Not many remember Ahmed Khan's first directorial venture 'Lakeer', but its lovely, melodious music by A. R. Rahman still lingers in the minds of music lovers. For his next, Ahmed now has the backing of one of the most benevolent producers of recent times, Firoz Nadiadwala, known for his huge multi-starrers like 'Awara Pagal Deewana', 'Deewane Hue Pagal', amongst others. Both the above mentioned films had some commercially successful music by Annu Malik, so it comes as a surprise to see Himesh as the composer of 'Fool N Final'. Once again, a big banner has favoured Himesh leaving aside Annu Malik, sad but true.
Let's now get on to the album and check out if it's the same old Himesh. Or do we get to hear something new, keeping the Nadiadwala tradition of big entertainment alive and kicking?
Looks like we are right on dot with the first composition of the album 'Tere Layee', as this number along with different sounds has a new start. A departure from Himesh's all-familiar nasal crooning and even the background chorus is in the form of rap vocals by Arya and Ganjawala's alternate-crooning (instead of Himesh), which will be loved by all who have become tired of Himesh. Kunal's dew fresh vocals suit Shahid's youthful voice. The track is a light, breezy love song. Himani sings in a slightly base voice, which matches Ganjawala perfectly.
