[tscii:d61cc7207b]A detailed review (http://www.planetbollywood.com/displayReview.php?id=m052208074707)


It’s always a rare treat to reap the pleasures of a complete Rahman soundtrack. And after 2004, in which he released a whopping four [Hindi] soundtracks, we’ve merely been getting quick glimpses of the musical phenomenon either once or twice a year. That’s all about to change, as we have TWO back-to-back Rahman albums releasing simultaneously – JAANE TU YA JAANE NA and ADA. If you add in January’s release of Jodhaa-Akbar, then we already have THREE Rahman soundtracks in a short span of just five months. Let’s take it one step further, shall we? IF (and that’s a big if) release dates are expected to remain constant, then by the end of the year we may very well witness the release of two additional Rahmantic scores in GHAJINI and YUVRAAJ. Now, if you told me a few years ago that in 2008 the Industry would listen to the music of Rahman in five separate and complete soundtracks, I would have said you’re crazy!

Nevertheless, today we’re zoning in on just one – ADA…A Way of Life. The music of ADA is intriguing to me for a couple of reasons. When you look at Rahman’s resume (1998 and onwards), barring just a few cases, all his projects have been highly anticipated scores. ADA is definitely not one of them. If you clicked on this review thinking it’s just another low-budget disaster with forgettable music only to soon realize, in a dazed and confused state, that the music credits read A.R. Rahman, I guarantee you’re not the only one. In fact, the music of ADA was conceived and recorded some six years ago, while the film was still in its prime. ADA, a film that had seemingly joined the countless other projects sitting on the backburner has now been given new life with the release of its music on May 20, 2008, six years later!

“The music of the film actually took six years to make because the film started six years back in 2002. The music has a very old school melody feel. But it also has other tunes so it does have a color of different genres in it.” – A.R. Rahman [CNN-IBN]

It will be interesting to experience what Rahman terms as “old school melody.” Since he’s always maintained a very distinct class of melody, ADA will give listeners the perfect opportunity to witness a live progression in melodic genres first hand. It’s also refreshing to see Rahman stop on a dime to compose for a more modest film (which he hasn’t done in years) after just delivering music for one of India’s grandest films, Jodhaa-Akbar. Lyrics are provided by Raqueeb Alam (Water) and Nusrat Badr (Devdas).

Rahman packs a peppy punch in the very distinctive Ishq Ada IMale Version). From first-hand experience I can tell you that the number one struggle for composers and arrangers who are trying to get ahead now a days is the ethereal fusion of universal appeal with avant-garde sound. Rahman isn’t the Madras Mozart by fluke, he has mastered this union to provide us with both soul-stirring melodies and foot-tapping beats, while maintaining that never-before-heard sound. Ishq Ada is a pure synergy of both elements.

Let’s first look at Element 2: Rhythmic Background. Rahman differentiates the rhythm from the very get-go by commencing the number with an instrumental rhythm, as opposed to the more conventional percussion rhythm. The catchy rhythmic riffs of the guitar immediately bring the playful atmosphere to the forefront of the composition. As the melodic lines progress, so does the rhythmic build-up, as Rahman casually throws in some arabic percussions to give more spice to the musical aura, while the instrumental rhythm remains beautifully camouflaged beneath the percussions and melody.

Element 1: Melodic Foreground. Although I don’t quite see the “old-school melody” in this composition, I definitely can say that Rahman has dabbled quite a bit with experimentation while conceiving this franticly cool tune. Despite having numerous variations of the same melodic structure, Rahman surreptitiously strips the piece of differentiated stanzas. Normally this would be devastating, but it’s Rahman’s versatile melody that keeps masking itself to keep you hooked! Rashid Ali is perfect in his rendition of the relentless tune. His vocals are just as playful as the melody itself, as he balances his performance with emotion and poise. Lastly, the only other instrumental performance, apart from the guitar rhythm, is the harmonium, which makes short timid appearances between melodic riffs. It’s Rahman’s way of adding a simple touch to a relatively simple song. Raqueeb Alam’s short and snappy reflections on love fit the mood of the piece with perfect lyrical harmony. Verdict: Let the soul-tapping beats and stylish tunes of Ishq Ada flow through you…grow on you…

We are in true Rahmantic heaven with the absolutely gorgeous duet Hawa Sun Hawa. I know I may catch a lot of flack for this, but this has to go down as one of Sonu Nigam’s and Alka Yagnik’s greatest duets – and that’s saying something! It all begins and ends with Rahman’s golden melody. I can perhaps see shimmers of old-school layers here, but it is an extremely pretty piece nonetheless. The rhythm is another spectacle of sound courtesy Rahman, who gives us his unique version of an Indee-pop ballad. Also look out for the invincible integration of the tabla during the interlude as well as towards the end of the song…it’s musical divinity. Adding to the touch of grandeur and simplicity all at the very same time are the Bansuri and piano add-ons, not to mention the strong atmospheric presence, all filling the gaps beautifully. Nusrat Badr is at his romantic best with his eclectic poetry on undiscovered love. But the highlight here is undoubtedly Rahman’s melody and the vocal chemistry between Sonu and Alka. Verdict: My vote for best duet of 2008 so far. Excuse me while I rendezvous with this beauty a few times more…

Rahman throws out an earthy upbeat track in the form of Gum Sum. Another Sonu-Alka duet that clearly pales in comparison to the magic we heard in Hawa Sun Hawa. Perhaps this is the old-school melody that Rahman was referring to? Nevertheless, the melody doesn’t quite fit within Rahman’s boundaries, resulting in a tune that won’t easily dance on your lips. However, it’s the foot-tapping rhythm that saves this number. Special mention to the Santoor-inspired instrument (if not the Santoor itself) which puts forth a wicked performance throughout the composition. It’s also worth pointing out the organ riffs that are added towards the end since Rahman hardly uses the instrument! Nusrat Badr’s lyrics are a bit more conventional than one would like to hear from a Rahman track. Verdict: Check this song out for the rustic beats and wicked Santoor riffs!

Gulfisha is special because for the first time Rahman is featuring one of India’s hottest singers – Sunidhi Chauhan – along with Sonu Nigam. There’s another first for Rahman hidden here as well…the Italian flavors. Melodically the song is much more chilled-out than the previous three compositions, aspiring towards the younger crowds, indicative of the decision to bring on Sunidhi. Hinging on a synthesized atmosphere and some catchy clap beats, the melody really flourishes as the song progresses, with both Sunidhi and Sonu shining bright. Nusrat Badr’s lyrics take a back-seat to the heavy vocal presence but do complete justice to the animated number. It’s interesting to note: If in fact this song was recorded four, five, or even six years ago, why hasn’t Rahman hooked up with Sunidhi again? There have been plenty of opportunities to feature her vocals. Makes you wonder… Verdict: Plug this frisky tune into your car and cruise to the stylish sounds of Gulfisha.

The tuned out chordal play of the piano nudges the soulful light-pop number Meherbaan into play. It’s almost a safe bet to say that if a track is rendered by Rahman himself, it’s probably because it is amongst the best, if not the best song on the lot. Meherbaan features Rahman’s moving vocals amidst a light-pop ballad with caressing acoustic highlights. The peacefully pure melody will give you complete rest, as Rahman’s soothing voice takes this number to cosmic heights. With Meherbaan, Raqueeb Alam clearly proves himself the better of the two lyricists. His poetic phrases depicting the relationship between two joint-souls through metaphor completes the simplistic musical trinity with grace and integrity. It’s quite astonishing, and I’ve rarely experienced this myself, but the passion of the melody and the emotion of the vocals enhance the lyrical meaning of the song without actually changing any words. Verdict: If there were ever any doubts that music is in fact potentially a metaphysical incarnation of peace and purity, one exposure to A.R. Rahman’s Meherbaan will put all that to rest.

Ahh, and the addictive catch factor returns in grand form with the electric Tu Mera Hai. There’s so much going on at each and every moment of the song, yet never do you feel that the composition is crowded or cacophonic. The rustic rhythm is the first element of this rich and sultry song, paving way for the addicting catch line of ‘Tu Mera Hai Mera Mera Hai,’ rendered exquisitely by veteran Chitra, a Rahman favorite. Naresh Iyer’s smooth vocal undertones of ‘Ya Rab’ add to the immense catch factor. Sukhwinder Singh, another Rahman favorite, provides perfect support for Chitra’s power-house performance. While the tabla adds to the culturally rich heritage of the striking rhythm, the unrelenting play of the strings next to the vocal melody animate the composition with tremendous musical energy. Again, Nusrat Badr’s lyrics are quite competent, but the make-up of the song pushes the lyrics to the background and the melody/rhythm to the foreground. Verdict: Vintage Rahman, who once again weaves his magic over a song that liquefies the perfect blend of mass appeal and avant-garde sound.

Hai Dard tends to shy away from having mass appeal. The melody, although extremely poignant, seems to be slightly lacking the creative department. Nevertheless, there is melodic ethos. Rahman’s arrangements are quite non-engaging when compared to the rest of the soundtrack, and that contributes the most to my being disappointed overall. Udit Narayan delivers a fine rendition. Badr this times writes on…you guessed it…despair, but does so with little gusto. Verdict: Due to its situational characteristics, it will be better appreciated on the big screen rather than on audio.

Ishq Ada (Female Version) more than makes up for any shortcomings the previous track may have had. This is the exact same song as the opening piece, but has been completely rewrapped in brand new arrangements. It’s no coincidence that Rahman lightens up the background with a higher octave play of the rhythmic guitar and adds lighter bass lines…all these adjustments are characteristic of the female version not only with respect to vocals, courtesy debutant Parul Mishra, but also with respect to sound. Verdict: Just as stylish and breezy as its counterpart, I still tend to lean in favor of the Male Version. And that’s no coincidence either!

Milo Waha Waha, rendered by Alka Yagnik and Jayachandran, is a soft-spoken semi-orchestral love duet. Belonging roughly to the same genre as Hai Dard, the piece has a very steady rhythm throughout with slight variations in terms of the decrease and increase in percussions used. The hauntingly romantic melody blossoms towards the stanzas (pay special attention to Jayachandran’s chorus at the 5:10 mark, it’s eerily beautiful!). The song will appeal mainly to the lovers of ghazals, but if you give the song a chance it will surely grow on you. Alka Yagnik is a true revelation. Nusrat Badr’s poetic lyrics are finally given a chance to shine in glory, as he escapes the wraths of clichés to write a remarkable song. Verdict: More attractive than the aurally similar Dard Hai, Rahman conspires to give this song complete poetic justice.

Another reason why Rahman is so great is because he takes pleasure in even the smallest of things. Where 99% of composers would merely replace a male singer with a female singer, keeping everything else constant, Rahman saw the opportunity to give the entire composition a more feminine touch in Ishq Ada (Female Version). And yet again we witness the man’s humble approach to composition with Meherbaan (Instrumental) featuring guitarist Sanjeev Thomas. Although the song maintains the same sound as the vocalized version, the acoustic riffs and improvisations fit the composition beautifully. In addition to the acoustic guitar, we also hear the electric guitar throughout the stanzas, which adds to the sound value immensely. Verdict: Obviously not a substitute to Rahman’s tremendous vocals, but this instrumental version has its own flare of innocence and beauty. Enjoy!

The soundtrack of ADA may not be amongst Rahman’s best, but it surely is an admirable welcome to any music collection. Along with Jodhaa-Akbar, it’s one of the best scores the year 2008 has seen. With only Dard Hai slightly slacking, the music of ADA surely backs up Rahman’s statement of it having a color of different genres, with quite a bit of experimentation thrown in. And if you’re picky enough to pass on this Rahmantic score, than you don’t have to wait long to sample the next one – Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na is already on stands everywhere. Long live Rahmania!

masterpiece. i dont wanna go into any details. this album will be one of those that should be left to be talked about later on as it will survive for a very very loooooooooong time..... amazzing!

[rayan36]

My ADA top ten

1. Gulfisha - now this true 90's Rahman, the acoustic, interval beats, the changing of beats between pallavi & charanam, the way sonu nigam sings..Gul..Gul...Gul...Gulfisha, Ada ada hai ada.really magical

2. Gum Sum - acoustic again, actually you can hear the acoustic beats all along the song. The tabla works magic here. Here Alka Yagnik wins, thers actually two to three layers of music here.

3. Hawa Sun Hawa - really melodious, with the flute and the breeze music,floating you away. damn another dreamy song from rahman

4. Tu Mera Hai - The beginning of the song (even in every song) can't really predict what kind of genre it is. different mood in different lines, different instruments,this guy is playing with our mind. Chitra & Sukhvin awesome.

5. Ishq Ada - It's kinda creepy listening to this song but I love it. Rashid Ali always gets a latinish type of song from Rahman, remember Nadhir Dhina from Parthalae Paravasam

6. Hai Dard - Like i said in Tu mera Hai, you can really predict what kind of it is, the music just changes in few seconds when it starts, guitar really mesh well with the song

7. Milo Wahan Wahan - Jayachandran is just great in this sing, I think better than Kanathil Muthamidhal, the orchestra & Alka's is really haunting.

8. Ishq Ada - same tune, same song, different instruments, different feel.

9.Meherbaan - sorry guys, but I feel this song kinda flat, maybe needs more listening, it's different from all other songs.

10.Meherbaan Instrumental - ringtones anyone :wink:

[prasana84]

Meherbaan, Ishq Ada, Hawa Sun Hawa, Tu Mera Hai are really awesome

i dunno why i am not seeing the beauty is this. i love the melody, i love the orchestration, i love the singing. but i dont love the song. so weird. again, i think its the waltz. one more thing, i LOVE the interludes esp the first interlude in female version

[littlemaster1982]

Yeah, sometimes we can't explain why we don't like a particular song that much eventhough it is good. Maybe it doesn't strike a chord with us (Meherbaan in my case).

i like the ishq adha male version...
the guy floats his voice.... suspends it... and holds it back...
just like you push a rubber ball into water... and when it comes up with a diff pressure, you hold it back right...

i would say it as high viscous singing...

saaaaaaaaaaame! i cant believe i didnt like ishq ada and hai dard before, these two tracks r haunting the living soul out of me...

[Dragun]

Hawa Sun Hawa is a really nice song. I like the orchestration on Hai Dard, but I don't like the tune all that much.

[thineshan54321]

Hawa Sun Hawa is a really nice song. I like the orchestration on Hai Dard, but I don't like the tune all that much.

i thot the same... honestly, i love the song now... its so haunting especially when the beats stop mid way and all we hear is the singer with excellent chord progressions.

[dinesh2002]

Hawa sun hawa is my present fav

this is the song that 1st attracted me too.... awesome tune and excellent lyrics....!!! the flute usage in the song is simply like listening to Goddess Saraswathi playing them personally :D!!

[thineshan54321]

Hawa sun hawa is my present fav

this is the song that 1st attracted me too.... awesome tune and excellent lyrics....!!! the flute usage in the song is simply like listening to Goddess Saraswathi playing them personally :D!!

ya truly mesmerizing stuff. also the prelude is straight from heaven, the female hums the tune followed by sonu singing the same tune with lyrics going from low to very very high notes. excellent stuff. after munbe vaa, i would say the next best melody. i get the exact feeling when i listen to this. when munbe vaa released or even now, whenever i put the song i cant do anything else and i have to listen to the song fully before proceeding. believe it or not, when i was driving one day, munbe vaa came on my itrip randomly, so i just stopped the car, couldnt drive... my dad then had to take over driving. i felt like a fool afterwards, stopping the car but i couldnt help it. all i am saying is, it makes me pay attention to everything about the song, my concentration cant be split with these songs. same with hawa sun hawa

The starting line. I am not saying it is exactly similar to that song or anything like that. But whenever i hum the starting line of this song, i get reminded of that song. Maybe both have same raga( or whatever) which i am not aware of. Thineshan can explain.

hey ramakrishna u r partially right. they r both based on different scales. however the starting three notes in solli tharava follows the pattern whole whole note:
EF# G# F# G#
solli tha ra vaa

and this also follows whole whole pattern:
B B A.G GAB
hawa sun hawa

transposing hawa sun hawa we get:
G#G# F#E EF#G#

if u see 3 notes used in both the starting lines of the songs r EF#G# and the distance from E to F# is whole and F# to G# is also whole.

since we r dealing with whole whole patterns. what i mean the notes in both songs have a whole step between them. this is prolly the reason for u to get reminded of solli tharava. however the tunes r completely different and original from each other. the only reason u get reminded is because they use the same steps (whole between the notes). also if u listen to sollitharava and right away listen to hawa sun hawa u wont hear any resemblance at all since they r in diff keys, i am guessing u listened to solli tharava long time ago and so u didnt remember the key and so when u heard the same pattern of notes in hawa sun hawa u got reminded of it. i am also guessing u listened to solli tharava a lot of times.

good ears ramakrishna! hope i helped :)

** hawa sun hawa is the best melody i heard in years atleast since munbe vaa

hey i would say in terms of patterns solitharava is closer. but yes sonnalum starting sounds pretty close because of whole whole pattern. thing is our ears r very good at picking up whole note patterns. for example when u jump from a C to a D, its very easy to pick up (from experience). whereas with minor, its a bit tough. however i am assuming that when u listen to sonalum it sounds a bit i guess "soulful". this is because of the minor jumps (half note jumps) in the song. whereas hawa sun hawa sounds romantic and breezy (due to whole note patterns). please note, i am just sharing my opinion here, these are not facts. they can be :)

what i am surprised about is that no one picked up munbe vaa. if u listen to just the tune of munbe vaa and hawa sun hawa, ull know its SOOO close! they both use whole whole notes for the first bit and they both descend (not something very common in songs). as in they start at a high note and descend down. both munbe vaa and hawa sun hawa do that. here are the notes

hawa sun hawa:
BBAG GAB

munbe vaa:
A# A# G# F#

transposing (munbe vaa):
B B A G


**look at the first four ntoes same pattern.

however it is hard to pick this up due to the completely pole to pole orchestration in munbe vaa. the orchestration uses a lot of minor patterns that make it sound so different from hawa sun hawa. but thats nuff about this, these are just my observations when ramakrishna broguht it up... CANT WAIT FOR SUGAR CUBE!

Maddy sometimes its better if the movie doesn't get released at all. I mean rather than getting unnoticed after the movie releases like we've had so many films of ARR in the past its safe for it to not get released... We can treat this one as a non-film musical album by ARR...

as it is in playlist...
Isqh Ada
Kabhi Kabhi
Pappu Cant dance
Sakkarakatti

[crajkumar_be]

The female version is the best

[thineshan54321]

so it seems guys like female version... when my cousins were here for a party and when we were playing cards, i chose the playlist and along with their fav recent songs (sakarakatti inclusive), i added jtyjn and ada. one of my cousin (girl) liked the male version so much while my other cousins (guys) forced me to skip it, lol!

Wibha...i seriously think the other way round... the female version was just too good... mesmerising and her voice was excellent.... OTOH, i felt the male version was dull and so-so....

:D... who is the female singer anyways?? new singer???

[crajkumar_be]

ennappa ellarum sonnadhaye solrom :lol:

Anyway, why put down the other version?

IMO - the male version was great, the female version was stunningly fantastic. Nothing "just/quite ok" about either version!

[Wibha]

:lol:

fine lets come to a conclusion

majority girls like the male version and
guys like the female........no further arguments :twisted:

[hub rap]

meherbaan :!:
the prelude which resembles the 'little miss sunshine' soundtrack was slightly worrying me. nevertheless, a great number.

between the male and female version of ishq ada hai, whichever version one likes initially will begin to wane off in effect and the other version will emerge winner.

[tscii:6776feac70]A yearful of Rahman continues with Ada


Janhvi Patel, Hill Road Media
Ada ...A Way Of Life
Artist:
Music Director: A.R. Rahman
Lyricist: Nusrat Badr and Raqeeb Alam
Label: Big Music
Genre: Bollywood





Review:

A.R. Rahman fans are going to have their ears full this month. The maestro, who usually composes for only one film a year, has had two of his soundtracks released in just two weeks, three months after Jodhaa Akbar. But that's not all. A couple of his soundtracks are to be released later this year as well. This, his third offering of the year, is the melodious and somewhat haunting score of Ada … A Way Of Life.

The songs have been written by Nusrat Badr and Raqeeb Alam and the two have penned some impassioned lyrics about love, greed and longing.

'Ishq Ada' (Male version) has been beautifully rendered by Rashid Ali, whose husky voice is quite a discovery. There's always some madness in love, this is what the song is about and it has the Rahman stamp all over it. After you've heard the entire album you'll realize how this first song has set the pace for the rest of the album.

‘Hawa Sun Hawa’ is sung by Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik, the duo that has given us some of the most heavenly songs in past decade and a half. Nothing extraordinary though, ‘Hawa Sun Hawa’ is a nice love song with an old-fashioned melody and a graceful rhythm.

The next song, ‘Gum Sum’, is also rendered by the Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik. While my expectations from this duo were quite high after the previous number, this one suddenly made me feel like I’d heard too much of them.

‘Gulfisha’ has Sonu, Sunidhi and Viviane Chaix on vocals and is signature Rahman. The most veiled of the lot, this one will have to be heard over and over. While the girls seduce with their distinct vocals, Sonu sounds refreshing, more so on this song than the first two. It may be too soon to say, but after spinning this disc a dozen times, I suspect this song will come to be seen as the album’s best.

‘Meherbaan’ has been sung by Rahman himself. He was accused of saving the best song for himself. While this one does not compare to his other songs (‘Dil Se’, ‘Khwaja Mere Khwaja’), it is delightful to listen to his soothing, comforting voice. Soft and slightly western, this brilliantly arranged song is peaceful and staggeringly affecting.

‘Tu Mera Hai’ features Chitra, who is very convincing in her declaration, with Sukhwinder Singh and Rahman’s discovery Naresh Iyer. The song, in spite of good musical arrangements, is not that good, but that may be because it is up against such tough competition.

‘Hai Dard’ is emphatically rendered by Udit Narayan and takes you back to the eerie ‘Ai Ajanbi’ from Dil Se.

Parul Mishra renders the female version of ‘Ishq Ada’ and scores just as well as her male counterpart. Parul is quite a find too, one minute she sounds like Chitra and the next minute she reminds you of Shibani Kashyap.

The album ends on the beautiful note of 'Meherbaan’s' instrumental version. Guitarist Sanjeev Thomas is magical.

Summing up the album I would say the musical genius has mixed genres and delivered soulful, melodious tunes.

When quizzed about the reason for delay, Ayaan divulges, "We were waiting for A.R. Rahman to do the background score of the film. He was quite caught up with SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE and quite a few other events pre and post Oscars. In fact he was gracious enough to allow a different composer coming in but my dad (Tanvir Ahmad) who has directed the movie wanted him only to do it."

Why did they choose this route when it was resulting in so much delay? After all the soundtrack had already hit the stands and completion of background score by another composer could have finished the job sooner.

"See, ADA is a musical journey and we didn't want to compromise by any means", clarifies Ayaan, "According to me as well as others who have heard Rahman's background score, it is one of his best works ever. After such a long wait when I hear the score today, all my frustration goes away.

I saw the first 30 mins. All, I can say is the BGM is very well prioritized. A very complementing score from what I've seen so far. The 1st BGM piece which is in western classical is just something else and never heard before.
