Kshitij Tarey has been the front runner singer in almost all the albums of Mithoon, a composer who has been loved by many of us. But I was surprised to see an unknown composer Gaurav Dagaonkar’s name on the album, and Mithoon wasn’t there even as a guest composer. Probably Kshitij wanted something different from [...]

When I heard the first song of Jaana Pehchana (sequel to 1978 movie Ankhiyon ke jharokhon se), Hairatzada hoon main, I was wondering whether I’d be able to unbiasedly review the song as it was sung by Sachin, someone I have loved, for not only his acting and direction, but also his knowledge of music [...]

Rockstar starts with Mohit Chauhan singing Phir se ud chala. The song, that starts with a relatively light mood and gets a breezy effect from Mohit, like the words of the song, gets remixy by the end, actually a nice experiment that will catch on slowly. One very interesting part of the song, though, was [...]

Dhinchak Zindagi didn’t sound so dhinchak to me even with its not bad melody, probably because of its arrangements, and Kunal sounds a bit too enthusiastic here, but then that probably goes with the song. Overall fine, but not too great. The next, do kabootar gets some reduction in noise levels, and even though it’s [...]

Shivam Pathak and Shreya Ghoshal’s ‘Tu hi tu‘ is nice in music, its orchestration, and singing as well. The slow, restricted number with relatively light music is easy on ears, while Shivam Pathak’s so-heard voice seems really nice in the song. The next song, Ae meri jaaniya, happens to be a solo for Shivam, and [...]
I was wondering whether to write a review or leave it for tomorrow when the second song of the album, Shail Hada’s Main ek Bhanwra caught my attention. A composition of Amit Sial and penned by Sandeep Nath, the simple song reminds me of the songs of Kishore Kumar’s days, should I say the ’70s [...]

If you too feel that Salim’s Afreen is kinda repetitive and sounds a little like Fashion’s Marjaava, go listen to Rahat’s unplugged version of the song. Salim-Sulaiman once again do quality stuff with Rahat. My only say after the version is that the original version could have been given to Rahat as well. The next [...]

The title song is not really a great one, and just passes the regular Neeraj Shridhar number mark. While the next, Tik tuk tik tuk is an interesting one, not just because of additive music and lyrics but also Daler Mehndi. The next, Neeraj Shridhar and Sunidhi’s Pardaa Nasheen, again is not too impressive, even [...]

To start with, Vishal-Shekhar have tried to created an album as international as possible. Out of the fifteen tracks, there are a number of themes, and some four of the songs have good amount of English. The album starts with Chhammak Chhallo, about which I don’t think I need to write much as the song [...]

Himesh Reshammiya in Sufi style, with background all bass, makes a nice start, but Damadamm masti masti mast kalandar part of the title song could be a bit more innovative I guess. Still, the song does sound nice, and with all those voices, there is almost no nasal factor in the song. Nice one. Worth [...]

The first song, Music Bandh na karo, is on the lines of party abhi baaki hai, but not that good. Still an okay one, should work fine as a party number. The next, Hey na na na Shabana is an interesting one, Raghav’s voice is well used by Sachin-Jigar and the music is kinda catchy. [...]

Harris Jayaraj is here. After Kakka Kakka and Gharshana, the song that is Khwabon Khwabon here, is as good as it was back in 2003 and 2004. Yes, it has the potential to be a rage here as well, especially with the Gibberish Suchitra is performing for the third time. Do listen. The next, Chahoon [...]

With Aadesh’s so-enthusiastic music, Ladd baapu is excruciatingly long with its five and a quarter minutes, even though the lyrics are not bad. The song is a bit noisy but maybe some good publicity and a good video can make it likable. As of now, strictly okay. Khel Khel mein, again sung by Aadesh and [...]

Akshay Kumar gets RDB to compose for his home production Speedy Singh, earlier titled Breakaway. Definitely, the album has all Punjabi songs, all dance numbers at that, but the albums still sounds good, if you’re one for the type. Here is a review. The album starts with ni aaja ve sung by Veronica with H-Dhami. [...]
