4.0 stars out of 5 Music by AR Rahman Lyrics by Abbas Tyrewala, Mayur Puri, Raqeeb Alam Aaj Dil (5:29) - Vocals by Shreya Ghoshal, Sukhvinder Singh The opening track of Blue is truly unique. AR Rahman's composition is completely unpredictable and that is its biggest USP. I think it's a spectacular track with interesting music arrangements and refreshing vocals by Shreya Ghoshal and Sukhvinder Singh. Ghoshal is outdoing herself with every new song! Bhoola Tujhe (5:27) - Vocals by Rashid Ali Bhoola Tujhe is simple, yet so grand. Abbas Tyrewala's lyrics are wonderful and Rahman, as usual, infuses his composition with deep emotions. Rashid Ali does full justice to this soulful track. Chiggy Wiggy (5:12) - Vocals by Kylie Minogue, Sonu Nigam Chiggy Wiggy will be a big hit with Kylie Minogue fans and that's enough for Blue to create considerable hype in the West. Personally, I'm not a fan of Kylie's pop music but her unusual duet with Sonu Nigam doesn't sound too bad. I Wanna Chiggy Wiggy! Rehnuma (4:25) - Vocals by Shreya Ghoshal, Sonu Nigam Rehnuma is infectious..the Neela Samandar crescendo does the trick. Rahman's tune is charmingly sinister and Ghoshal-Nigam's singing is of the highest order. Creepy, thrilling and romantic - Rehnuma defines the crux of Blue. Fiqrana (5:25) - Vocals by Vijay Prakash, Shreya Ghoshal Fiqrana is fun and breezy. This one's packed with youthful energy. It's amazing what Rahman can do with every single musical instrument - give Fiqrana a listen, you'll know what I mean! Yaar Mila Tha (4:29) - Vocals by Madhushree, Ujjaiyinee Roy, Udit Narayan Yaar Mila Tha is an enjoyable song, but definitely not Rahman's best. Udit Narayan and Madhushree sound very fresh and Ujjaiyinee Roy's backing vocals saves the track from mediocrity. Narayan tries a bit of hip-hop towards the end and that's the most entertaining part of the entire song! Way to go! Blue Theme (3:56) - Vocals by Blaaze, Raqeeb Alam, Sonu Kakkar, Jaspreet Singh, Neha Kakkar, Dilshad Four minutes of pure adrenaline pleasure. If you enjoyed Rahman's Yuva, you'll love the Blue theme. The energy of this track will be phenomenal with the underwater visuals. FINAL VERDICT: AR Rahman meets high expectations with Blue. The soundtrack offers a little something for everyone. Highly recommended.
