`Chiggy Wiggy` is a fun track with equal time for both singers to shine!

‘Bebo’ is Nadeem-Shravan’s reply to Anu Malik’s naughty number in Kambakkht Ishq. If Anu Malik, after 30 years in the industry, can still make everyone hum ‘Bebo’, then Nadeem-Shravan is not going to sit quietly and watch. Vashu Bhagnani has roped in Sachin-Jigar to arrange the track with some upbeat sounds. Who wins the ‘Bebo’ competition? That’s up to the audience! Both songs are mixed by the talented Eric Pillai (Future Sound of Bombay)

Neeraj Shridhar and Anushka Manchanda simply rock! Bebo is also an interesting song all the way with an edgy sound. Of course, each song has been composed for a specific situation. Who’s next with the ‘Bebo’ title? It would be interesting to see what A.R Rahman and Himesh Reshammiya can do with ‘Bebo’, if the opportunity arises?

Sharib-Toshi, after delivering one of the best soundtracks of this year; Jashn, returns to their trademark soulful melody in `Vaada Raha`. Toshi is again superb in his rendition of the title song. The only minus point is the chorus singing ‘I Promise’ in the background. After the super hit ‘Maahi’ in Raaz - The Mystery Continues, it seems that Sharib-Toshi knows what they are doing. The director Samir Karnik, who earlier worked with Himesh Reshammiya in Nanhe Jaisalmer (with the child theme in the story), has a good ear for music.

Amit Trivedi is the current generation of talented music composers and he re-iterates the fact again with his soulful composition titled ‘Iktara’ in this Shankar-Eshaan-Loy soundtrack. Stuck at number 4 in the CD, the composer showcases that a number in the CD sleeve does not matter as long as the song is good! With the talented Kavita Seth in her usual avatar and Amitabh Bhattacharya providing the exceptional male vocals, ‘Iktara’ is a pleasant four minute journey; with plenty of good vibes! The semi-classical genre mixed with soft-rock is another winning formula. Listen to the long synthesizer music nearing the end of the song. Simply fantastic!

There is no stopping for Himesh Reshammiya. From the man with the cap to a new stylish hair style, the music director-singer-actor has seen a lot of ups and downs since he rocked the world with Aashiq Banaya Aapne. Those who wrote him off after the failure of Karzzzz are watching him carefully again. Back with an interesting concept in Radio, the soundtrack sees the music director at his best.

The romantic duo of Shreya Ghoshal and Himesh Reshammiya, which started with the title song of Aashiq Banaya Aapne and `Tere Mera Milna` in Aap Kaa Surroor is back with a series of lovely ballads. ‘Koi Na Koi Chahe’ is another beautiful and soothing number, filled with melody.

Sohail Sen defies all odds and produces a fresh soundtrack, in synch with the theme of the movie. Comparisons do not need to be made, as each music director has a different background and approaches composing in another angle. Nevertheless, the young music director composes fresh and youthful songs, where everyone can connect so easily.

‘Jao Na’ relies heavily on the guitar riffs which are played amazingly in the background and the melodious interludes. And Sohail Sen, as the singer, is brilliant. The orchestration is near perfect, with an increasing emphasis on the crisp guitar, while he renders the high notes! No need to mention how he blends the piano into the song. Highly recommended!
