So after Rahman, Sajid-Wajid and even Dabboo Malik, Adnan Sami comes up with a tune he thinks deserves the voice of Rekha Bharadwaj and gives her an eight minute and forty seconds long Sadiyaan ve, credited as Waqt ne jo beej boya, on the cover of the album, Sadiyaan.

When I heard it for the first time, I found myself wondering where I had heard the tune. But since the tune was so groovy and techno, I got no clue and kept enjoying the song as long as it was on. Only when the media player was turned off and I was humming the [...]

Ab ye Kafila starts with a solo, soulful rendition by MM Kreem as he starts singing Zameen chhod bhar aasma baahon mein, Parwaz kar nayi dishayon mein (leave the earth, take the sky in your arms, and fly in new directions), to be joined by Karthik and KK to make a song full of hope. [...]

O re Bande is the only composition of Piyush Mishra for the album Lahore, and is sung by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Shilpa Rao. The song is a Qawwali with some wonderful restraints and makes Rahat do what he does best, singing a great Qawwali, without unnecessarily straining his voice, something that has almost [...]
Sometimes simple is beautiful. Someone Somewhere’s Main jis se mila hoon/main jis se juda hoon is one such song. When I saw Amitabh Bhattacharya’s name in the credits, I thought there would be something good, but the first song disappointed me. Still, the second song, main jisse juda hoon, as it has been written in [...]

I think this is my first ‘on-demand’ post. I talked about Dil to bachcha hai quite at length when I first heard the song in a promo. The song was loved by people and somebody asked me if I could give an English Translation of the lyrics. So I am giving it a try here.

I don’t think I have any doubt anymore regarding Uff Teri Adaa being the best song of Karthik Calling Karthik. I have heard the song a number of times and I am getting superb responses on the song. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy give some electric music and it’s working like anything. People are in love with Alyssa Mendonsa’s [...]

No. This is not a poll/vote/awards or any fight like that. Here I am simply sharing some good words of the year 2009 that I found appealing due to various reasons. It can be a line, a mukhda, an antara, a complete song, or a complete album. So here comes my list. Don’t worry about [...]
Rekha Bharadwaj is one great talent. And the best part is that she gets to sing Gulzar’s words on Vishal’s tunes. And while many singers might have reasons to be jealous, she keeps on proving her talent again and again. Ab mujhe koi intezar kahan is one such instance. The song is a great one [...]
So the promos of My Name is Khan are finally out. And so have some pieces of music from here and there. I got a 3 and half minute clip of the song and some additional information. The song sounds good as Rahat Fateh Ali Khan sings for a full fledged SRK movie once again [...]

The reason lot of people don’t listen to Hemant Kumar is not that his singing and that music doesn’t appeal to them, but simply because it’s old. In fact it’s not just about Hemant Kumar but many other old composers who are liked even now but not paid attention by many of us only because [...]
It’s addictive. And I’m loving it. Yes, the one odd minute trailer of Ishqiya is out and the one minute is enough to get you humming phurr phurr. Vishal Bharadwaj, Gulzar and Sukhwinder Singh. After giving a Dhan te nan, team Omkara is here again with a new magic. And my guess is that one [...]

Amit Kumar is on a roll nowadays. While Chance Pe Dance has a little sweet rap by Amit, Shahrukh’s Dulha Mil Gaya has a wonderful new age Qawwali called Dilrubaon ke Jalwe sung by him. The video has SRK dancing on the floor, something that doesn’t go with him always, but the song is anyways [...]

First things first. Mann chandre is one the very best songs of Rahman. Or at least that is what I personally felt. I don’t understand Punjabi very thoroughly but courtesy Yash Chopra, i know quite a few words of the language and that helped me a lot in understanding the song, as it’s completely in [...]
