http://aksharasangeetham.blogspot.com/ No Man's Land (Guru Music Review: Part III) Recently, A.R. Rahman (ARR) has started singing significant portions of his compositions. I am clueless as to why this is happening. Hypothetically, "Tere Bin" would have been an above-average song if (and that's a big if) ARR would not have attempted to sing it. It is a melodious folk tune, requiring very special vocal talents. Probably Sonu Nigam or Hariharan would have taken the song to new heights. I will give you a specific example. Listen to the first interlude, when ARR sings swaras. My ears could not stand such a casual singing of notes. A singer with a lot of talent wouldhave to sweat to sing those swaras. Knowing that, what prompted ARR to sing it? Overall, the song has a folkish feel. There is nothing new or surprising in the song to write about..................
