Mausam - Music Review

The music of Mausam, Pankaj Kapur's directorial debut with son Shahid and Sonam as the lead cast, got released last week. Pritam is at the helm of music department and this time he surprises us with a bit of a different feel.
The trailers are out and the song featured is Rabba Main Toh, a nice romantic feel good track sung by Shahid Mallya.
This is followed by the banger of the track Sajh Dajh Ke sung by Mika and has that energy filled fun factor flowing through the whole songs. There are two remix versions within the album so in a couple of weeks the remix factories are going to go ablaze with this one.
Hans Raj Hans has come back to the fore with Ik Tu Hi Tu Hi, which if you have caught the trailer has the intro music of it. It has a very folk feel to it and this makes it a great song and on a lazy afternoon you would not mind it playing in the background while you rest up on your lazy couch. The we have Poore Se Zara Sa Kam Hai sung by Rashid Ali and the sargam is flowing with this one with its vocals what the song it all about with the raags raised and brought down beautifully.
Aag Lage Us Aag Ko gives us the mix of the folk and dance genre which is heavy on the beats of the dhol. There is something enchanting with the song which is hard to describe, you have to listen to it to experience it.
The last song of the album is Mallo Malli sung by Tochi Raina and this is my pick of the song from the list although the majority would be odds with me on this and fair enough but I like the melody and flow of the song and have no idea what in the world Mallo Malli means but it sounds snazzy and the feel of the music makes you want to dance. You again have two remix versions of the song with one done by Lehmber Hussainpuri and Hard Kaur which again brings two different style of singers and Lehmber, not just because I think he is an awesome singer, kills it on the vocals. Big up track this one!
Mausam brings the punjabi folk, bhangra and dance music and infuses each other with the best results. Definitely a good album to have.
