Jab Tak Hai Jaan (Music review), Hindi – A R Rahman
Challa is every bit Rahman as far as the free-flowing, slow-burning tune is concerned, despite the Punjabi, and the phonetic similarity of the key word to Rabbi’s Bulla; Keba Jeremiah’s guitars work almost like the 2nd voice in the song! Saans, the possible mouth-to-mouth resuscitation anthem, sees Rahman performing the challenging task of straddling his sensibilities with Yash Raj’s; he does pretty well layering the tuneful melody with gorgeous violins and the dholak. The title song isn’t fully lucky as Rahman tries the fusion again, but, with its sentiment-overload, it works partly and loses steam half-way. Heer runs completely out of luck in the same attempt. Shreya’s slower Saans reprise brings out the tune more beautifully, while crafty use of Oud and Mandolin add exotica to Ishq shava, an otherwise simplistic, catchy tune. Neeti Mohan sounds confident in the super spritely Jiya re, with fantastic support from Chandresh Kudwa’s guitar. Ranjit Barot’s drums rule over Ishq dance, a strictly-background’ish track that gains some solid edge as the chorus kicks in. The poem‘s orchestration are lovely and help alleviate the tedium caused by Aditya Chopra’s dated verses. Rahman brings his own sound to Yash Raj and the result is largely impressive.
Keywords: Yash Chopra, A R Rahman, Shah Rukh Khan, Jab Tak Hai Jaan, #200

I'm desperately trying to block out the negativity but no matter whatever website I go to, there's the odd clown dishing out inappropriate jokes.
Dear haters, please can you just move on! I'm trying very hard not to read other comments but my will power is kinda letting me down. If I was just stuck in this album without reading other views then I would've rated this album as Rahman Ji's best album. Obviously, it's my personal preference and not hyperbole without any thoughts but after reading other comments I've been influenced but I feel I shouldn't be. The only backfiring factor against this album is it's engineering and yes there is a high treble as pointed out by someone otherwise musically this is overall stronger than many of Rahman Ji's albums (put together).
I think the problem is that people are not listening to the album and they are only listening to expectations. I say, forget analysis and just enjoy it for what it is not what you want it to be and by expectations I mean DDLJ, DTPH, VZ i.e. the likes of Udit, Lata, Kumar Sanu, Sonu, Alka, etc. or any album by Rahman Ji. I still feel Rahman Ji hasn't compromised and instead composed what he likes more than delivering Yash Raj Sound (which is there but less in comparison to his own conventions)
My prediction is that the songs will pick up like crazy when the film releases until then I will defend the album to any extent!

Addicted to Heer and the title track :musicsmile:

jiya re and ishq shava on repeat mode......AR tries to break away from the YRF clamps but manages only a bit - a curbed AR after a long time.......even in Endhiran, he went ballistic.....
i can imagine while composing, AR would have given a tune that keeps flowing without any cycles, YR would have cut him and said "yen shoulder-a ethhura, erakku, erakku" :-D

JTHJ has changed me from a devout music fan to an extreme ARR fanatic! I don't know if this change is for the better or worse? Whatever it may be, I don't think I can afford to listen to another composer with an open mind for sometime now.
