Jab We Met |
Its quite a unique start to the highly romantically charged 'Tum Se Hi'. The flow of the tune is very smooth and the background female vocals nice and unique. The musical arrangements (lovely electronic flutes, plates and beads) lend an air of romance, very essential in a love ballad. Mohit Chauhan, the lead singer of the famous Indi-pop group, Silk Route, has good base vocals, but the problem is that his vocals may not be fit for Shahid, who has a youthful voice. Maybe a Shaan or even a Soham Chakraborty would have been a better choice. Irshad Kamil's lyrics are classy. "Na hai paana, Na khona hi hai, Tera na hona, Jaane kyon hona hi hai, Tumse hi din hota hai, Surmai shaam aati hai, Tum Se Hi." A beautiful love ballad that could have been classified as a gem of a number, but the main problem is that the tune is in parts inspired from Celine Dion's chart topper from 'Titanic', "My heart will go on". And this in a way spoils the classy effect.
D.J. Sunil does a nice job with the 'Tum Se Hi-Remix'. Even though the pace and background vocals are quickened, Mohit Chauhan's vocals are not tampered with much, and the soft musical arrangements thankfully remain the same.
A beautiful electronic piece commences, the 'Tum Se Hi-Instrumental', then the female background female vocalists take over. Lovely massive orchestration, violin and guitar pieces all combine together to make a beautiful instrumental. The conclusion is simply fantastic, as the orchestration takes the shape of a wonderfully crafted Western musical symphony. A real treat for all music lovers. All throughout hearing this lovely instrumental, the only wish was that Pritam should refrain from his compulsive lifting/plagiarizing, as he is quite talented and doesn't need any inspirations as such. |
