Hear it to Believe it. Review on Yuvvraaj Songs

Whenever A R Rehman is in the scene of music one would certainly want to listen it, not only because he has

tremendous track record but the innovation he provided in the music. Every time he is expected to do something different he always blessed us with the beyond

thoughts results. Now coming to this current attraction the album in all

consists of 8 songs with one remix. After listening to each song I am not able

to believe that every song has its own identity and genre of music. Lets go

song-by-song and see what the album offers.

DOST

Benny Dayal & Shreya Ghoshal

Yodeling starts and violin gets

entry in a groovy manner simply impressive, here you with “Tu Hi Meri Dost Hai”.

Use of Chorus is just amazing in the whole track. Persian language used very

frequently by Gulzar Sahab in this album some words are used in chorus which

sounds nice. Every piece of instrument used is soothing. Benny Sung fine while

Shreya is ok in the song. People who like different kind of music would

certainly love this song. Though the tune is quite difficult and it takes time

to get on to you but when it gets you won’t be able to avoid it. One of the

Best track of 2008.

TU MUSKURA

Alka Yagnik & Javed Ali

Again a very difficult tune with

some unexpected lyrics & it also needs repeated listening to get on to you.

It is amongst the most melodious songs ever produced by Rehman. After the

Mukhda the instrumental piece refer to Tu Hi Meri Dost is just amazing, so as

the Sargams by Javed in the middle of song. A full treat to music lovers.

DIL KA RISHTA

Sonu Nigam, Roopkumar Rathod, A R Rehman, Blaze

Subhash Ghai’s favourite

instrument Piano is used as interlude in all the songs. Unconventional song,

very difficult to digest indeed. Passion and aggression and Dil Ka Rishta,

Gulzar Sahab left me spell bounded in this song. Sonu Nigam can easily put this

song in his best ever’s lot. The song continues in Operas style and Grand

Orchestration just got unbelievable. Hear it to Believe it this is wonderful.

SHONA SHONA

Sonu Nigaam, Srinivas, Karthik, Timmy, Sunaida, Vivienne Pocha, Tina

Pappu Cant Dance was enough this

is not among the songs Rehman can proud of. I tried to listen it but I don’t

know why every time in the middle of song I just get tierd and not able to

listen it fully. Passable track. Moreover the Song has a Remix version which is

in Hip-Hop Style, it reminds of Very Bad Songs in 80s.

MASTAM MASTAM

Sonu Nigaam, Alka Yagnik, Naresh & Benny

Lyrics are not understandable

because of use of Persian by Gulzar Sahab. Tune is amazing no doubt. Sonu is in

full form so is Alka. I found this as the best tune in the album, very original

very ear pleasant. Rehman used the Doubling effects in Sonu’s voice very

nicely. Lyrics could be down-sider otherwise from my side this song is strongly

recommended to everyone. Programming of Song is strongest among all.

ZINDGI

Srinivas

What you say about orchestration

its just amazing. Thanks to Gulzar Sahab for nice lyrics and Soothing vocal by

Srinivas. Emotional song can have this kind of treatment I cant imagine. Full

marks to Rehman for this improvisation. Again a strongly recommended song.

Manmohini Morey

Vijay Prakash

Riaz practice in the end Lat

ulghi sulghaa ja re balam, good fusion by Rehman. It shows his versatility that

he never afraid of attempting different. Nice use of Tu Muskura instrumental in

the song. Overall a nice attempt.

Thousands of composers around the

space but why everytime it’s A R Rehman who provides different and decent

soundtrack, its only gives one conclusion that he is the BEST. All songs in

this album are very melodious and tunes are very very difficult so it might be

difficult for people to get the tracks easily but these needs repeated

listening to get to the music. I can easily say it is an attempt towards experimentation

and needs at least one look. YOU WILL LIKE IT AS I DID.
