Now this is the kind of AR Rahman stuff I was waiting for. Many of us can't expect it to be a part of a movie called 'Rockstar'. But these days, the name of the movie no more suggests the kind of music it has. So, let us call it the lightest of the cases.
Anyways, 'Kun Faaya' is a new sufi song from 'Rockstar', composed by AR Rahman, which has a new experiment associated with it. People, Mohit Chauhan is singing in the song (which, again, is a sufi piece)!
As a matter of fact, it doesn't really matter if Mohit Chauhan is a part of the new sufi song. Since Rahman and Javed Ali are already a part of it, its beauty does not get affected by who the third singer is. Same was the case with Arziyan (Delhi 6), in which Kailash Kher was present with his over-dry voice (read 'anti-feel'). But the song was as divine as any of the earlier Rahman sufi.
The history has been repeated, and believe me, you'll get lost in the way Mr. Rahman treated the song this time.
It starts (as expected) with un-instrumented (which means 'well-backed only by keys', in Rahman's case) vocal by Rahman. And then, the instruments start getting added slowly. There's a very sweet harmonium riff, with which Javed Ali enters. The wetness and flexibility in his singing are as clear as anything. That his voice is miscible with such kinds of music, is pretty much evident.
Mohit Chauhan does some harm to the song's soul. But never mind, it doesn't make much of a difference. And no one should actually care as Chauhan's voice is, apparently, Ranbir Kapur's (in the movie).
What is to be paid attention to, is the sort of composer Rahman has (yet again) proved to be.
Let us just hope that this sabbatical makes him stronger at creation.
