I have never been a great fan, when it comes to re-mix songs and music. I have always feel they degrade the quality of master piece. But I have always noticed younger generation who liked fast music and loud band playing have always appreciated that and it is also very popular outside India. Older generation have always criticized that as they have always liked slow music.
But my views regarding re-mix music changed, when I listened to the re-mix song from Jhankaar Beats; Hamein Tumse Pyaar Kitna. For the first time I felt that re-mix can be good and you can actually enjoy the old songs with new music. All the lyrics for this album has been written by Vishal Dedlani and music is given by Vishal and Shekher. I have personally never heard about these names before and it is very much possible that I have lost touch with new artist coming in the Industry but if they are new comers, then I should say they have done excellent job, not only in writing lyrics but also in providing suitable music.
Songs in the album which I liked are:
1) Boss Koun Hai, Malum Hai Kya
It’s a very hilarious song, giving tribute to S.D. Burman. It has been very well sung by Amit Kumar, Vishal and Shekhar.
2) Hamein Tumse Pyaar Kitna
It’s a re-mix song with excellent music and singers Amit Kumar, KK and Chorus have done very good job in singing that gem with new music.
3) Pehele To Bombay Tha, Mumbai Ho Gaya
Very nice song, criticizing the change of names of the cities but also stressing changing the name has not changed the lifestyle of Bombay. This song is sung by Udit Narayan and Chorus.
4) Dil Ne Tum Ko Chun Liya Hai, Tum Bhi Isko Chunno Na Very nice slow romantic love song and very well sung by Shaan.
There are other songs in the album which are also good but these are my favorites. Overall I rate this album very good and would suggest you carry this CD or Cassette when you go for long drives.
Enjoy the music.
