[Friday, May 30, 2008] The music of ADA comes as a breath of fresh
air. There is everything one can wish for in a complete music album romantic
duets, the pain of separation, the heart rendering cry of a questioning soul,
the playfulness of youth - every mood, every sound, and each word captured in
an enchanting experience.
Born out of passion of Tanveer Ahmad (producer and director), comes a story
of love, passion, justice, need, sacrifice, suffering. Ayaan Ahmad & Nauheed
Cyrusi have given powerful performances as the main protagonists.
The album opens with Ishq Ada Hai. The male version has been crooned by
Rashid Ali who seems to Rahmans favourite for now making his presence felt in
Rahmans Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na too. The track is very much unlike Rahman with
intensifying vocals and guitar interludes. The track has s sufi touch to it and
isnt Rahmans finest of the album, yet keeps you tuned.
The female version brings in another newcomer Parul Mishra in her complete
innocence carrying the lyrics forward. The voice is refreshing and draws you to
the soulful expression of emotions. The female version indeed over rules the
male version.
Hawa Sun Hawa mesmerizes you right from the start with Alka Yagniks
humming. The melodious track reaches the splendid status with Sonu Nigamsvoice
and the flute work. The track is complte srene , feel good number with Rahmans
stamp all over it.
Gumsum brings in Sonu and Alka once again for a number that is more on the
peppier side ccarrying the grandeur feel often associated with Yash Chopra
films. The track is sweet and romantic enough to reignite that romance from
within.
Gulfisha brings in well orchestrated music. The track has been crooned by
Sonu and Sunidhi Chauhan. The track truly belongs to Sunidhi who carries the
sleek genre of the track. The track does remind us of a few compositions from
Rangeela.
Rahman finally steps into the vocals with Meherbaan a soft, smooth, highly
romantic track .Rahmans voice enhanced by the lyrics brings in complete
serenity. This track is no doubt the finest of the album. The instrumental
version of the track too is splendid.
Tu Mera Hai opens with the melodious voice of Chitra on a high note. Chitra
who has been away from the Hindi playback circuit impresses with this
passionate track. The obsession theme of the track is further brought out by
Sukwinder Singh who does his bit to raise the tempo after his contribution to
Rahmans Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na album.
Hai Dard brings in Udit Narayan to a deeply remorseful track. The track
which carries the theme of separation fails to make a mark and is averagely
sounding.
Milo wahan wahan calls for deep attention towards the lyrics. The track
brings in the melodious Alka Yagnik but moreover brings in a name very much
popular on the southern front-Jayachandran. Jayachandran croons to excellence
to a Hindi number and soon draws you close to serenity.
To conclude, ADA brings immense talent with the voices of Udit Narayan, Sonu
Nigam, Alka Yagnik, A R Rahman, Chitra, Sukhwinder Singh, Sunidhi Chauhan,
Rashid Ali & Richa Sharma romances with Nusrat Badrs lyrics. The film has 10
songs that caters to various moods and promises some great compositions.
Rating : ***1/2
