Guru: Soul is where the soul is...

Hmmmm... My first blog. So invariably it is about the God of Music, the Mozart of Madras, A.R.Rahman, his recent album Guru.

Rahman, the genius personified, comes up with one another beauty - GURU. Joining hands again with Mani Ratnam, working magic since Roja.

Each track is a class act. The soul of the song comes from the soul that Rahman has put into it. Let me not delve into the review of each song explaining what it is. Instead I will stick to what and which part I like the most, that makes me want to listen once again. No explanation provided cos' I like it :)

Barso Re
The aalap before the first stanza.The start of both the stanzas.

Tere Bina
The sweet voice of Rahman.The way in which the first two lines of the first stanza starts, which goes like "Naaja".Percussion - You don't see Rahman using these type of "Normal" rhythm ;)

Ek Lo Ek Muft
The instrumental before first stanza. Harmony of female "lado lado" before the second stanza followed by the male harmony.

Mayya Mayya
Though the Violin reminds us of "Azhagiya Laila", the way the line Mayya Mayya is sung - Awesome. Rendition of "Ale ah hey ah hey"

Ay Hairathe
Background vocals of Rahman.Voice of Hariharan. Melts through your ears.

Baazi Laga
Honestly, very Non-Rahman-90ish music. So this is one of those "average" songs from Rahman. So not anything special.

Jaage Hain
One Word - Another Bombay Theme. Will love to listen continuously.
