It has already haunted the entire town with ‘Chiggy-wiggy’ mania. What makes the song sound special? The wonderful mix of western-n-Bhangra style makes it happen.

AAJ DIL – Sensuously tuned SINGERS: SHREYA GHOSHAL, SUKHWINDER SINGH LYRICS : MAYUR PURI Well, if you’re an ardent buff of Rahman, here’s the best attributes that’ll bring you the right guess even without the label ‘BLUE’. The fast-rolling song penned by Mayur Puri has heavy chord works on guitar followed by ‘Latin Rock-fangled notes on fortepianos. It’s much evident that only Rahman is much glued to such patterns. Totting up, you’ve the typical ‘Bass-n-beats’ eclipsing your senses. On the vocalisms, it’s a rare combo of Sukwindher on his husky tone and Shreya Ghosal, the melodious voice. The songs would really do much better once viewed on the screens. BHOOLA TUJHE – Breezy touch on parts SINGERS: RASHID ALI LYRICS : ABBAS TYREWALA The most highlighting part with this musical album is awesomely orchestrated instrumentations and roping in best singers. Much unparalleled to the previous numbers, ‘Bhoola Tujhe’ is a breezy number crooned by Rashid Ali. His ability to intonate towards various octaves with an ease makes it sound perfect. More than all, the running notes on stringed instruments embellishes. As in other songs, there’s continuous striking of guitar chords accompanied with Cello on base touch pulls the song behind the norms of what actually a best melody would sound. REHNUMA – Enchanting lyrics SINGERS: SHREYA GHOSHAL, SONU NIGAM LYRICS : ABBAS TYREWALA Suno, Sunthe Jaao and you will just remain mesmerized with best coalesces of melodic tune and apt vocals. More on parts, it reminds us off Rahman’s previous tunes as ‘Hey Kudhaafiz ‘Yuva’ (‘Hey Goodbye Nanba – Aayitha Ezhthu) as the tempo and stylized rhythms keep shifting on parts. As in other song, the brilliant visuals would gradually enrich the song’s touchstone. Shreya Ghosal and Sonu Nigam have proved of adeptness on their ducky melody. YAAR MILA THA – Soothing Duet SINGERS: UDIT NARAYAN, MADHUSHREE & UJJAYINEE ROY Thusly, it’s a song above mediocre amongst the other numbers. Per chance, it enhances the ‘attraction quotients’ as we keep heeding to it. Rahman’s touch is much revealing with innovative fill-ins. The beats don’t hop-skip into different levels throughout the show. As whole, ‘BLUE’ is something out-of-blue when it comes to the musical scenario of Rahman. Of course, he has spelled distinguished tunes. On the dot, this is a fantabulous piece of work from the academy award winner. With couple of versions grounded with English based lyrics, the international audiences are sure to get casted with Rahamania.
