I am in the US and picked up Ada and JTYJN locally.
Me too. Bought both locally here and am listening to JTYJN now. So far very satisfying, except for the Rahman number, but I am sure that will also sink soon. The orchestration is superb overall. The first two numbers (Kabhi Kabhi and Pappu can't dance) are instantly catchy but their staying power is suspect. More comments later.
to me, thats ar rahman's best attempt at jazz, stunningly amazing, i was playing that song on my phone in office the other day, an this guy who only listens to English music, was like "dude, thats jazz" i was at a distance from him. an he asked me who sings it, i said it was ARR, an he was like "WAT???? thats Tamil?" i said it was Hindi, he was beyond impressed. he actually took my phone an plaid it to him self, an told me it was really good. :DQuote:

Kahin to kahin to is beautiful. I have been unable to get away from it. My better half, who likes to taunt me, says it is a prime candidate for a rip off from a western number. For now, I have taken refuge in the standard disclaimer of "same genre", although I have not much clue of genres. Having said that, I regret to announce here that the bit that goes
jaane na kahan woh duniya hai
jaane na woh hai bhi ya nahin
......
is inspired (total resemblance?) from the guitar bit of the song that goes
AzhagE, unnai, ArAdhanai SeigirEn

This, I guess, is ARR's way of paying tribute to Ilayaraja.

Music of Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na
Next Reviews: Dhoom Dadakka (Movie review) »Rahman strikes the perfect balance between being different and being commercially safe
by Vishal Oberoi
Whenever Aamir Khan and A.R. Rahman have come together, the music has been distinct and experimental ("Lagaan", "The Rising"), and of historic proportions. Some of it worked, and some didn't, because the elasticity of the experiment is usually calmed by commercial confines.
"JTYJN" isn't afraid to experiment, but luckily, it's targeted at an audience that dares to be different - the college crowd. It's a young and peppy soundtrack that has significant shades of Rang De Basanti, as well as clear influences from Rahman's ongoing theatrical work on London's West End.
"Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi" features lead vocals by Rahman's new find, Rashid Ali, who has been his lead guitarist for most of his recent world tours. Behind the mic, Rashid's warm vocals, which fit the bill of the young and have the fresh aura that the movie has created around itself, take centrestage as the song is comparatively lower on background instrumentation.
"Pappu Can't Dance" brings the unorthodox genius of Abbas Tyrewala and A.R. Rahman together in a must-hear, musical mélange of madness. Barring all the controversy around it, which could only help step up its impending popularity, the song is trademark ARR who has historically come out trumps, when given a lyrically and conceptually offbeat track ("Rukmani" from "Roja", "Urvasi from Kadhalan"). Featuring a smorgasbord of singers, and a catchy Carnatic classical vocal hook, Pappu is clearly one of Rahman's wackiest creations.
Although there may not be an immediate attraction, the symphonic and melancholic natures of "Jaane Tu Mera Kya Hai" are magnetic; a large part of which is to be attributed to the voice of the relative newcomer, Runa Rizvi. Her voice does tend to get a tad nasal in higher registers, but it only adds to the haunting appeal of this track.
The male version of this track, rendered by Sukhwinder, is more dark and morbid, with a near-theatrical allure to it, with elaborate string orchestral accompaniments. The main melody, which features the movie's title, creates a memorable theme, which is unforgettable and lingers, long after you have heard it.
After the heavy and pensive segment, "Nazrein Milana Nazrein Churana" acts as a respite - a simple, hummable guitar track, which seems to be sung by a group of college friends. Very "Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander".
The experimentalist returns with "Tu Bole Main Boloon", and takes the soundtrack down a different avenue altogether - into the genre of jazz, which is a fairly unfamiliar terrain when it comes to Bollywood. Tyrewala's engaging lyrics, as they talk about two tangential viewpoints, and Rahman's inimitable coarse vocals create an experience that is beyond words.
Finally, Rashid Ali returns to the mic, accompanied by Vasundhara Das, for "Kahin To Hogi", a gentle love ballad that brings back memories of Glenn Madeiros.
Balance sheet: Rahman is clearly the Salvador Dali of Indian music, when it comes to the level of experimentation in his compositions, constantly testing the shock absorbers of his listeners. At times you feel that he pushes the limits of his audience's comprehension and music appreciation (as in his recent "Ada: A Way of Life"), and at other times you feel he has struck the perfect equilibrium between standing out of the crowd and being commercial enough for surefire success. "JYYJN" is a brilliant example of the latter - a balanced chord that only ARR could strike.
RAHMAN IS BACK WITH THE RHYTHMS OF THE 90s. if ADA is a melodic masterpiece. JTYJN is a rhythmic wonder... these songs will reach sky high... i am still in the process of absorbing... still hvnt got the time to just lie down and listen in the midst of the night.
