Music .... at this moment !!!!

There has been some really nice and catchy music thats hit the market in the recent past. Everyone is grooving away with Akshay Kumar to the foot tapping numbers of 'Bhool Bhulaiya' and also the music of 'Jab We Met' has some really nice numbers, especially 'Mauja Mauja' (awesomely sung by Mika), 'Yeh Ishq hai' (Shreya Ghoshal's surprisingly saucy avatar is a treat) and the soulful 'Tum Se Hi' ( really nice rendition by new singer, Mohit Chauhan). Over all makes 'Jab We Met' a quite a Paisa Vasool album with a little something for everyone.



Same is the case with Farah Khan's 'Om Shanti Om'. The album has some instantly likable numbers and then there is an out and out mass oriented track like 'Dard-e-Disco' which you can just not help but tap your feet to, especially with the heavily aggressive promotion that its being given [Shahrukh Khan's new muscled up physique being used to its full glory to attract more and more eyeballs to the theatre-Well nothing wrong with that now, is it!!!! ] :)
The other two tracks from OSO that make for some pleasant listening are 'Ajab Si' and 'Main Agar Kahoon'.




But lets talk about what I think is the best album to have hit the shelves of music stores this year- Sanjay Leela Bhansali's labor of love- 'Saawariya'. The music of Saawariya has been out in the market for quite some time now and its been steadily climbing the charts and not without reason. Its one of those pieces of work that make you feel like you are in the presence of pure genius. Sanjay leela Bhansali knows his stuff when it comes to music, and his music director for this film, Monty, is a great discovery by any standards. He worked on the background scores of the director's earlier films which were just a mere hint of what the man is capable of. You have to hear the music of 'Saawariya' to believe it. Almost every song has a freshness and beauty of a freshly painted canvas that just seems too precious to be meddled with. The first track of the album is a simple and breezy number sung quite ably by new singer Shail. An instantly likable and light number but somehow seems divorced from the sound and feel of the rest of the soundtrack. But I'd recommend that you directly skip to the other tracks as the first track will be thrown at you on every music channel and radio station anyway. There are 4 immensely beautiful numbers to be relished in the album- 'Jab Se Tere Naina','Masha-Allah', Daras Bina' and 'Thode Badmaash' (a track composed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali himself). But the best track of the entire album is without a doubt- 'Yoon Shabnami' sung by the first time singer Parthiv Gohil, and what a debut it is !!!! Its after a long time that there has come a song that has the ability to give goose flesh to the listener. Its pure magic....



Overall if you really want to experience pure unadulterated power of good music.... Invest in an Audio CD of 'Saawariya'. It'll be worth every penny you spend on it !!!!
