Teri Meri Kahaani - My Music Review

Teri Meri Kahaani - Music Review!
Teri Meri Kahaani : -Music - Sajid-Wajid. Lyrics - Prasoon Joshi


Teri Meri Kahaani is an average (possibly below average) album. Only 2 songs are really very good & rest of them are mere gap-fillers. I might sound harsh but Sajid-Wajid are expected to deliver better music. Afterall their debut album Deewana (Sung by Sonu Nigam) was a runaway hit & was way too melodious. Teri Meri Kahaani is a typical contemporary bollywood album that is not very appealing in terms of melody. Below is the music review of Teri Meri Kahaani. Please don't mind if it contradicts your opinion.

1. Mukhtasar : - Singer - Wajid.
Electronic Piano tunes open the opening track of album. This one is catchy right from the beginning. Wajid sings in his usual way. Orchestration is heavy & compliments the song very well. Lyrics by Prasoon Joshi are good. Tune is really good. Based on typical club beats. Quite likeable piece of music. Wajid's voice sounds very fresh & provides some change as his vocal texture is different from contemporary singers. Best song of the album.
 
2. Allah Jaane : - Singer - Rahat Fateh Ali Khan.
When Rahat Saahab sings something, its got to be good. Allah Jaane is no exception. A typical sufi song that describes love in simple words. Composition is good. Lyrics are simple & effective. Some pain is there in the tunes. A good song to listen to. Go for it.

3. Jabse Mere Dil Ko Uff : - Singers - Sonu Nigam & Sunidhi Chauhan.
Sonu & Sunidhi sing their heart out in this full-on energy, foot-tapping song. Might sound like Amit Trivedi's work if orchestration is considered. Very retro feel. Singers have done a good job to up the level of a mediocre composition. Not very impressive. Tune is interesting but still I didn't find it catchy enough. When we have tuneful Allah Jaane & Mukhatasar, we can expect better music in the album. Might grow on you if given repeated hearings. 

4. Humse Pyaar Kar Le Tu : - Singers - Wajid, Mika Singh, Shreya Ghoshal, Aftab Hashim Sabri & Shabab Sabri.
Not sure whether to like this or not, but it sure is interesting. I don't think I will have this song on my phone (that I use most of the time to listen to music & hence I keep only choicest of songs!). It's a typical kawwaali number that has nothing new to offer. It consists of "typed" Sajid-Wajid tunes. Again an average song.

5. That's All I Really Wanna Do : - Singers - Shaan & Shreya Ghoshal.
A typical Shaan number. Fun-filled, peppy & likeable. Though, its not quite melodious or artistic. Orchestration is interesting. Shreya sounds good, as usual, but doesn't have much to offer in this. Not an outstanding composition. Just an okay stuff. Not catchy enough. You'll start humming the lines That's All I Really Wanna Do in a few hearings, though!

6. Mukhtasar (Remix) : -
Music wise its just similar to the original. When we already had a beat-driven, foot-tapping version, I don't think a remix was needed. Original version is better, though is not very different.

7. Humse Pyaar Kar Le Tu (Remix): -
When original is no good, I don't expect remix to be good either. Same holds true here. Wasn't needed at all. Not good. Avoidable.

My pick(s) - Mukhtasar & Allah Jaane. 
That's All I Really Wanna Do & Jabse Mere Dil Ko Uff also sound good if not best!

Songs To Tell Your Love She Is Beautiful - My Favorites

Your girl is beautiful. You like her everything. Her eyes, face, smile, the way she speaks, the way she walks & what not? Today, I present a list of a few songs (both Hindi & English) that just beautifully describe HER beauty. It of course, is in my opinion & may not necessarily excite you. Like I always say, give songs their time to grow on you. Don't write it off straight away.  I am not including James Blunt's You're Beautiful as I have not heard that song properly. Also, Chaudahvin Ka Chaand doesn't feature here since am not very much into old songs. So, below is the list of my favourite songs that I hear to praise her beauty, in no particular order. 1. Main Agar Kahoon (Om Shanti Om) - Sonu Nigam & Shreya Ghoshal. Main agar kahoon tumsa haseen, kaaynaat mein nahin hai kahin, taareef ye bhi to sach mein kuchh bhi nahin. No need to explain anything. She indeed is beautiful & this song seconds that. 2. Ek Ladki To Dekh

Hindi Songs With Key-change!

Probably the first post of its kind (once again)! This very post talks about key-change in Hindi songs. What is a key-change all about? Well, click the link in the line above & listen to the songs there. You will notice a sudden change in sound towards the end. That's key-change for you. While most of the western-style music relies on it (not necessarily), its a rare phenomena in Hindi songs just like this . If you're keen listener, you'll be able to feel the difference in sound aka the key! Below are such very few Hindi songs. 1. Chup Chup Ke - Movie:- Rush | Music: - Pritam 2. Hum Sey - Movie:- Humse Hai Jahan | Music:- Siddharth - Suhas Siddharth - Suhas are known for their Rock influenced music & vocalist Suraj Jaggan, too, is known for his Rock influenced vocals. Powerful voice, though melody doesn't impress much. Lyrics are cliched as well. But I like it for that KEY-CHANGE! 3. Tum Ho Mera Pyaar - Movie:- Haunted 3D | Music:- Chirantan B

Axwell Λ Ingrosso - Dreamer

Swedish duo  Axwell Λ Ingrosso ( who were 2/3rd of legendary Progressive House trio Swedish House Mafia ) made their comeback in 2014 with a new single called Something New . I am not counting the debut EP X4 here. Something New quickly became my top favourite & I still consider it the best track they have ever produced. I can even say Something New is one of my all-time favourites across all the genres. But this post is not about Something New . It is about something new ;) So, I am talking about their another single Dreamer from their debut album More Than You Know . I first heard the song when I was on my first Europe trip & it is one of the reasons why I love this song so much. It is hard for me not to associate music with time! There is an interesting story about it.  Axwell Λ Ingrosso released a teaser of Dreamer during Amsterdam Dance Event 2016 ( ADE ) at Heineken Music Hall. And since the song is dramatically catchy & it also reminded people of good
