ada musci review Music Album- Ada…a way of life
Artist- A R Rehman
Singer- Rashid Ali, Sonu Nigam, Alka Yagnik, Sunidhi Chauhan, Viviane Chaix, Chitra, Sukhwinder Singh, Naresh Iyer, Udit Narayan, Parul Mishra & Jayachandran

A R Rehman is back with a break and this year he has many releases under his belt. His last music was heard in Jodha- Akbar which was a reasonably hit. Now A R Rehman has issued his own Album – Ada…a way of life. He once again has come up with some melodious and sweet music.

Song Ada (Male version)
Song is sung by a newcomer Rashid Ali whose voice reminds of Rehman himself. Rashid Ali has Sufi touch in his voice and he deoes complete justice with the song. Impressive rhythm with jazz effect. Typical Rehman song which creates its effects slowly slowly and becomes masterpiece.

Hawa Sun Hawa ( Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik)
Alka Yagnik’s voice seems fresh in this song unlike her recent compositions. Whenever Sonu says “hawa”, there is hollowness to his voice that makes you feel like a gush of air just passed across you. Beautiful flute interludes. I’ve always felt Sonu’s pronunciations are brilliant. A completely refreshing song. Flute is very sweet in the middle of the song.

Gum Sum (Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik)
Extremely talented Sonu sings this ordinary composition brilliantly. His variations are flawless and notes on target. Beautiful beats to give your head a high roll. Ending of the song leaves you surprised with increasing strumming rock effect.

Gulfisha (Sonu Nigam, Sunidhi Chauhan & Vivian Chaix)
The song opens with Vivian’s chanting of what sounds to me like Parseltongue. And Sunidhi is one person who can beautifully carry off a base voice as well as high notes. The way both Sonu & Sunidhi sing the word “Ada” is very flirtatious. Finally, there is an alaap done by Sunidhi which gradates to Vivian’s chanting and closes on a very mysterious note.

Meherbaan (A R Rehmaan)
Arguable the best song of the album. What godly voice A R Rehmaan has with magical effect of his pronounciation. Simply Aswome to hear. A delight for all music lovers. It can’t get better than this.

Tu mera hai (Chitra, Sukhwinder Singh, Naresh Iyer)
This is more of a typical bolllywood song with Chitra singing well. Dark, serious and catchy song which is reasonably ok. Naresh Iyer is good too. This song transform into Gajhal in the last part.

Hai Dard (Udit Narayan)
Use of heavy metal and Arabic interludes in the middle combined with Udit Narayan’s talent has elevated this ordinary sad song to much better and its again a very decent sad song to listen to.

Ishq Ada ( Parul Mishra)
Ishq ada is sung by Parul Mishra which is a newcomer like Rashid. Song is beautifully sang by her as innocence of her voice leaves a soothing effect on audience.

Milo Wahan Wahan (Alka Yagnik, Jayachandran)
This song was made for Alka and she has mastery in this type of songs. A beautiful composition and well sang. Jayachandran is ok with little overstressed pronounciation.

Meherbaan (Instrumental)
Meherbaan is the best song in the album and Rehmaan well realize it so he might have decided to release a Instrumental version of the song. Sanjeev Thomas impresses with his guitar skills.

Though all the songs are beautiful but my favourite song in this Album is Meherbaan by AR Rehman , the song by God himself. A R Rehman is priceless and I would thank him for giving such a beautiful album once again
