Fiqrana "Vijay Prakash is a true revelation, I can see him going places. It is hard to believe he is the same singer who sang the classical Manmohini morey (Yuvraaj) and later the marvelous Man chandre from Connections" - Isn't Mann Chandre by Sukhwinder Singh? or is Vijay also there? In places he sounds like ARR too which made me realize that perhaps ARR himself would've been a great choice to sing this song. - Well, ARR is the best to sing every song, so no point really undermining the actual singers. Also in places the song gives the feeling of Pakistani pop songs. - Hmm. I have not heard many Pakistani songs, but indeed, this statement has quite some truth on the basis of whatever I have heard from across the borders. Blue Theme - An enjoyable song overall. Loved the beats. The female singer (Sonu Kakkar??) who sings at 2:17 is superb. Great vocals. It is the high point of the song. On the negative side too much "Blooo" is going on. - Seems balooo theme deserves more to be written on many aspects of it. Why did you sort of "brushed it aside"? Yaar Mila Tha - though once again poor effort by Abbas (lyrics). - well, I would say he could give it a story-like feel by the sheer force of lyrics. btw, as this song was folkish and a "two persons talking and teasing", faults of lyrics would have become "features" of this song because people don't expect perfection in casual talks. -- btw, you could also have written about overall impressions or expressions that you might have formed on the basis of whatever you heard about the film, storyline, etc. Does the album live up to that fully, or some conspicuous omissions are there. For example, when Blue is being talked about as an "underwater" film, did you expect that the the music will have an "underwater" feel, everything sounding in slow motion, heavy, wavy, ripply, conical like a fish's eye view, etc., and whether the music catered to any of this or is it an "on-solid-ground" album? -- Well written. It doesn't sound a paid ad by ARR's proxy, as some members writings in the group invariably sound. Thanks for it. -- Rawat -- Rawat > - > Jahanzeb
