Heer is a beauty.
Best of the album and i don't see it changing.
The reason for getting mixed reviews is tis audio is coming after Rockstar frm ARR...
Most of us thinking 'Rockstar' is lifetime album, the expectaion on JTHJ will be automatically raised...
bt the expectation meet pannitcha'nu ketta, illathan sollanum..
if tis album came before Rockstar, u would nt disappoint... bt v r hearing nw after Rockstar, so sumwat disappointed...:(
Heer and challa are really good. But, other songs are skip-worthy even after repeated listenings.
Rahman Ji has catered for YRF fans first, but saying that I still truly believe that this is just a YRF album only on surface level and after digging deep. all the nuances we love hearing in Rahman Ji's other material are all there. Just be patient, someone of us listeners have probably already deciphered them.
When he experiments, we are patient and even though there are many conventional sounds heard in this album, the experimentation is equally as great. I feel the same about Jab Tak Hai Jaan as I do about Taal because Taal's title track also brought about a nostalgic familiar tune when I first heard it. If a tune is familiar and reminds you of another song then that's no reason to be put off of it. It's not just tunes we're here for, it's emotions and this is the soaring point in every song here.
When Rahman Ji songs don't click with us they become chart busters and when they do click with us they still become chart busters. Either way he still will be likely to walk away with an award this year!
On initial hearing, I liked the title track the most but at work today, in the morning I was humming "Saans" while my afternoon was taken over by "Ishq Shava".
I was disappointed when I read Rahman Ji hasn't sung a single song, but was happy to hear him during the end of "Ishq Shava". Rahman Ji usually sings scratch versions and in "Jiya Re" this is very evident as Neeti Mohan almost sounds like a female Rahman Ji lol Celtic arrangements towards the end take the song to another platform altogether.
With "Heer" I feel the Punjabi sound has been nailed. Unlike other Bollywood Punjabi numbers, this doesn't seem like an imitation. The "Rooh" i.e. the spirit of Punjab is highly intact so again emotional quotient is greater than music here. When there's Punjabis like me who are listening to more and more South Indian music, Rahman Ji, a Thamizhan is reflecting the soul of Punjab with great compositions like Man Chandre, Thaiya Thaiya, Taal Se Taal, Ranjha Ranjha, Katiya Karun, etc and though the arrangements don't express it I think Challa also deserves to belong in this list.
The Instrumental piece "Ishq Dance" is in the league of "Beat of Passion" if not greater!
Whether you agree or not, I've become so attached to Rahman Ji's music that I can't see any other composer in the same light even if I wanted to.
It's more like an Yash Chopra album than an ARR one.
Oh My Goodness! I cannot explain the awesomeness of Heer and the amazing voice of Harshdeep Kaur! Stuck on this song....
