Instead of trying to be the JUDGE of ARR's hardwork as some of us are doing, i will try to look into various reasons which makes ARR's music click always. Do add your points if you have your own reasons / analysis....
1. ARR is constantly trying new Genre for his music as diverse as Spanish (Latin), Arabic, folk, classical,... &.... & . He has not typecasted himself into only one or two genre. 2. His music is layered, multyphonic and not just stereo so everytime I listen the songs, I find something new. He does not follow a fixed pattern, his music is more like Jazz. 3. He gives chance to fresh talent, is not afraid of trying new voice or instruments so each song has a distinct identity and there is no repetitiveness. 4. He works hard on his typical sound "Rahman sound" so whennever I hear even a bit of his song somewhere, there is instant recollection. 5. He is a genuinely talented and humble fellow who minds his own work and stays into his core area of competence. So you don't associate ARR with controversies. 6. He listens to feedback especially from fans and ( I am told ) takes corrective actions if required. 7. His songs ( not all, but most of them ) have a touch of sadness / a hint of melancholy and that is something unique, it makes his music very very special. 8. Being a spiritual person, he structures his music on spirituality and thus it goes straight to heart. What's your view ? Jai HO ! Dinesh Vaidya The Wandering Souls "Rahmania" Pune
