Chords & Notes
HINDI
Nayee Padosan... Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy... Saregama... Rs. 55
AFTER ARMAAN, the trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy are back with this film which seems to be a take off from the old Padosan going merely by the title. The last song Ek Bechanee seems to almost confirm that - a fun-loving song with vim - reminding one a little bit of Kishore Kumar's song in Padosan.
Sari Sari raina, a peppy number by Shaan and Shweta Pandit sets the ball rolling for this album which has a youthful feel about it. Mera man is quite a nice number by Mahalakshmi which makes you want to listen more. This slow number is perhaps the best of the album.
At times there is a classical feel to some songs, but overall the album is an average effort.
Supari... Vishal-Shekhar... Saregama... Rs. 55
JUDGING BY the title this film seems to belong to the suspense genre though the flap of the album has quite a bit of red (indicating bloodshed) splashed all over. The music by Vishal-Shekhar is restricted to three songs, while Sandesh Shandilya has composed two songs - Bombay Bagiyan and Bombay Town - the latter a `fusion' song. One notices shades of A.R. Rahman in Chand Chahiye - which is rather well orchestrated. Chaha (sung by Sunidhi Chauhan) sounds good to hear and the music is different. Sukhwinder Singh renders Ek Saans with feeling.
The last four songs Hum dono jaisa, Saanwali si ek hai, Churaya churaya and More sawariya are taken from Mere Yaar ki Shaadi hai, Mujhse dosti karoge, Rehna Hai Terre Dil Mein and Awara Paagal Deewana respectively.
GHAZALS
Forever... Ghulam Ali and Chandan Dass... T-Series
GHAZALS ARE invariably soothing to the mind. Even if one does not understand the meaning of the lyrics, ghazals make for melodious hearing. Of course understanding the lyrics would enable better appreciation. Two ghazal singers, the maestro Ghulam Ali and Chandan Das feature in this album which is a compilation of five songs each.
The voices of both the singers captivate. The ghazals are not the very famous ones. The background score is soft and pleasing with a harmonious mix of Indian instruments like santoor and harmonium. There is one composition which seems unlike a ghazal - Tera mera milna is fast-paced with a foot-tapping tune. This album is for those ghazal lovers who would not mind listening to the not so well known ones.
INDI-POP
Tere bina... Abhijeet... T-Series... Rs. 50
IN A world of remakes an original score looks refreshing. Thus Tere Bina presents original compositions. Music by Saptarshi is not loud. Nusrat Badr has penned some lilting lyrics for the album that opens with a mellow Kabhi yaadon mein aaun. Chalne lagi hawayen is a folksy tune while Ho goya ho gaya is a peppy track. Other songs don't really make use of Abhijeet's singing capacity. Some of the better songs in the album are Neendon mein khwabon ka silisila, Dheere dheere dheere and Kucch to kaho, a number featuring lyrics by Rajesh Johri. These apart, there is not much to lend an ear to in the album.
ENGLISH
One Heart... Celine Dion... Sony Music... Rs.135
CELINE DION is one artiste who can do justice to ballads (remember Because you loved me) and racy numbers too, as the ones packed in her latest musical offering. I drove all night is one such track that kick starts the album, and popular— the video is there on various music channels. The tempo fluctuates across the album, from a racy Reveal, Faith--a still number, a slow In his touch, a romantic Naked and the feel-good title track, which is in fact the highlight of the album.
Yet another upbeat number here is Coulda Woulda Shoulda. The album packs in many sentimental notes Sorry for Love (2003 Version), Have you ever been in love, Forget me not and I know what love is. Je t'aime encore wraps up the album, exactly what the listener would say to the ace crooner for the music. A bowl of popcorn, a nice novel and a chair for you to sink in, is how you could ideally listen to the album, which in essence, is a pack of romantic songs.
