From Sydney With Love Music Review

From Sydney With Love Music 

Music Direction : Sohail Sen,Thor Patridge & Nabin Laskar

What to expect : No Idea. It came out of nowhere. But one of the MD is Sohail Sen so expect some real cool tracks with intelligent backdrops.

Feeling Love In Sydney - Sohail Sen. A modern urbane song thats breezy with a nice tune, yets seems like milking on Sohail's own 'Choomanter'(MBKD). Nice hear! Remix is added, which is super fun with funny dialouge pieces added. Good one!

Ho Jaayega - Mohit Chauhan. Guitar dominated romantic track. Mohit is excellent behind mike. Also the uncredited female singer. Has a good tune. Arrangements are nothing special. Anyway a good hear! Remix is added, which is outstanding with bettr arrangemets. Original should have borrowed a bit from this.

Khatkaa Khatkaa - Mika Singh. Qawaali infused fast Indian dance track with modern arrangements. Mika is in high pitch in most parts as usual, but goes down at times. Good arrangements and definitely worth a repeat. Good listen!

Naino Ne - Palak. A sweet romantic track with an engaging tune, Indian flavour and impressive orchestration. Good and promising singing by Palak and the unknown male voice is good too. Has a heard before feel. Grt hear!!

Item Ye Hi Fi - Neeraj Shridhar. Very Neeraj Shridhar-ish dance track with modern club beats and a lot of things mixed together. A harmless song with nothing special. Worth a hear.

Pyaari Pyaari - Brooklyn Shanti. This one's something. Light hearted song sung superbly with highly addictive loops and a cool bit of  European feel arrangements and lyrics. You'll find yourself shaking your head. Grt hear!!

Verdict : From Sydney With Love is a nice package of  good songs, that won't leave you dissappointed. Good hear!

3/5 

Yeh Jo Mohabbat Hai Music Review

Yeh Jo Mohabbat Hai Music

Music Direction : Anu Malik

Lyrics : Anand Bakshi, Faiz Anwar, Kausar Munir & Anu Malik

What to expect? : When Anu Malik comes as the music director, one looks forward for some good melodies. With the tracklist featuring all the biggie names in Bollywood, album is great in expectations.

Pyar Karna Na Tha (Male) - Mohit Chauhan. Singer of the season. Light romantic melody with a highly catchy tune and simple, beautiful arrangements.(Especially liked the usage of Veena in the interludes.) Mohit's singing is first class and sonorous. Long tarck with a running time of 7 mins.! Wonderful lyrics by the late Anand Bakshi. Grt hear!!

Pyar Karna Na Tha (Female) - Shreya Ghoshal. The tune is so beautiful and Shreya is mesmerizing behind the mike. The same arrangements as of the former, this one is dreamy and an absolute winner!! Grt hear!!

Tere Bina Jee Na Lage - Mohit Chauhan & Suzzana Demello. Starts of with the pop-ish English piece by Suzzane and once Mohit comes in between, the track turns to be an outright romantic and delightful melody. Oh the arrangements.! The beats, keyboard, guitar and flute is perfect! Suzzane's "come back to me.." gives a European, nostalgic feel.Good lyrics. Winner!!

Naina Thak Thak Haare - Roop Kumar Rathod. Its delightful to see the name of Mr Rathod as one expects a soul stirring melody. And here it is a sad, nostalgic track sung perfectly by Rathodji with a slight Arabic infused soulful Indian arrangements. Lyrics are supportive of the song mood and the song flows accordingly. Mesmerizing! Grt hear!!

Kyon? Kyon? - Shaan & Shreya Ghoshal. Peppy romantic track with a heard before feel. Hated the "kyon kyon kyon..' part. Club-ish haunting arrangements and singing is in the same mood. Singers do a good job, but song is average. One time hear. 

Big Fat Indian Wedding - Neeraj Shreedhar & Anmol Malik. Wedding-Fun dance track which takes a dig on the 'big-fat-Indian wedding' :D. Lyrics are funny and Neeraj and Anmol are good in rendition. Good North Indian arrangements. Loved it! Good one!

Angel My Angel - Sonu Nigam & Alisha Chinai. The flute in the beginning is absolutely gorgeous.! The slow-swaying romantic tune, excellent use of Keyboard, Violin and Cello with the tender tender vocals of Sonu Nigam and Alisha makes a perfect nighttime hearing track.! A song with the refreshing western classic feel and lyrics that you keep chanting on and on. You'll love it! Grt hear!!

Verdict : Yeh Jo Mohabbat Hai is a very good full fledged romantic album which leaves the listner delighted. A good deal of superb songs with great repeat value and great potential if promoted well. Anu Malik is in the helm of the affairs and is back with the same calibre he had shown in the 90's. Good work! Go for it!! 

3.5/5
