After the super hit musical score of 'Gangster', Anurag Basu and Pritam team up once again for UTV Motion Pictures' 'Metro'. But this time Pritam is not alone. He is joined by his friends, and the group has been fondly christened "Band Metro". It is a musical super group featuring Pritam Chakraborty as the composer, Soham, Suhail and James as the vocalists and Eric Pillai as the mixing guru. The above mentioned band members need no introductions, as they all are names to reckon with in their respective fields. With so much talent brought together, expectations from this album soar. So without wasting any more time, let's check out the audio.
Soham Chakraborty's sharp, crystal clear vocals commence 'In Dino', a love track that has the capability of sweeping the die-hard romantics off their feet. This is not a typical mushy number, as it's slightly on the rock 'n' roll side. The background orchestration abounds with electric guitar, plates, drums and of course Niladri Kumar's finest invention the zitar, which is the electric sitar. Wonder why no other musician ever thought of this before! It lends an air of class to the composition. Syed Quadri, whose pen has spelled magic in many of Mahesh Bhatt movie albums, has done an excellent job as usual. His lyrics, in simple every day spoken Urdu-Hindi, make it easy for a commoner to relate to. There was absolutely no need to violate this beautiful love song, but keeping the youth factor in mind and how crucial they are to the success of an album (especially if it is as classy as this one), Bunty Rajput has succeeded with this motive in the other version, 'In Dino Revisited'.
Easily, the best track of the album is 'Alvida'. It has been rendered by two of the finest artists of our times, our very own K.K. and the singing sensation from Bangladesh, James. Pritam sure has picked the right people for this job. K.K., right from 'Tadap Tadap Ke' ('Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam') has showed that no one can surpass him when it comes to high pitched singing, and with 'Alvida' he proves it once again. The crescendo in the end, where he goes "Alvida, Alvida" is simply superb, and he sings like a seasoned rock-star.
