A never ending volume of pop-rap-techno-Turkish dance numbers! This one is about new sounds targeted for the youth! Now you get the essence of this review but there is more in ‘Garam Masala’. Pritam; the rocking music director after hits in ‘Dhoom’, ‘Chocolate’ and ‘Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena’ brings some fresh hits while Sameer assists in writing. Hey as always, there are some surprises! This one is hot, addictive and there is more!
+++ Ada by Sonu Nigam +++
SHOCKING NEWS UPDATE: ADA IS A MEGA LIFT! IT’S FROM AMR DIAB’S AMARAIN. SONG TITLE IS ANA! - 03/11/05
The beats are going strong and stronger backed by all these computer samples voices and Sonu Nigam fits perfectly in this Turkish flavour track. And yes don’t forget the English and rap parts which keep the momentum going with this catchy melody. I like this word ‘ada’. Last year, I found ‘Fanaa’ very funky. Pritam included all the club grooves targeting a clubbing audience but the track still has this Bollywood feel to it due to the tabla. Ensuring a high tempo all through till end, this one is sure to rock all charts!
+++ Ada Remix by DJ Suketu +++
DJ Suketu rocks, rocks and rocks! Aggressive grooves, uninterrupted beats and an addictive background will put this one high in charts as well. (Watch out for this word addictive, it’s repeated many times…)
+++ Chori Chori by Sukhwinder Singh, Hema Sardesai +++

SHOCKING NEWS! COPIED FROM ‘HAI RABBA’ FROM DR ZEUS, FEATURING THE VOCALS OF BALWINDER SAFRI (ESCAPE ALBUM)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If this one won’t make you shake your body, then there is something wrong! A definite floor thumper with an addictive Sukhwinder Singh. His voice is so catchy that you can feel the energy when he’s singing. Bhangra-pop with a lot of guitar movements creating a never ending rhythm. However, this bhangra is a direct lift! What more can I say on that!
+++ Chori Chori by Labh Jajua (Punjabi MC) +++
Same as the above but Punjabi MC has style! Rocking and electrifying! Never put the volume down while listening to this one! However, still a copy. Pritam is taking the lead in copying these days. (Will write more on Pritam in another review)
+++ Kiss Me Baby by Adnan Sami +++
I was jumping in excitement while listing to this one. No I am not crazy but it’s just that this album is getting better and better. Adnan Sami strikes the right chord on this one like if, he is singing for his own album. It’s catchy, addictive (am addicted to this word now!) and packed with a groovy and club mix atmosphere. Adnan goes beyond his habits and even moans ‘Oumaaaaaah’. This guy is really excited and Pritam ensures quirky keyboard sounds and electronic sounds.
+++ Falak Dekhun by Sonu Nigam +++
- Lyrics by Mayur Puri -
‘Falak Dekhun’ are pleasing words really. When was the last time we got two nice words to start a song? This Sonu Nigam track is more dance oriented with once again a Turkish- Middle-East flavour but the background is techno. The energy level is not the same but it’s a quite passable number with all the electronic sounds and computerized vocals.
+++ Falak Dekhun by Udit Narayan +++
- Lyrics by Mayur Puri -
It is one of these songs I would like to sing while on a long drive with a romantic girl. The music is lovely with deepness in this melody and Udit Narayan makes me dream more about this superb track. It is one of the tracks that you can’t resist singing. The whistling, the romantic guitars and an interesting instrumentation backed by this soft voice make ‘Falak Dekhun’ a true gem. Highly recommended for music lovers!

SHOCKING NEWS: OPENING TRACK AND TUNE PARTLY INSPIRED BY TARKAN’S 2001 SINGLE KUZU KUZU!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Viju Shah had ‘Saat Samundar’ and it rocked and even now the remixes are doing well. Here we have Pritam’s version, which he has openly copied the start from Tarkan. How can he do that? He arranges the tune to suit his style and then makes the talented KK to sing that. Anyway, KK did a great job! You can feel the Turkish flavour to this one while he throws a lot of Latina guitars and electronic sounds. He excels in orchestration and pulsing sounds. A definite winner as well!
‘Garam Masala’ will sell! All songs will keep up awake and make you shake your body. With all dance numbers and funky beats, this album also brings a lot of Turkish flavour in Bollywood. The words ‘Garam Masala’ are repeated in all these tracks and the singers also performed so well. The only sad thing is about these two lifts and also melody. It’s more focused on catchy rhythms and beats. If you are looking for something groovy, fizzy and trendy, pick up this one!
