So, what do you think about our Mr Rahman? My mind travels back to Roja and the breakthrough sound he pioneered, changing the rules for the, until then, heavily formulaic Indian music industry.
He came across as truly funky, with his variating time signatures and staccato off beats, threading a lyrical needle through it all to hold it together.
And then, I felt for some time, he made a formula of it himself.
Even with Slumdog, the typical Rahman drum-line drives Jai Ho. To put my comments into perspective, a prophet must always suffer stricter scrutiny by his own.
