Tracklist - June-July, 2009




Well, here's a list that I've compiled of all the latest good hindi songs, check them out. You might like them. Here it is (in no particular order) :

Welcome to Hollywood - Anushka Manchanda & Karsh Kale This song is composed by Salim - Sulaiman (the only song in the movie to be composed by them) and it is the only song I liked in the whole soundtrack of Kambakht Ishq. Although its a pretty short track, but it has everything going its way, the vocals of Anushka Manchanda and Karsh Kale perfectly suit the mood of the song. The english lyrics are also pretty decent by Sabbir Khan, the director himself, as he knows what the theme should be.

Baawari Hoon Main (both versions) - Shreya Ghoshal / Raja Hasan The first time I heard it, this song really appealed to me, although its from a pretty unknown movie " Dekh Bhai Dekh". I wonder how many have actually heard of this movie. The music is given by a newcomer Shahdaab Bhartiya (never heard of him before). There are two versions of the song, one by Shreya Ghoshal and the other one by Raja Hasan. Shreya Ghoshal's version is really sweet, whereas the latter one highlights the husky voice of Raja Hasan. Both are decent listens, give them a try.

Sapne Bhaye Hain - Rahat Fateh Ali Khan & Rajab Ali When the song starts off, it doesn't sound all that great, maybe because of Rajab Ali's vocals, but as it is taken over by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, it starts getting that lift. The music director has made some interesting choices for the vocals of all the songs and even the instrument arrangements, combining the western and Indian ones is pretty interesting. The lyrics are pretty good, by Moazzam Azam:
" kaahe sataaye, nindya udaye, laaj ke saaye, parde uthaye, nazron ke haathon se mal kar, tan ki kiran ko aise chudaye. kar de kaali dopahri......nainon ki nadiya gehri...."

Main Chala - Nouman Javaid Never heard of this guy before, but he seems to be getting it right here in this film. This track is really soothing, with some nice lyrics(written by Nouman himself) and guitar chords. This is the perfect track when you're feeling low or something.

Nazrein Karam - KK & Shreya Ghoshal Well, very rarely does it happen that you take KK, and the song doesn't go well. He's so very reliable and gives his best everytime. This is yet another great song by him, Sharib-Toshi have chosen the right voice, and Shreya also does a good work with back-up vocals. The song "Aaya Re" also deserves a mention here.

Chaandan Mein - Kailash Kher Well anything said about this guy is less. After coming from a humble background, he goes global with this album (its being released in US by a sister concern of Putmayo Records). After 3 really awesome albums (Aawargi, Teri Deewani and Kailasa Jhoomo Re), he does it yet again this time with Kailasa Chaandan Mein. This track starts off slowly, will take sometime to get on to you, but then it wont get off you.The music is by Kailash, Naresh & Paresh, and the lyrics are by Kailash himself. The video is also pretty decent.
Bheeg Gaya Mera Mann (Cherrapunji) - Kailash Kher This one is the pick of this album for me. This would be in my list of all time favourite rain songs. I didn't know Kailash Kher could also pen down such beautiful lyrics. The music arrangements are just perfect and Kailash, as always is awesome with his vocals. I'm eagerly waiting for a music video of this song, and just hoping it would be as beautiful as the song itself. Here are few lines from the song which I liked: " mastiyon ke ghoot pee, shaukiyon mein tair jaa,
ishq ki galiyon mein aa, in palon mein thehrjaa,
rab ka hai ye aaina, shakl haan isko dikha,
zindagi ghud-daud hai, do ghadi lele mazaa.
chamke chamke ye jharnon ke dhaare,
tan pe malmal si padti phuharein, ped hain manchale se, patte hain chulbule se........ bheeg gaya mera mann"
"dagmagati chandni has rahi hai, josh mein aur patange ga rahe raag-maal, kauns mein ban ke naache behaya besharam pagli hawa, zindagi milke gale has rahi de de dua... barse barse re ambar ka paani, jis ko pee pee ke dharti deewani, khilkhilane lagi hai, muskurane lagi hai.....bheeg gaya mera mann....."

Na Batati Tu - Kailash Kher Well this song is so much of fun. It reminds me of Tauba Tauba from his album Teri Deewani. It is a really upbeat track, the lyrics don't play much of part here, its just the music arrangement and the vocals.

Rang Rang Ma - Kailash Kher This song is really contagious (as mentioned by reviewer Amanda Sodhi). Well it surely is !! The Sitar part is really cool, along with the western instruments used. The lyrics are decent.

Jaana Hai - Mohit Chauhan There is something with Mohit's voice. I end up liking most of his songs. This song starts with a tune similar to "Kholo kholo" from TZP, but when Mohit takes over, it sounds somewhat different. The best part about this song are its lyrics, I absolutely loved them, they're really encouraging.
" ek haath khud ka utha kar kandhe pe apne rakha hai, haaregi humse ye uljhan khud se yeh humne kaha hai, hum chale the banane mitti ka aashiyana, kaale baadal usi din chahte phir barasna..... jaana hai jaana hai baadalon ke paar, woh jahan peeli dhoopon ko, dhoopon ko hamara intezaar...... dhoop mein chale to chaaon hone di parayi, bharke hausle ko seene mein tu kar ladaai, hai khada tu ye sawaal leke is tarah se, intiha ye bandagi khuda ne khud banayi......"

Twist - Neeraj Shridhar
This song starts off with the tune of "Mann dole tann dole" by Lataji ( Decibel copied it from this!!! ). This song is gonna be a big hit, because its this proper foot tapping number which will be used for many dances and stuff. Irshad Kamil's lyrics are mediocre in this song, with a combo of Punjabi-English-Hindi. Neeraj's and Pritam's combination hitting it right once again.

Aaj Din Chadheye - Rahat Fateh Ali Khan
This is a really nice song, very sweetly sung by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. I guess this song might be picturised on the Punjabi character of Saif Ali Khan. Lyrics are nice in this one.
"baqsha gunaahon ko, sunke duwaon ko, rabba pyar hai tune, sabko hi de diya, meri bhi aahon ko, sunle duwaoon ko mujhko wo dila maine jisko hai dil diya....... woh jo mujhe dekhte hase paana chahoon raat din jise rabbba mere naam kar use tainu dil da vaasta "

Ye Dooriyan - Mohit Chauhan Another Mohit Chauhan song, and I like it again. Pritam had given us Tumse Hi, and this is a pretty similar number to that (similar not in the sense, lift). Well, its not as good as Tumse Hi but the closest it can reach to it.

Aahun Aahun - Neeraj Shridhar It starts off with a really peppy guitar chords and that is the highlight of the song. You just hope that it should've lasted for a bit long. The Punjabi part is really good, with some really nice beats, but it goes back to the same trademark Neeraj thing after he takes over it, though the Punjabi "Aahun Aahun" sounds fun. The mixing and the transition from Punjabi to Western is appreciable.

Main Kya Hoon - KK
This one starts off with a trance feel to it. A different sort of song, probably my favourite from this soundtrack. KK does it yet again with this one. Really well sung by him, especially when going on the higher notes. Pritam does a great job in this soundtrack. Take a bow, Sir (and I'm not being sarcastic this time).

Meethi Meethi Baatein - Shaan & Shreya Ghoshal
This song is the pick of this monsoon for me. Really lovely lyrics, and beautifully sung by Shaan & Shreya. The music and lyrics properly go in accordance with the season.
" meethi meethi baatein, hari-bhari shaam, chai-vaai chhodo, kaheen chale hum rim jhim paani bole kahani, aao sune mil kar boondon ki cham cham "

Kal Nau Baje - Sonu Nigam & Alka Yagnik
Feels so good to hear the veterans in some good song after like so many days. S-E-L gives the music for this film. Its very rare that they give a weak soundtrack like this, except for this single track in the whole movie. You'll like it right from the start, a proper romantic duet. The lyrics are really sweet.

Tune Jo Na Kaha - Mohit Chauhan
With all the lifting controversy surrounding Hai Junoon track, I guess this track is not getting the publicity it needs. Its really well sung by Mohit, he tries to bring out all the emotions. The lyrics are perfect for the film's theme. " jaane kiski hamein lag gayi hai nazar, is shahar mein na apna thikana raha, door chahat se apni chalta raha..."
