There is nothing wrong in being analytical and discussing Rahman's music objectively. It's needed. Good critique of music is healthy. But, I feel that in all this analysis, we sometimes forget a very basic, important thing about music. How does it make you feel? Ok, so Lattoo is not a vintage, "up to his high standards" Rahman song. But, when you listen to it, is it catchy? Does it make you want to dance? Or even Kaise Mujhe. So much criticsm on Benny's voice, lack of good lyrics, etc. etc. Fine. These things should be expressed. But, when you listen to the song, does it make you feel good? Do you feel calmed? Soothed? Relaxed? Do goosepimples form? Does the melody touch your heart?
Just something to think about.
