ஐ - Shankar + Vikram + Amy Jackson + ARR

[ajaybaskar]

Some people have been saying ARR has lost touch since Roja. Let me leave them aside for now. For others who genuinely believe he sounds different/not attractive like his pre 2000 era days, yes, he has evolved and thats why he is still in the race. Haven't we seen giants, who refused to evolve, being thrown out mercilessly?

I can't comment for others but as someone who has followed him for years now, I can say that he continues to surprise me with every new album of his and I believe most Rahmaniacs are with me in this. Yes, there were few duds like LHDD too in the recent past, like Sachin's rare ducks. But albums like Maryan,Kadal,KT and I have impressed me like any ARR album of the past.

And for people who complain about the westernness in ARR albums, I wonder whether they were in coma for the last 22 years. His music has more of western influence and every sane music follower knows it. Why this sudden liking for nativity, god only knows.
