Rahman is a very good soul, and his voice reflects his goodness and peace. He’s never claimed to be a technical vocal wiz kid, but his choice of songs for himself is appropriate to suit his voice and style. The good quality in his voice is that he sounds equally good in songs with both Western and Sufi flavour,” Sonu Nigam remarks Arrow

Later, the lyrics were changed and since I was in US then – my wife was due to deliver there – Rahman re-recorded it with Javed Ali. By the time I returned, the song had already been shot. But Rahman realised he’d done something wrong, so he sat me down and apologised, and hoped I’d understand. Arrow

What’s more is that he retained my humming in the song as a tribute to me. That’s Rahman for you. - Sonu Nigam
