Delhi Belly OST

Delhi Belly soundtrack got released a little over a week back and the album is living up to the expectation from what we heard of Bhaag D K Bose. Ram Sampat has done a brilliant job on the music and gives us some hatke music where each song has a differnt genre, a different vibe. With Bhaag D K Bose we had pop rock, while Nakkad waale disco Udhaar waale khisko is more towards the ghazal/hint of qawalli, Jaa Chudail is pure punk rock. Switty Tera pyaar is bhangra pop (has punk version too) while Saigal Blues is well...blues. Bedardi Raja has that folk sound to it and Tere Siva is your off the mill Ballad. The lyrics are totally off the hook so don't go looking for any sense there, although it really brings a laugh especially Jaa Chudail and Nakkad waale.
Definitely a must have album if you ask me.

The videos I must add make the whole experience a lot more hilarious.

Coke Studio Season 4 Episode 1 - JAL

So while we wait for the Indian version of Coke Studio to premier, the Pakistani version's 4th Season kick started a month back and as always it has been a nice relaxing listen. I had mentioned in my earlier post of the song by Bilal Khan and along with him featured the more recognised and popular JAL who sang Ik Aarzu which is followed by Tere Ishq Nachaya and finally ends with Mast Qalandar. Now there have been quite some feelers that while Ik Aarzu is sung with total perfection the track does not live up to the mark in the later tracks. In my opinion, Mast Qalandar is always going to be a challenge to pull off as the comparison to the great Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan will come try however much may anyone and to come up to par with his singing is something which most artist would look up to. There are quite a few out there who think JAL have nailed the song too so the jury is still out, however for me the first part of the track is the one which rocks. Let me know what you think......

Zindagi Na Millegi Dobara OST

There are a few movies that we are waiting for this year and Zindagi Na Millegi Dobara is one of them. The music just came out and "Ik Junoon" sung by Shankar, Vishal, Gulraj and Alyssa Mendossa is already proving to be a smashing track. The video came out recently and it looks F.U.N!!!!
Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, the trio are back and this time we have some spanish infused bollywood tracks on hand and with "Senorita" we have Farhaan, Hrithik and Abhay singing and it has a very feel good vibe, heck it makes you want you sing too.
"Sooraj ki Bahoon Mein" and "Dil Dhadakne Do" kinda reminds one of Vital Signs songs in a way and is quite preppy.
The thing about this album is it takes us away from some inane lyrics that has been thrown at the audiences lately and is refreshing by just keeping away from a Munni/Sheila/Shallu/Jalebi Bai track.
This one is definitely a better album out in recent times.
