Well Written there..!! I also admired the very name "Ila Arun" in the tracklist when i saw for the first time..! I always knew that she would rock it up with her earthy and rustic voice..!!! Her trademark folksy rendition is always worth enjoying..! Not to forget ...Sapna Awasthi as well..!!! Last heard in the mammoth "Chaiyya Chaiyya..", her distinct voice was long disappeared..!! Good to see these two "hatke" singers binded into one song..!! Hail ARR!!!

Her latest song Kata Kata form Raavan in my view marks her Third hit in a row after Slumdog Millionaire and Well Done Abba. Her performance in Kata Kata is simply awsome, as is the whole song, requiring mainly on percussion. Brilliant, which only Rahman could do. Her style and genre is raw and earthy in my view and while does not suit everyone, to me is a welcome change on the current music scene.She did such a brilliant job in Kata Kata, I cannot fathom even singers like Richa Sharma doing half of what she did in there. No offence to the punjabis out there, but i was really getting fed up of every son sounding like bangra, something that even Rahman did for a while (the chiggy wiggy debacle of Blue). Now I am hoping that with tihs breathtaking album and song, that the current trends of Hindi music would change to be or embracing of the rich musical folk music of india in states outside of punjab like Rajastan, Bihar and others. India is so diverce in culture, and its reall a shame that the only style Westerners recognise is bangra. Good going to Ila Arun, A R Rahman and Mani Ratnam for this album.
