Ada - Music Review May 20th, 2008Related|Filed Under
For Rahman this will be a big year..he has many releases this year
hes
teaming up with Subhash Ghai after Taal
hes already gave good compositions for
the film Jodha Akbhar
and now he released his very own album called Ada which
includes singers like Rashid Ali, Sonu Nigam, Alka Yagnik, Sunidhi Chauhan,
Viviane Chaix, Chitra, Sukhwinder Singh, Naresh Iyer, Udit Narayan, Parul
Mishra & Jayachandran
WOW
So many names lol.
Ada (Male Version) - The title song
starts off very well
with a man singing
sord of like Rahman
his voice reminds me of Rahman Saab himself
but its not
Rahman
its Rashid..never heard of him
maybe a new guy whos gotten a chance to
sing for the great maestro. Rashid does a well job
its a song I will have to
get use to
and I know I will like it once I do get used to it
the chorus is
catchy. There are compositions that Rahman makes will you will instantly fall
in love with
then there many which you will have to get used to
but once you do
then you realize how great his work is.
Hawa Sun Hawa - This time Rahman uses Alka
wow no Shreya
but Alka
nice to see
her in this song
she is brilliant here
She doesnt sound stale like she has in
past few songs
she sounds fresh and very young. This one is a lovely, soft,
feel-good song that I can really relate to. Watch out for the flutes in the
middle
amazing work by Rahman. Lyrics are fire and Sonu as usual does great.
Just close your eyes and get swept away by this great composition.
Gum Sum - Hmmm
this doesnt sound like a Rahman composition at all
kind of
ordinary tunes and beats here
Sonu and Alka are back
they are just ok this time
around
its a upbeat number with good lyrics. This is a weaker number from the
lot of songs in this album.
Gulfisha - Ohhhhhhh
Rahman used Sunidhi
wow
has he ever used her for a song
before
I dont think so
Sunidhi shines
her presence in this song makes Sonu
look like he isnt even there
beautifully sung
this composition has no genre
man
this is what I like about Rahman
his songs are hard to describe and
explain
sometimes hes all over the place in one song
sord of like Bolo Guru,
Bolo Hoga Kya
thats how he works here in this song
all over the place
but
tremendous beats man. Hats off to Sunidhi for sounding so powerful.
Meherbaan - BEAUTIFUL
..OHHHHHHHH SHITTTTTTTTT
CAN IT GET ANY BETTER THAN
THIS MAN
and whos behind the mic
Rahman himself
amazing lyrics
love this mans
range
just absolutely adore his voice
this is probably the strongest song in
this entire album. Rahman turns down the volume here when it comes to
background score
everything is smooth
and he lets the lyrics and his voice do
the work.
Tu Mera Hai - Chitra starts this song off with her high notes
shes a delight
to hear
I havent heard her for ages so it was nice to listen to her again
this
is practically her song
she carries it with Sukhwinder lending support. This is
a great, dark, serious song that is very catchy as well. I didnt need any time
getting used to this track
I liked it from get go.
Hai Dard - This song sounds like something from the 60s or 70s
its a slow
sad song
Udit does ok here
deep lyrics here
its not a song that I would repeat
though. Its something Id listen to once and forget.
Ada (Female Version) - Similar to the male version
this time Rahman lets
Parul Mishra sing
new voice
never heard of her before
.she does well
has a nice
voice
she doesnt sound like Shreya nor Sunidhi
has a complete different
voice
a voice that suits situational tracks in my opinion. Overall, good
song
just got to get used to it like the male version.
Milo Wahan Wahan - Nice background music here, the violins and strings are
real effective
this is a mature song with amazing lyrics
this song is more
focussed on AR Rahmans beats and tunes
this is why Rahman is the most
versatile and most impressive indian music director out there at the
moment
this songs proves why. Alka is very good in her low notes
high notes are
kind of screachy in this song
as for the male singer JayaChandran is pure and
unique
there is something about this voice that just stands out
he doesn a damn
fine job. Really liked this song
Rahman ends the album with an impressive track.
Meherbaan and Milo Wahan Wahan are my two favourite tracks in this album.
There are other songs like Ada, Hawa Sun Hawa and Tu Meri Hai which are good
tracks
but I have to give more listens to really adore them. Every reviewer
must get puzzled on how to judge or rate ARahmans music after listening to it
once or twice
you gotta keep listening to his tracks to really find out how
good they are. There are some songs that you instantly praise and some that you
are doubtful about. Nice soft, romantic, depressive, smooth, calm and chiller
album here from Rahman. Its easy on the ears, nice instumentals, nice
compositions. Not the best work ever from Rahman
but good stuff. Lately
Rahmans work can only be called good
not great
not like Dil Se great or Taal
great.
