Beats and Beyond

Tiger Shroff returns to show off his dancing skills, yet again. So that is the only expectation from this album - good catchy dance numbers. Without wasting much time, let us get started! Album Release Date: 21st June 2017 (Click on the song title to listen to it on Saavn) Main Hoon Music Composer: Tanishk Bagchi Singers: Siddharth Mahadevan Lyrics: Kumaar This is such a narcissistic song. This song has an electronic music. I was listening to this song passively and all I can remember is the self-appreciating chorus. These two pointers made me go and watch the video and thus I can safely infer that this is a dance number and not a listen-to song. Ding Dang Music Composer: Javed - Mohsin Singers: Amit Mishra, Antara Mitra Lyrics: Danish Sabri, Sabbir Khan Hahahahaha. I am laughing so hard at the chorus right now. This is one of those songs with weird lyrics. If you enjoyed the lyrics of  Breakup Song (Ae Dil Hai Mushkil)  then you wi...

I am not so much interested in the movie. The only reason I chose to listen to this album was Sachin-Jigar. I've been a big fan of their music. Do I have high expectations from this album? Well, it's conflicting - Tiger Shroff movie makes me question my expectation but I also know that Sachin-Jigar will not compromise.  So, without further ado, let's get into it and see if this album can set it's songs flying like the Jatt himself or falls flat on the ground Listen on Saavn: Listen to A-Flying-Jatt-2016 on Saavn (Click on the song title to play it in YouTube) A Flying Jatt - Title Track Lyrics : Vayu & Raftaar Singers : Raftaar, Mansheel Gujral, Tanishkaa  I like this song. Period. Now let's get into one thing that bothered me. I understand this song is dedicated to the kids (even though lyrics have alcohol references), but a 8-year old girl (Tanishkaa) singing the following lines is just wrong - "Flying jatt mera BFF hai,  Aur iklot...

The movie is releasing this Friday. Pirated copy is already available online. The entire music album was released just last week. With how many songs? FOUR. Mehh!! Alright, without further ado, let's get into it and see if there's any masti available in its songs. Listen on Saavn: Listen to Great-Grand-Masti-2016 on Saavn (Click on the song title to play it in YouTube) Teri Kamar Ko Music Director: Sanjeev-Darshan Lyrics: Kumaar Singers: Sanjeev Rathod, Darshan Rathod, Kanika Kapoor The focus of this song is the vocals and hence most of the beats are suppressed. The chorus loop is quite catchy but is a tongue twister and difficult to memorize :P That's the only good part about the song. I wish female portions were equally naughty and catchy too and not as dumb as "Darling pehle gaadi mein ghuma,  Darling ik diamond dila,  Darling mummy-daddy se mila,  Phir jo bhi chahe kar le " Resham Ka Rumaal Music Director: Sharib-Toshi Lyr...

Over the last few months I've reviewed a lot of Bollywood music albums. However, I've missed a lot more albums that had really good music. So in my this series of posts I will catch up on those albums. Music reviews are time sensitive and hence my aim has always been to write music reviews as close to the music album release as possible. The reason being, once the movie approaches its release date, people tend to forget about music and care more about the movie. A lot of my readers asked me to review some albums which were released way back in April and hence this is my music review catch up for all the music albums released in April and May. Over a period of time, I wish to reduced the frequency of music review catch up and write a full-fledged reviews for every album released. So without further ado, let's get started! Pick of the individual albums are highlighted in RED Nil Battey Sannata Music Director: Rohan-Vinayak Listen on Saavn Listen to Nil-Battey-Sannat...

Finally..!! I've been waiting for this album for a long time. Why you may ask? Because Amit Trivedi. He is one of my favorite music composers. What I really like is that it takes a couple of repeated listening to truly understand the feel of the song and its musical intricacies. My review below will be unbiased by the fact that I am a Amit Trivedi fan  and will be biased towards good music. *fingers crossed* Mehh! I know good music follows below this. Listen to Udta-Punjab-2016 on Saavn *2 hours and 3 listenings later* Chitta Ve Singer: Babu Haabi, Shahid Mallya, Bhanu Pratap Lyrics: Shellee This is an addiction. The song I meant - well the stuff this song talks about is also an addiction. I think this is the first time I've heard narration in a song as lyrics. The introductory rap portions in the song provides a glimpse of how an addict behaves while the rest of the song highlights the effects of chitta ve and the situation of addicted people in Pun...

Until 2013, Himesh had been singing all the songs in the films where he played the lead role. Which by the number of albums is very few, but the number of songs that he would accommodate in these albums was huge (Yes, pointing towards Aap Kaa Surroor, Karzzzz and Radio with 9 songs each). With Xpose, he let go off a few songs to Mohammad Irfan Ali and Ankit Tiwari but maintained his trademark with number of songs in that album (18 to be precise including a Mashup). Fast forward to 2016, Himesh Reshammiya is back with what sounds like a sequel to Aap Ka Surroor but doesn't look so. In fact, if you take it in literal sense Himesh refused to give any respect to her surroor this time - from Aap Ka to Teraa . The number of songs too have surprisingly reduced to 7. Listen to Teraa-Surroor-2016 on Saavn Before starting let me make a confession - Father I have sinned, I am a Himesh Reshammiya fan. My review below though, will be unbiased by this fact and will be biased toward...
