Heyy Babyy

'Heyy Babyy', featuring the Girl Band from Australia, commences with canned applause, suggesting it to be stage performance. The much talked about all English version is definitely worth its weight in gold. The English lyrics are penned by Anvita Dutt Guptan. The Girl Band give a stellar performance in terms of singing. One must also mention Akbar Sami for doing a fabulous makeover, as far as musical arrangements are concerned, so much so that it appears to be a totally new composition, with only the basic tune and rhythm being the same.

Tinkling payal (anklet) sounds and harmonium commences the all romantic track 'Dholna', which features thrice in the album. While one is just a space-filler, one of the other two is the remixed version. Let us first check out the original. On first hearing, this love ballad appears to be an average composition, but does manage to win the heart, because of its simple arrangements and also due to Sonu and Shreya, the best singers, as far as romantic numbers are concerned. They vibe so well that they succeed in redeeming this number to an extent. This song is more in the Jatin-Lalit style - simple musical arrangements and a whole lot of melody, the mantra to the J-L success story! And S-E-L follow that perfectly with 'Dholna'.

'Dholna –Love Is In The Air Remix', by DJ Whosane, is for all those who do not like to keep things simple! The rather sedate, relaxed paced original is spiced up with some English parts like, "love is in the air", "makes my world go round" and "feels good" etc. Thankfully, the soft, romantic feel of the song has not been polluted much with rubbish stuff, like rap etc, the kind that we are so used to hearing in remixes.
