactly say what made me sort of surprised to hear this song in a Rahman album. Nonetheless, the song IS very good. Though the voice is heavy with effects, it still sounds very nice.

Bhoola tujhe- A very soulful song sung by Rashid Ali(of Kabhie Kabhie aditi fame). Heart touching lyrics and a beautiful voice. Though the song will SURELY make you remember the very similar track from Jaane Tu.. called Kahin to. Still, a pleasant listen.

Blue theme- ROCKING!! This track is simply awesome!! I love the heavy-duty punjabi vocals and the chorus shouting BLUE! Complete with power beats, nice chorus and a punjabi feel, this track will surely make every one swoon. One of my favourite contenders for the best track Vs aaj dil gustakh hai.

Rehnuma- Totally outta the box. This track has a nice blues kind of theme albeit with strings which remind you of the escape sequence music from Shawshank Redemption. Shreya Ghoshal again proves why she's better than Sunidhi Chauhan and this song takes her singing to all new heights. I'm guessing this is Rahman's personally favorite track. This song is not something that every listener may like but whoever does like it will like it for a very long time.

Yaar mila tha- Definitely the weakest track in the album. Its a monotonously dragging song, though i'm guessing this track will have its own share of fans. The vocals by Udit Narayan and Madhushree is pretty normal. Not the traditional Rahman stuff.

So these are the tracks from Blue as I see it. Though i suggest everyone to experience the album on their own terms and decide. As Rahman sir says.. Drown in the music of BLUE.
