Ishkq In Paris - Music Review


Music by: Sajid-Wajid

It's All About Tonight starts with the heavy techno club beats which are groovy and catchy but gets spoilt by Sunidhi Chauhan sounding very amateurish in her entry. The beats and Rahul Vaidya's brief lines are the high points of the song. The french lines are deceptively interesting as they definitely put the Paris in the song.

Seriously, RFAK and Mamta Sharma needs to be more choosy when it comes to there songs. They all somehow end up sounding the same. What's worst is this Saiyaan by RFAK has another Saiyaan twin in HEROINE with RFAK giving the rendition again. As for the song, its somber and slow paced with a desi electronic guitar touch which changes into a full out sufi type song. The change doesn't really appeal much but RFAK sounds great.

Jaane Bhi De is a refreshing duet by Sonu Nigam and Sunidhi Chauhan. The constant light guitar as well as the piano melody is very relaxing and allows you to absorb the beautiful voices of both singers. The song does get a bit long as the composition doesn't really change much as it progresses. The solo by Wajid is okay so I would recommend the duet.

Teri Choodiyan Crazy Crazy Sound is your typical Punjabi dance song. Wajid is very much autotuned in this song but it doesn't matter as the song is somewhat decently catchy. Again variety would've been nice in the composition instead the same dholak template is looped in the background.

Kudiyan Ki Kurti is the best of the album. Yes this one actually has some variety in its Punjabi flavored beats. The flute fanfare is pretty catchy as well as the background vocals. I wished the tempo was a bit faster as it seems too slow to be an item song. I recommend a remix by someone ASAP because like the song says I LOVE BOLLYWOOD!

Overall, no real chartbuster but Kudiyan Di Kurti, Jaane Bhi De, And Tonight are worth a listen.

It's All About Tonight - Sunidhi Chauhan, Sophie Choudry, Rahul Vaidya 7/10
Saiyaan - Rahat Fateh Ali Khan 5/10
Jaane Bhi De - Sonu Nigam, Sunidhi Chauhan 6/10
Teri Choodiyan Da Crazy Crazy Sound - Wajid 4/10
Kudiyan Di Kurti - Sonu Nigam & Shreya Ghoshal 7/10

Overall: 5.80/10

Kismet Love Paisa Dilli - Music Review


Music by: Amjad Nadeem, Santokh Singh

Dhishkiyaon starts with much fanfare by the cacophony of flutes. The rhythm of the song is smooth and medium paced. The rhyming of the lyrics is catchy to lips especially the chorus line. Some bits of it reminds me of "Aage Peeche" from GOLMAAL but that may be because the instruments are the same.

Now Appy Budday lifts the electronic guitar portions from "Bali" from SHAITAN. The singing by Santokh Singh is very baritone and matches the Punjabi hip-hop tune. The special sounds that weave in the background of the song interestingly done for example the drips of water? LOL. The desi version is a bit more classical despite the heavy electronic guitar. I would go with the original since the classical doesn't really fit the deliverance of the lyrics.

So if you thought, 'Oh God, another desi item song with Mamta song' well you're right. I'm a sucker for item songs so I will always like them. Nothing really new here in Jugaad, Sukhwinder Singh and Mamta Sharma, make a good duo. The chorus is nicely done by Sukhwinder. I must say though I don't like this song more than Mamta's last song "Desi Mem" in KAMAAL DHAMAAL MALAMAAL.

The last song is Don't Fuff My Mind aka the title song. The song starts off pretty basic but grows on you once the solos of the instruments are give. Mika Singh sounds a bit more energized after the bagpipe interlude but then the song goes back to sounding too basic. This could be blamed to the chorus being strangely weak. The remix is okay, nothing to praise.

Overall, a surprisingly decent catchy album by Amjad Nadeem and Santokh Singh.

Dhishkiyaon - Sonu Nigam, Ritu Pathak 8/10
Appy Budday (Videshi) - Santokh Singh 7/10
Jugaad - Sukhwinder Singh, Mamta Sharma 6/10
Don't Fuff My Mind - Mika Singh, Vivek Oberoi 6/10
Appy Budday (Desi) - Santokh Singh
Don'T Fuff My Mind (Remix) - Mika Singh, Vivek Oberoi

Overall: 6.75/10
