Hello ,
I am usually a silent reader in this group , but for the first time i
decided to send out a review of the songs of guru in the group. enough of
the intro , so let me start with the summary of the album.
Summary:
A.R.Rahman, the man has grown from a vibrant young musical genius in Roja
to a musical god in Guru. The songs in my perspective are some of the best
ARR has ever composed, why ??, it is truly original for starters(no mix or
hint of prev tunes). The usage of a wide variety of instruments is growing
to a considerable extent in Rahman's tunes, hope he keeps introducing more
groundbreaking tunes and instruments not used in repetitive Indian film
music.
Song 1-
Jage Hain - I personally was looking forward to hear this song. It starts
of with a very soft but tuned recite of the lyrics by Chitra with some
orchestra violin and strong base cello in the background. ARR's voice slowly
blends in with the cello , i should say the first recite of the lyrics by
ARR is as soft as one can get after which he sings the same lyrics in a high
pitch , the madras chorus group pitches in with thier recitation. Overall
for me this is the highlight of the album, it sets the right tone for the
movie and a very inspiring usage of the orchestra skills.
Song 2-
Tere Bina - The humming of :Dhum dara Dhum Dara" was already in our lips
even before the album came out. The music has got some wonderful lyrics and
gets you calm after the riveting Jage Hain song. Special mention to
Chinmayee , my first impression when i heard her peice in this song was "
Wow, what a voice to have". This is the first time i heard her and trust me
her voice has really worked wonders with ARR's for this song. Another
special mention is that ARR has dedicated this song to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
- in the album cover.
Song 3-
Ek Harirathey - A top class blend of Ghazal. The catchy
" Dham Dara DHam Dara" is once again thrown into this song for the kicks
of it. . Hariharan's voice and pitch sounds like magic. Special mention
about Prasad on the tabla , really good.
Song 4
Ek Lo Ek Muft- Well, let me be frank about this song, i think has not
done justice to the amount of hype it created. Having said that, let me keep
me mind that the director of this film is a guy capable of projecting a
donkey like a horse on the big screen, the visuals might justify this song.
Let us wait and see.
Song 5
Bazi Laga- A short description of this song
Kind of fast paced, good tune, I guess having Mallika Sherawat dance for
this would justify the songs pace and tune. But a good song to listen to it
.
Song 6
Barso Re- A great rendition of flute to start of with . Since we know
that this is a song picturized on Aishwarya in rain , the beat might just
give your foot a little exercise with the foot tapping you would do while
listening to this.
Well there you have it, my humble on this album. Before i stop let me tell
you my review is only my humble opinion . I have not hyped the songs even to
a little extent.
Thanks
