Narendra Bajaj and Shyam Bajaj's musical blockbuster 'Aksar' had the Himesh-Emraan combination rocking the nation with 'Jhalak Dhikhla Ja'. Maybe the fact that Himesh became too busy, prompted them to go for Mithoon, who by now has proved himself as a very competent composer. This incidentally will be Mithoon's first film album as a solo composer (and also as a singer). And if his previous compositions are anything to go by, this album will definitely be classy. So let us check out what our young, musical genius has in store for us music buffs.

The album kick starts with the rock 'n' rolling, upper market, club dance track 'Woh Ajnabee'. The tune is infectious, the rhythm deadly and musical arrangements par excellence. So all you music buffs out there, who thought Mithoon was just a good music composer, hear him sing this track. His base, youthful, slightly nasal vocals are a treat and they gel well with the unique, husky vocals of Shilpa Rao, who can be called the new Usha Uthup of the music industry.

Sayeed Quadri's lyrics about a stranger who becomes an integral part of the lives of the lead protagonists, also deserves applause. Shilpa Rao's repeated 'Woh Ajnabee' irritates, otherwise the club mix by Akbar Sami is well done. The enhanced pace is just right and not much change is done to the infectious rhythm of the original.
