A great motivational song, with typical Salim-Sulaiman arrangements, reminiscent of the music of 'Kaal'.
Clearly, pronunciation is not really Sukhwinder's priority. And neither is he into the whole 'silky voice' thing either.
But we don't look to Sukhi for all that - we listen to him for raw, passionate and joshila stuff. Sometimes it is easier to relate to something that is quirky and imperfect in places, I think.
The tune is again quite simple, except in the freakout high note sessions, which are quite challenging. Sur pe toh bahot pakki pakad hai Sukhiji ki. And his special voice breaking harkats make a reappearance in this song. The joshila, aggressive style of singing is very apt and produces the desired effect.
I would have preffered the high notes to be hit without all that strain and nasality. Those intonations should have been kept to a mere touch. Overall, an eight out of ten from me!
And I will be playing 'Mitwa' from Lagaan by Uditji - another motivational track to complement Chak De. Music by A R Rahman and lyrics by Javed Akhtar.
