Subject: [arr] My detailed thoughts on Jaane Tu
When I first finished listening to Jaane Tu, the feeling I had was
similar to a feeling of going outdoors on a cool autumn day here in
the US and feeling the fresh, cool breeze on my face and tasting the
crsip air, or the enjoyment and invigorating feeling of a fresh,
cool, sweet drink on a hot summer day.
What a feeling after listening to Jaane Tu! It helps me to look at
our world with more innocence and wonder and reminds me of my college
days. Music wise, it's so wonderful to hear ARR compose such a youth
oriented soundtrack that is so invigorating, sweet, fresh, nad
contemporary. RDB, Boys, and Yuva were also youth oriented
soundtracks, but the difference this time was with the crystal clear
sound production in Jaane Tu, more emphasis on melody and less dancy
hip hop, and an overwhelming sweetness to the listening experience.
Each song has a special place and is very unique with again, great
flow in the album. I still don't favor Pappu and remix Pappu, but I
can see why many who like such songs would enjoy these two and Rahman
has done a good job musically with the rhythms and evoking a sense of
humor with these two tracks. I really hope more people can start
talking about the title song sung by Rahman with its jazzy, swing
rhythms because I think it's one of the most briliiant, light
hearted, uplifting, and soothing tracks from ARR recently. As a
friend pointed out, "Don't worry be happy" comes to mind with this
one! Now who else can think of composing such a track in such a
jazzy mode???? Conceptually, it's so out of the box and
mindblowingly original for a bollywood song!!!! His voice range in
this song is so well suited and has done a great job in fitting the
lyrics with the off beat jazz rhythms and with a great title sung
melody that really sticks to you. It's so stylish and fun and
sweeet! What a beauty of a melody in Kahin To and both Jaane Tu Mera
and Meri offer so much in the way of sentiments and breath-taking
music that is well contrasted. I love the duduk again in
Sukhwinder's song and the string arrangements are just fabulous!
Kabhi Kabhi Aditi is one of the most addictive and catchy songs ever
by Rahman and I just love use of flute in this song with soaring
string arrangements in the antara with high octaves!!!! HATS OFF TO
ARR! I BOW TO THEE!!!!!!!
