Its time again for the lovers of classy (not classical) and quality music to sit up and take notice, as the versatile genius, Vishal Bhardwaj is back to rule our hearts and the charts through his music. That too in an out and out romantic and commercial venture, which is quite unlike the previous movies that he has composed for (Maachis, Maqbool, Omkara, No Smoking and The Blue Umbrella). The reason being that this album gives him ample scope to showcase his hitherto untapped musical potential.
All credit to Ajay Devgan for providing him with the opportunity and showing faith in his Omkara director, Vishal's musical capabilities. And why not? Even in dark, foreboding and macabre (though cinematically brilliant) films like Maqbool and Omkara, Vishal showed to the world that composing music is just not a hobby, but a passion, as is film making. His 'Beedi' is still highly popular and can be heard in all dance shows and parties. So with a whole lot of expectations let us check out the highly anticipated U, Me Aur Hum album.
Latino (Spanish) influences pervade the atmosphere with nice heel clicking sounds, accompanied by some passionate Spanish/Italian singing (a throwback to the Bachchan oldie 'Do Lafzon Ki Hai' from The Great Gambler) heralds the delightfully romantic 'Jee Le'. It is a superbly composed dance track (Salsa like) that has such an infectious, rollicking rhythm that it can persuade even a person with two left feet to jive. A lovely start, then the rhythm picks up pace smoothly, reaching an amazing crescendo, with some lovely single string guitar strumming and a violin piece is absolutely mind-blowing.
Adnan is simply mind-blasting, as he puts in all the effort and comes out trumps. The singer has disappointed of late, but it appears that it was the fault of the composers who made him to do same routine stuff. Whenever given something different he has always performed. Remember his philosophical 'Mera Jahaan' from Taare Zameen Par? But the weak link here is surprisingly Shreya Ghoshal, who puts in a professional performance, but appears ill at ease. Maybe a Sunidhi or any other singer with an English accent would have complemented Adnan's husky, slightly inebriated vocals, better. The lyricist Munna Dhiman deserves a mention for the lovey-dovey lyrics capable of immersing the die-hard romantics in their own dream world. "Jinko jinko bhi milna hai likha, Ishq milwayega, Door door se dhund dhund ke paas le aayega, Kahin bhi ja ke chhupo, Ishq wahin aayega, Kitna bhi na na karo, Utha ke le jayega, Mano ya na mano, Yeh saari hi duniya isi ke dam pe chale, Jee Le jee le. Fantastic writing! All these factors combine together make it an excellent number first up. |
