back! And even though he may not have given eight hits in this album,
he's done a good job. Some of the songs are very innovative and
appealing despite being inspired by other hit numbers.
With
popular singers like Shaan, Zubin, Alisha, Sonu Nigam and Kunal
Ganjawala cruising along with him, it's a great experience to go
through the entire album.
Pakistani band Junoon's hit track
"Sayonee" is what you seem to be listening to at the beginning of "Aye
khuda". Yet, this number is quite good as an individual song when not
compared to the Junoon track.
"Deewana tere aankhon ka" gives
you the impression that you're listening to "Bebot" by the Black Eyed
Peas. But, naturally. The chorus is exactly the same with only the
lyrics being changed to suit the Bollywood mood.
Jojo and Joy
don't do a bad job of keeping up with the Black Eyed Peas members -but
obviously they're not better. It's totally a hip hop number. A lot of
fans will be disappointed with the similarity between the two numbers,
but those who havn't heard the original will love the song.
"Gumsum
hai dil mera" is a good rendition by Sonu Nigam who sings it in the 50s
and 60s style. While the song starts off well and carries along well
too, it's generally a 'feel good' song. The lyrics are fine, courtesy
Shabbir Ahmed.
"Kajra re" queen Alisha Chinoy sings "It's
rocking" - an interesting and entertaining composition. The song has
some surprising elements and it's a great track but there would still
be doubts about its popularity.
Pritam's next composition,
"Jeena kya tere bina", is an okay track. It isn't as impressive as his
other numbers with singer Zubin Garg. It takes a slightly boring turn
and isn't as notable for a duo like this one.
"Miss you
everyday" comes next. This one is like the 'stage' numbers in any
Bollywood film. While Shaan croons like a boy-next-door for Tusshar
Kapoor, the number doesn't have much to boast about. It might suit the
situation in the film and sound good too, but all in all, it's an
average track.
While the journey from "Aye khuda" to "Miss you
everyday" gives you variety and a range of good tracks, yet there's
likelihood that the album may not do wonders with the audience.
