And why we love A R Rahman

Just when I am being upset with the music of "Slumdog Millionnaire" comes the songs from A R Rahman for the movie "Delhi 6" that is nothing short of mind-blowing. Start with this gem "Dil Gira Dafatan". Well sung by Ash King and beautifully composed it has an international appeal to it. Nicer will it be, to watch the ravishingly beautiful Sonam Kapoor pictured in this number on screen.

"Masakali" and its retro feel also sounds lovely and interesting. Beautifully composed with nice accordion (or was it harmonium) solos. Sung well too by Mohit Chauhan.

"Genda Phool" is a slow ballad set to Techno beats and sounds so off-beat for a song as this.

"Rehna Tu" is a number that reminds me of English pop hits (particularly Sting and Bono). Sung very well by the master A R Rahman himself and company I will add this to the list of good numbers from Delhi 6. Comes with a nice (electronic flute like instrument) solo too that concludes the song.

Check the lovely numbers here.
