Hey Din, You said, "the lack usage of carnatic raagam is the sole fact of his lack of soulfulness albums nowadays". Now I will interpret that as you thinking that nothing that ARR has created recently has soul, am I correct? If you miss Carnatic raagas, that I can understand, but please do check out the flute continuum raaga ending of Rehna Tu from D6 when you can.
I'm just curious here, but do you feel the following recent songs by ARR lack soul? Starting from Guru: Tere Bina Aye Hairathe Aashiqui Jaage Hain Jashne Bahaar Khwaja Mere Khwaja Man Mohanna In Lamhon Ke Daaman Jashne Bahaar Instrumental Khwaja Instrumental Jaane Tu Mere Kya Tha (Sukhwinder version) Meherbaan Mile Wahaan Wahaan Ishq Ada Hai (male and female) Hawa Sun Hawa Muskura Tu Meri Dost Zindagi Dil Ka Rishta Man Mohiney More Kaise Mujhe Kaise Mujhe Instrumental Dil Gira Dafatan Rehna Tu Masakli Marudhani Arziyan Man Chandre Silent Invocations Mosquito Himalaya Kural Mylapore Blues Dreams on Fire Latika's Theme Jason and Cynthia Suite Intervention Undress Sajna Kurukuru Kan Salvadore Waterfall Animal Spirits Jason and Cynthia Piano Theme Arya Atmosphere Opening Tango Waltz If you do think all of these songs lack soul, then I have very little more to comment.
