Golmaal Returns |
Next up is 'Vacancy' which relies heavily on the chartbuster, Golmaal tune by Vishal Shekhar (from Golmaal – Fun Unlimited). Pritam has claimed that brand Golmaal is Vishal-Shekhar's and he pays his tribute to them by using their highly infectious title track and fusing it with another rocking, instantly likeable number. In fact, the catchy 'Golmaal' tune is the highlight of the track but Pritam has intelligently infused it with another catchy rhythm, so the blending of the tunes is in perfect harmony. The track is another winner for Pritam and a second hit song in a row for the album. Do not look for any melodies as 'Vacancy' is an out an out hip hop number, the sort we would attribute to V-S. Pritam once again uses his trump card, an easy flowing rhythm and an 'in vogue', English and Hindi lyrics combo and above all Neeraj Shridhar, whose services he utilizes to perfection in these types of tracks. Accompanying him here are other back up vocalists like Suhail, Benny Q, Suzy Q.
'Vacancy-Kilogram Mix' by K&G has great added beats that make the track even more interesting and suited once again for the clubs and discothèques.
One thought that the days of 'Ishq Kamina' and 'Kambhakhth Ishq' (thankfully!) were over but Pritam brings back the nostalgia with 'Tu Saala'. The composition has a tune that is very heard before but Anushka Manchanda needs to be commended for a free flowing, emotive rendition, at times over the top if one must add. The 'antara' carries the spirit of 'Ek Pardesi Mera Dil Le Gaya' although the heavy orchestra (especially bagpipe and trumpet) and the same usual rap tries to camouflage it. The song may cater to the front benchers.
'Tu Saala-Remix' is a pleasant one indeed as it does not take the regular 'scratch and screech'routine. |
