The supposed to be soft, romantic duet "Tere Liye' falls flat as it turns to be a routinely average composition. The only saving graces are the lyrics by Sameer and of course the inspired singing by Udit and Alka.
The remixed version by Akbar Sami is also an ordinary effort, more like a space filler.
The last composition "Sache Aashiq", has Sukhwinder singing in his trademark high pitched style, "Dil lagane ki baatein karte ho, Kis zamane ki baatein karte ho." But Himesh must understand that all songs that have 'Shava Shava' 'Aaja Nachle ' and a few sprinklings of Punjabi words and 'bhangda' beats don't always make a chartbuster. While the rhythm and the singing is good, more because of the talent of the singers (Alka and Sukhwinder), the album concludes on a disappointing note.
On the whole, to say that the music of 'Shaadi Se Pehle' disappoints (barring a couple of tracks) would be an understatement. It is a pathetic compilation, especially as it comes from such a big team.
We would like to ask Himesh a question. If he reserves his best for Salman, Emraan and his own private albums, why bother to give music bank scores, especially for a maker (Subhash Ghai) who catapulted him into the top league with 'Aitraaz'? Maybe the Anu Malik (overwork) syndrome has finally got to him! One can only hope that the luck factor (currently in his favour) and the good publicity will make this album work. But for that we have to wait and watch.
