My picks too at the moment. I have to admit though, I didn't like most of the songs on the first few listens!

ARR pushes away from orthodox arrangements with every album & sometimes it takes time to catch up. Sometimes I wonder if non-fans will give it the time it deserves.

However, the song I can't stand at the moment is Chiggy Wiggy. Seems like a wasted opportunity.

There are some musicians who turn out to be one-time wonders. There are some who have a fluctuating career graph – all the time. There are some, who, after getting the required fame, forget how to compose. And there are some who have a never-say-die-attitude, and always compose with passion and hard work, something that strikes gold and pays rich dividends every time their album releases. Unfortunately, composers in the fourth and last group are rare to find in the music industry. something that strikes gold and pays rich dividends every time their album releases.

:yes:

"Sometimes I wonder if non-fans will give it the time it deserves"

its a nice way of saying the songs sucks and the only way to hope is to give it a listen perhaps a 100 times and hope that it will grow on you....very pathetic.

For this Chiggy song why the hell go all the way and get poor Kyle....even any woman in India wearing 'Kaili' would have suffice. I suppose she did not mind it as she had already gone thro worse with cancer. And what's with the choice of Udit???? goodness

Most songs just moves with meaningless beats without any clue of a tune or melody. And sadly here people are raving about it as experimentation???

When an album is so crabby....even true fans will feel the pinch, but of course they have to pretend otherwise as usual and keep saying it rocks!!! etc etc

Blue is a must Buy!

The highly-anticipated music of Blue is finally out and it doesn’t disappoint. It is the first time that A.R. Rahman has composed for an action thriller, for Ashtavinayak (Pritam is their favourite) and a first-time director (Anthony D’Souza).


From what we have seen on TV, Blue seems to be Rahman’s most commercial score but when you listen to it, some of it is classic Rahman and some songs don’t even sound like A.R.Rahman. The album is full of surprises and very fresh. You wouldn’t expect an action thriller to have such fresh tuneful, sometimes unusual, romantic songs with meaningful lyrics. It’s an you must take seriously. Only Rahman can make you do that. The album also has an oceanic feel to it. You are transported to the beaches of the Bahamas when you listen to it and imagine what the videos will be like. The seven songs pack in a lot of variety and no two songs sound alike. Hip-hop, reggae, bhangra, and soft rock are among the genres. The album is a must buy. The Blue Theme, Chiggy Wiggy are instant favourites and Rehnuma is the gem of the album. Aaj Dil Gustakh and Fiqrana are equally good. You may not like the album the first time you hear it but listen to it a few more times and you will love it.

Pop star Kylie Minogue’s innocently sexy vocals open Chiggy Wiggy. It’s a hip-hop track that makes you want to chiggy wiggy with Kylie. However, Sonu’s enthusiastic Hindi vocals spoil the song a little bit. But that was required because then the song would have been only in English, limiting its appeal and reach. So the bhangra bit has been added for a wider appeal. It’s unlike a Rahman song and yet quite nice, catchy and danceable. Maybe there should have been a solo Kylie Chiggy Wiggy number too.

Aaj Dil Gustakh Hai is helmed by Shreya Ghoshal and Sukhwinder Singh. With the piano, flute and guitar, it has a laidback yet playful and naughty feel, perfect for the beach. The instrumentation is wonderful. The tune sounds familiar yet fresh and is instantly likeable. Shreya doesn’t sound as sweet as she usually does and that is great. A drunk-sounding Sukhwinder complements her perfectly.

Fiqrana may take a while getting used to. Vijay Prakash sounds like Kunal Ganjawala and is quite a find. Shreya Ghoshal sounds sexy. The song sounds like an echo and also has a Sufi, spiritual and intoxicated vibe to it. The more you listen to it, the more you will like it.

Rahman brings Rashid Ali (of Aditi and Kahin Toh fame) back with Bhoola Tujhe. And that makes you glad. It’s a ballad. The instrumentation is lovely and the song is soothing, even if it is played on full volume.

The Blue Theme is mind-blowing. It will wake you up on a lazy day and/or give you goosebumps. Genres like rock, bhangra and hip hop have been fused together beautifully. It has an international feel and lyrics that are hard to understand. It is haunting and you could listen to it all day. An absolute must-listen on repeat! There are a bunch of singers like Neha and Sonu Kakkar, Blaaze, Raqeeb Alam and Jaspreet Singh who croon Bul-loo instead of Blue. Rahman is an expert when it comes to multiple singers (remember Pappu Can’t Dance and Nazrein Milana) used them like only he can.

Beautiful is one word that best describes Rehnuma. Shreya Ghoshal is at her seductive best since Jaadu Hai Nasha Hai and shares sizzling chemistry with Sonu Nigam. The song which sounds like The World is not enough by Garbage. It isn’t a copy though, only the vibe is similar. It’s like an ocean, at times calm and viciously wild and angry at other times. Amazing!

The album ends with Yaar Mila Tha which reunites Udit Narayan with Madhushree after Hum Hai Iss Pal Yahaan from Kisna. This song is raunchy though, like Shabba Shabba Hai Rabba from Daud. The song has a hip-hop, reggae feel; like music you would hear on the beach. It’s something you can easily sway to. Nice and naughty.

Rating: 4.5 on 5

I see that majority of yours posts are in IR sub forum. There is this particular post of yours:

Jegan Mohini is another great offering from the great IR!!!

All 5 songs are unique and beautifully composed with so much energy and youthfullness.....I can only feel sorry for those who have lost their senses to not be able to appreciate such songs....

Take that last line as our reply to you and stop wasting time in this thread.

Oh, sorry HJ, unggala tappA nenachuttEn... :(
Avar vEroru camp-nu clarify panna Guess-Me-ku nandri hai... :)
