Blood Money Music Review

 

Blood Money Music
Music Director : Jeet Ganguly, Siddharth Haldipur & Sangeet Haldipur

Chaahat : Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. Sweet. Romantic and nostalgic. This song is a chartbuster. Fateh Ali Khan comes back to the "Jiya Dhadak" mode with this one. Simple lyrics and simple tune. But it has such an impact in one's mind. Impressive!!
Gunaah : Mustafa Zahid. Its good to see this wonderful singer again after Awarapan. And he doesn't dissapoint. Gunaah is very Pakistani pop. Dark and catchy arrangements. Superb rendition by Mustafa. This one's a winner.! The unplugged version by Rana Mazumder is superb and nostalgic.
Teri Yaadon Se : Mustafa Zahid. Love song. Sad. Rock. Mustafa's cool vocals is the usp of the song. Catchy tune. Simple lyrics. Pakistani at the core. Repeat hear! Remix is nothing new.
Jo Tere Sang : Mustafa Zahid. A good song again. peppy. Focuses on lyrics. Its dark again. Pakistani pop.
Arzoo : Clinton Cerejo. Get out of the mode! Fast track. Clinton does a good job. A pleasent number which feels good in the ears. Desi at the core. Good hear. :-)


Overall, Blood Money is a very good album which is in league with Awarapan, Kalyug and Jannat. Mustafa Zahid's return is impressive although the songs will remind of Awarapan itself a bit. Pakistani pop dominates all through the album. But they are here to stay. The music directors have done a fabulous job. Hats off!

London Paris New York Music Review

London Paris New York Music
Music Director : Ali Zafar

London Paris New York : By Ali Zafar and Sunidhi Chauhan. Peppy intro song. Good hear.
Voh Dekhney Mein : Ali Zafar. Cool is the word. The song flows so easily in the ears that we'll find ourselves shaking our head. Good composition. Good rendition.
The female acoustic version by Aditi Rao  is cool too.
Ting Rang : Ali Zafar. Nothing new. Routine bhangra number. Same old tune. Same old beats.
Thehree Si Zindagi : Ali Zafar and Aditi Singh Hydari. Now dats a good song with carefull arrangements and music. The chorus is good to hear which makes it an above average song.
Oo La La : Ali Zafar Hadiqa Kiani and Sanam Marvi. Peppy song. No innovations. Dark beats are good to hear.
Aaja : Ali Zafar. Zafar begins in the "Jhoom" mode but enter into peppy mode very soon. Not too convincing.

Overall, an average album with two good songs. Had more expectations from the album given that Ali Zafar is the m usic director. But it fails to live up the expectations.

Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya Music Review

Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya Music 
 Music Director : Sachin - Jigar 

Piya Ore Piya : By Atif aslam and Shreya Ghoshal. Sweet melody. Shreya saves the song. Atif yells as usual and croons as if he has severe cold. Rather an enjoyable number without much repeat quality. Sad version is also good. Remix was not neccessary.
Tu Mohobatt Hai : Atif Aslam Monali Thakur and Priya Panchal. Now this one's something. Atif's singing is plane which makes a better hearing. The tune is loveful and cool and the females support beautifully. Good hear! Remix disappoints!
Jeene De : Mohit Chauhan. The real gem of the album. This one stands out because of the Indian flavour of the song and Mohit's catchy rendition. Jeene De is addictive and is for repeat hearing. The qwaali elements is beautifully merged which suits Mohit's voice very well. Must hear! The coffee house version of the song is equally good.
Pee Pa Pee Pa : Diljith Dosanjh and Priya Panchal. Fast number. Good hearing. Fresh tune. Remix is nothing.
Fann Bann gayi : Sunidhi Chauhan and Kailash Kher. Waste of time.

Overall, TNLHG has three very good songs, one average and one flop song. Jeene de saves it from becoming below average. A nice hearing if u avoid Fann ban gayi.
