Gosh, I haven't realized how long it's been since I've last came here. Been a tad too busy with work hence the absence.
While work have prevented me from coming over here from time to time, another reason why I chose to keep myself away was because of Blue I knew that many here would have reviewed as well as judged the album to its very finest tune therefore I didn't want to be influenced by the reviews before listening to the tunes myself. Now that I've been energized by the constant hearing of the tunes, here I am with my views on the album. Aaj Dil A cool and suave song! Right from the Oh Yaasa Maa Yaasa (by the chorus) to the sa sa sa sa by Shreya at the end, the song executes a stylish performance. It's a relief to hear Sukhwinder on a cooler tone and Shreya Ghosal all I can say is that she rocked all the way! The sweetness in her voice is coupled with a new-found sexiness. I'm not kidding but hearing to this song, you can almost feeling the breeze brushing against your face the very same breeze which sweeps across you face while driving through the mountains. A cool song-literally! Bhola Thuje Rashid Ali at his best! Though a sad song, it doesn't actually sound like one akin to New York Nagaram of SOK or Nahin Samne of Taal (the feel not the tune) one which brings upon a good feeling to the listeners, the humming and the string instruments at the end sounds enchanting! Chiggy Wiggy Kylie's cheeky voice moulds well with the equally naughty lyrics. The way she goes I wanna chiggy wiggy with you ah ah, baby! Too cute [;)] There's a freshness in this song, which I can't really put into words and the transformation from the western to the bhangra was so dramatic but I was pleasantly surprise to find that both the western music and bhangra blends awfully well here. This song is sure to rock Bollywood for a long time to come! Fiqrana Farhan Akhtar's loss is Vijay prakash's gain! And Vijay has not wasted the given opportunity. The song truly belongs to him. The instrument used in the first interlude, not sure what it is but they just sounded hyper cool! There is a high-speed non-stop track in the song which is so captivating to hear Vijay sound so much like ARR on the second verse or is it just my imagination? Shreya did her part very well despite getting a smaller part here. Rehnuma Seeing Shreya ghosal's name on the credits, I thought that it's going to be either a soft love song or a fast beat folk number. Little did I expect the sudden reformation on her style of singing! The jazz-like start was so refreshing that you can almost feel yourself moving to the slow sexy tune until the Kaatil aada comes! You then find yourself transformed into a new world and when Sonu Nigam comes with Rehnuma, you just had to know that this is one number to watch out for! The string instrument on the first interlude is amazing! While Vijay had Fiqrana to his credit, Shreya had a winner in Rehnuma! Yaar Mila Tha Udit Narayan is always a favourite of ARR, and you will know why through this song. He has a natural flair for folk songs and this one is no exeception. Madhushree seems to have done her part well but her style of singing here reminds me so much of Alka Yagnik. The way she weaves her voice through the music is remarkably sweet and cute. Though the number seems to out of place among all the other stylish numbers, yet it's a sweet little song which never seems to be all wrong. Blue Theme ROCKING in capital! The starting music may remind you of Dhol Dhol from Ayuthe Ezhuthu/Yuva. The tempo zooms in a fast pace and goes on rocking all the way through the chants of Blue. The Punjabi lyrics gives an added boost to the whole theme. But if you think that ARR will remain at this pace, then you are definitely wrong! Brace yourself for the final 40 seconds as ARR brings you on a roller coaster ride with his music arrangements. Definitely a theme one has never heard before! In short, Blue seems to be too great for words! Some might say that it's not ARR's best work. Well, they said the same about Slumdog Millionaire and see what SDM has fetched him! ;) Blue is one of its kind album. You can never compare it with any other albums because there's nothing like it. All you can do is sit back and savor every magical tune of it!
