Ek Tha Tiger Music Review

Ek Tha Tiger Music

Music Direction : Sajid-Wajid (Song # 1) & Sohail Sen

Lyrics : Kausar Munir (Song # 1), Neelesh Misra & Anvita Dutt Guptan

What I expected : Its Salman Khan, its Sohail Sen and Sajid-Wajid, its Yash Raj, so nothing but an excellent album.!

Mashallah, sung by Wajid and Shreya, sole song done by Said-Wajid, is basically a bland composition with Arabic belly dance loops mixed with predictable vocals, cliché guitar arrangements and average lyrics, adding up to a forgetful affair! Remix is nothing good.

Laapata by K.K. & Palak Muchhal has quite a catchy setup with impressive rendition by KK and Palak, with cleverly arranged Latino music background. Good hear!
Remix is just fast paced.

Banjaara by Sukhwinder Singh showcases the singer again in an easy high pitch mode with a stunningly good Celtic/Irish inclined addictive arrangements! Good hear!
An equally good remix with increased tempo is included!

Saiyaara by Mohit Chauhan & Taraannum Malik, is the best song of the album, tailor made for Mohit with melancholic vocals by Ms Malik supporting beautifully, ends up being a perfect romantic outing with soulful arrangements and fabulous lyrics. Grt hear!

Tigers (Theme) composed by Julius Packiam is Don-Theme infused wannabe Hollywood-ish track with a heard before feel at many parts. Still an engaging one!

Verdict : Ek Tha Tiger is a good soundtrack with Sohail Sen clearly spilling his magic over the three tracks he got. Sajid-Wajid disappoints(again!) through Mashahllah, but minus that, the album is an enjoyable ride. Go for it!

3/5

 

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!
