Atif and Shreya are in great form in Jeene laga, a hummable breezy tune, despite the slightly spruced 90s sound. Shreya joins Atif again in the pleasant, lilting melody in Bariyan, while Atif even briefly sings in a falsetto in Rang jo lagyo, his spritely, Atif’ishly sweeping solo. Mika’s Hip hop pummy is a perfectly [...]

Fukrey (Music review), Hindi – Ram Sampat

Fuk fuk fukrey is high on energy, with occasional dubstep and likeably coarse vocals by Ram and Amjad. Rabba is a curious, engaging mix of a seemingly folk’ish tune set to a pulsating mod sound, led by Keerthi Sagathia! Karle jugaad seems like Delhi’s anthem – phenomenally catchy hook and cleverly spruced-up qawali! Beda paar, [...]

The title song gets its bouncy rhythm and hook perfectly; Sukhwinder and Shankar Mahadevan’s version is good enough, but Toshi’s vocals in the other version is impressive too! But, Jatt yamla pagla, a vapid Punjabi-techno ditty isn’t so lucky. Changli hai too is no different – tired filmy tune. Things get better with the tuneful [...]

Amartya Rahut’s Barbaadiyaan is energetic and catchy, but also oddly hollow – Sasheh Aagha and Ram Sampath’s cool vocals do help, but. Its other, moody version, Barbaadi, by Agnee Mohan is a highly imaginative variant, however. Ex-Parikrama guitarist Vipin Mishra gets Keerthi Sagathia’s apt voice for the serene, rock-tinged-folk tune, Jigra fakira. Marianne D’Cruz’s choir [...]

Mika’s Ding dang ding dang is age-old Punjabi masala repackaged in the same old bottle – predictably boring. Shaan and Monali Thakur’s conversational Nachlay nachlay works only because of the banter-style tune. There’s way too much happening in the background of Pri And Me that the actual tune shows up only in the antara, by [...]

Badtameez dil is heady and addictive; Benny rocks with his vocals! Balam pichkari too… foot-tapping holi song with superb singing by Vishal and Shalmali. Ilahi’s guitar-driven sound and children’s chorus is endearing; so are the two versions by Arijit and Mohit, but the tune is oddly unmoving. Ditto with Kabira; two versions and four singers, [...]

Talia Bentson’s tantalizing vocals kick-start the heady Slowly slowly, while Jigar takes highly addictive ode to the good, dancy night to new heights! The anti-Monday anthem, Khoon choos le ups the ante further – a thoroughly enjoyable and wacky track with the occasional sitar and hilarious lyrics. Babaji ki booti, a trippy, smoked-out track has [...]

The techno-Bhojpuri sound of Baby Doll works fairly well, keeping things adequately throbbing. Vishal delivers the bouncy Pehn di takki in a strangely subdued manner – predictable, but catchy. Shekhar’s Mann baavra starts off well enough, but oddly meanders into an odd, off-key interlude and medley like assortment. We Are Like This Only is foot-tapping [...]

Amitabh Bhattacharya’s lyrics prop Bachchan well, much like Sukhwinder’s spirited singing, though it’s all for a tad simplistic tune. Akkad bakkad is more like Amit, though – beautifully sung by Mohit Chauhan; but, a bit too familiar within Amit’s repertoire. But he makes up for that with two dramatically divergent versions of Murabba – the [...]
