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.

Bachana

Coke Studio season 4 has just been launched and it has already given us a talent in Bilal Khan who sung "To Kia Hua" in the first episode.
Now the reason to put this song ahead of "To Kia Hua" is just because this feels more natural more raw and the song still lingers on even after its over. Have a listen, and let me know what you think.

Delhi Belly - Bhaag D K Bose

The official promo of the much awaited Delhi Belly was out a week ago and we heard the Bhaag D K Bose song in it. The official soundtrack is out with a video and is sure to be a viral hit. The punchline has been a joke amongst a lot of young people in the past and these young kids have grown up so it will be like going in the past and remembering the good ol' times. Yes this one is surely gonna rock!!

Ragini MMS music

Last week the soundtracks for Rangini MMS got released. There are six songs of which four are remixes of old songs. These tracks are "Raat Akeli Hai" sung by the legendary Asha Bhonsle and to be honest it is more of the original old track than a remix. Then there is "Dum Maaro Dum" which I personally rate much higher than the re-done version of the same song for the movie Dum Maaro Dum. The essence of the song is captured in this version and only a extra beats are added and Anusha Mani has done a good job on the vocals. "Liya Liya Chura Liya" is basically Chura Liya Hai with a faster tempo and the vocals are by Anousha Manchandani who had done an equally good job, although the liya liya bit kinda gets irritating with the trumpets following. Then comes the track, by the Goldman Sacks of India Bappi Lahiri, "Chicken Fry" which is remixed but Bappi is back at the vocals (no one could have done it better really) and has possibly the lamest lyrics (except for the song teen thay bhai from the namesake movie) but Bappi makes it a banger and this one is to set on repeat!
We then have "Rangini" which probably gives us the essence of what the movie is going to be like, it comprises of a duet albeit by two males vocalists and is a mix rap by Angel Roman which probably isn't the best (AB Junior does a better job of it and that really does say things) and the hindi raag style singing by Saizan Hussein who makes up for it. Last but not least, there is "Itne Kareeb Aao", which is the romantic song sung in a sort of jazz style which in my opinion could have been done a bit better with the lyrics being very average (yup this coming from the person who talks about adding chicken fry to repeat) and the vocals being a bit off at a few points in the song.
I would get the album for the old songs/remixes and Chicken Fry is still playing in the background as I finish this.
