Alka Yagnik is definitely the best female playback singer today. Never mind the Sunidhi Chauhans, the Shreya Ghosals, .
Every fan of her knows(or should know) that she always sings the best for Nadeem- Shravan. Selecting just five songs from her numerous blockbusters is anything but easy. But I did try to select. They are:
- Der Se Hua Par Pyaar To Hua(Solo)
( Hum Ho Gaye Aapke)
(Music: Nadeem-Shravan)(Lyrics:Sameer)
Pure magic this one. This song fills my heart with joy. The song I always listen to whenever my mood is off. Bet most of u wouldnt have heard of this song/movie. Alka is at her best. So are Nadeem-Shravan and Sameer. Simple lyrics/soothing music/soothing voice. All these combine to give one of the best romantic songs EVER(Yes. EVER).
- Zindagi Ko Bina Pyaar Koi Kaise Guzaare(Solo)
(Haan. Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya)
(Music: Nadeem-Shravan)(Lyrics: Sameer)
Again, a deadly combination makes this song a masterpiece. This song asks how one can live without love. Sameer doesnt know about me then. Lol. Alka is excellent.
3. Aksar Is Duniya Mein(Solo)
(Dhadkan)
(Music: Nadeem-Shravan)(Lyrics: Sameer)
Yep. Again the same combo. The music is enchanting. Alka is terrific throughout but is awesome when she goes aa. aa. aaaa. aaaaaaaaa .aa. towards the end of the song.
- Aapke Pyaar Mein(Solo)
(Raaz)
(Music:Nadeem-Shravan)(Lyrics:Sameer)
Haunting music matches Alkas voice perfectly. Alka deserved a Filmfare for this one(and Nadeem-Shravan too.). Another great romantic song.
- Ek Din Zindagi(with Kumar Sanu)
(Yes Boss)
(Music: Jatin-Lalit)(Lyrics: Sameer)
This song really brings peace to the mind. Its the opening song of the movie. I always make it a point to see this song whenever this movie is scheduled to be shown. Too good to be missed.
Just missed:
- Kitna Paagal Dil Hai(Solo)
(Andaaz)
(Music: Nadeem-Shravan)(Lyrics: Sameer)
- Tu Shayar Hai(Solo)
(Saajan)
(Music: Nadeem-Shravan)(Lyrics: Sameer)
3. Dekha Hai Pehli Baar(with S P Balasubramaniam)
(Saajan)
(Music: Nadeem-Shravan)(Lyrics: Sameer)
- Panchi Nadiyan Pawan Ke Jhoke(with Sonu Nigam)
((Refugee)
(Music: Anu Malik)(Lyrics: Javed Akhtar)
- Dil Ne Yeh Kaha Hai Dil Se(with Sonu Nigam)(with Kumar Sanu and Udit Narayan)
(Dhadkan)
(Music: Nadeem-Shravan)(Lyrics: Sameer)
AND LOTS MORE.
Comments and Ratings eagerly awaited.
