'Alvida Reprise' is another treat that's in store for the lovers of hard rock but "Hindi style". The two versions are basically the same, with the only difference being how they have been rendered. K. K. is very musically correct and even in the crescendo his vocals never falter. Whereas James, like a true rock star, engulfs the listeners with his sheer energy. His vocals may falter at the high pitch, his diction may be bad (given that he can hardly speak Hindi properly), yet one simply falls in love with his singing. After enthralling us with 'Bheegi-Bheegi Si'('Gangster'), he is back once again to capture the hearts of music lovers.
Flute notes, bagpipes, soothing sitar, organ sounds and an absolutely delightful background chorus form a perfect backdrop for this lovely Adnan Sami love ballad 'Baatein Kuch Ankahee Si'. Adnan is loveable as always and has done full justice to the number. Credit must be given to Pritam as he chose just the right composition for Adnan, the sort with which his fans associate him with and love him for. Sandeep Shrivastava's lyrics are very typically filmy.
Organ sounds commence 'Kuch Baatein Ankahee Si' (unplugged), Suhail's sweet, youthful vocals come out loud and clear, as there's minimal musical arrangement in the background. There is just a hint of guitar and dominating organ sounds in between. Suhail's rendition is near perfect, he just needs to improve his diction. |
