lue – Smashing Fiesta for Rahman buffs
You’ll go wordless and to the extreme – speechless… Yeah! Here comes the
biggest Dhamaka from academy award winner. The stunning tunes leave you out in
abundant invigorations. What an extraordinary spell by Rahman? Distinctly, this
is gonna be the best musical album of the year.
CHIGGY WIGGY – Right mix of ‘West -n- Bhangra’
SINGERS: KYLIE MINOGUE, SONU NIGAM & SUZANNE
LYRICS: ABBAS TYREWALA
You no need any introduction about this song. It has already haunted the entire
town with ‘Chiggy-wiggy’ mania. What makes the song sound special? The
wonderful mix of western-n-Bhangra style makes it happen. The song get-goes
with Kylie Minogue’s English lines and later with the coalescing touch of
Bhangra touch. The singers just sweep you out with their magniloquent
intonations, especially Kylie. The sound orchestration is mind-boggling as you
heed over it on your hi-fi surround systems.
BLUE THEME – Adrenaline-pumping
SINGERS: BLAAZE, RAQEEB AALAM, SONU KAKKAR, JASPREET SINGH, NEHA KAKKAR, DILSHAD
PUNJABI LYRICS: SUKWINDER SINGH
HINDI LYRICS: RAQUEEB ALAM
Lagtha Hai, Rahman has sprang-up with a special attraction for ‘Punjabi’
factors. As in the previous number, this signature rap song has it all with an
apposite mix. Just look into the singers and lyricists and you can patently
envisage the stylized tune much before heeding to it. Incisively, it’s sure to
surmount your expectations. Play it million times and you’ll get transfixed
listening to it more over again.
AAJ DIL – Sensuously tuned
SINGERS: SHREYA GHOSHAL, SUKHWINDER SINGH
LYRICS : MAYUR PURI
Well, if you’re an ardent buff of Rahman, here’s the best attributes that’ll
bring you the right guess even without the label ‘BLUE’. The fast-rolling song
penned by Mayur Puri has heavy chord works on guitar followed by ‘Latin
Rock-fangled notes on fortepianos. It’s much evident that only Rahman is much
glued to such patterns. Totting up, you’ve the typical ‘Bass-n-beats’ eclipsing
your senses. On the vocalisms, it’s a rare combo of Sukwindher on his husky
tone and Shreya Ghosal, the melodious voice. The songs would really do much
better once viewed on the screens.
BHOOLA TUJHE – Breezy touch on parts
SINGERS: RASHID ALI
LYRICS : ABBAS TYREWALA
The most highlighting part with this musical album is awesomely orchestrated
instrumentations and roping in best singers. Much unparalleled to the previous
numbers, ‘Bhoola Tujhe’ is a breezy number crooned by Rashid Ali. His ability
to intonate towards various octaves with an ease makes it sound perfect. More
than all, the running notes on stringed instruments embellishes. As in other
songs, there’s continuous striking of guitar chords accompanied with Cello on
base touch pulls the song behind the norms of what actually a best melody would
sound.
REHNUMA – Enchanting lyrics
SINGERS: SHREYA GHOSHAL, SONU NIGAM
LYRICS : ABBAS TYREWALA
Suno, Sunthe Jaao and you will just remain mesmerized with best coalesces of
melodic tune and apt vocals. More on parts, it reminds us off Rahman’s previous
tunes as ‘Hey Kudhaafiz ‘Yuva’ (‘Hey Goodbye Nanba – Aayitha Ezhthu) as the
tempo and stylized rhythms keep shifting on parts. As in other song, the
brilliant visuals would gradually enrich the song’s touchstone. Shreya Ghosal
and Sonu Nigam have proved of adeptness on their ducky melody.
YAAR MILA THA – Soothing Duet
SINGERS: UDIT NARAYAN, MADHUSHREE & UJJAYINEE ROY
Thusly, it’s a song above mediocre amongst the other numbers. Per chance, it
enhances the ‘attraction quotients’ as we keep heeding to it. Rahman’s touch is
much revealing with innovative fill-ins. The beats don’t hop-skip into
different levels throughout the show.
As whole, ‘BLUE’ is something out-of-blue when it comes to the musical scenario
of Rahman. Of course, he has spelled distinguished tunes. On the dot, this is a
fantabulous piece of work from the academy award winner. With couple of
versions grounded with English based lyrics, the international audiences are
sure to get casted with Rahamania.
