Next is 'Tanhaiyaan', a trademark Himesh composition, that we critics, and a certain section of the listeners too have got tired of, but what to do? Himesh's fans love his style and that is what matters. So, if we can ignore the more than required extension to the word "Tanhaiyaan", pronounced in a very funny manner, it's a good enough number. The excellent theme music, this time in the form of Himesh's nasal crooning and Sunidhi's high-pitched opera-like singing, brings this song to a superb climax.
The super-fast use of synthesized music, along with the repeated "Tanhaiyaan" is not pleasant to the ears, though the upped tempo does manage to pep up 'Tanhaiyaan - Remix'.
Himesh is good, though Sunidhi who was excellent in the original, sounds funny as she sings in an anglicized accent in this brief version of 'Tanhaiyaan - Unplugged'.
Good controlled vocals by Sunidhi starts 'Ya Ali', though comparisons to Pritam's 'Ya Ali' (Gangster) is natural, at least Himesh's composition is his very own. This is where he scores, whereas Pritam's was plagiarised.
Except for similar sounding titles, the two compositions are as different as chalk and cheese. Though criticized for his singing to no avail, Himesh's instant switching from base to his usual nasal self proves once again that he has good control over his vocals, and knows what filmy singing is all about. Sunidhi too joins him in a high-pitch and is the perfect foil to Himesh in this intense love song.
Too much use of the synthesizer spoils the 'Ya Ali - Remix' by Akbar Sami but Sunidhi's low pitched and Himesh's high-pitched combination works well otherwise.
'Ya Ali - Electro-Mix', true to its name, this version is electrifying, be it the pace or the use of musical instruments. All these factors combine to make it a good dance track.
