Jannat
Music Director - Pritam
Pritam is back and this time, with a few fresh voices and an extra dose of Kay Kay. The album promises to be a good one and with the Bhatt banner to help support marketing; it is sure to do well too!
The album begins with Door Na Ja by Rana Mazumdar. This track is a very touching song that will leave anyone yearning for a repeat listen. Mazumdar with his soft, convincing and melodious voice has done full justice to the song. The vocals blend brilliantly with the music which itself is loud yet appealing. The brilliant lyrics complement this track too. Overall, a sureshot successful track that will definitely stay with the audience for a long time.
Haan Tu Hai by Kay Kay follows next. This is a romantic number which sounds quite good after Door Na Ja. It is heavy with Qawwali touches along with the classy ambience created by the guitar. It sounds more like a casual jugal-bandi between the two instruments! Kay Kay has once again proved his mettle through his vocals for this song, thus setting the mood right. The lyrics aren't really remarkably different. Had it not been for Kay Kay, this track would not have been as memorable.
The next is Jannat Jahan by Rupam Islam, the lead vocalist of Indian Bengali rock band makes his debut in Bollywood with this song. The track is a good mix of a number of instruments adding to the overall sound effect.The lyrics are brilliant, adding to the lure of the song. Rupam no doubt proves to be a very powerful singer with this song and keeps up with the pace of the music at all times. The song also happens to be the title track, dealing with various aspects of the movie and will definitely go on to be a major contributor to the success of the movie.
Next is Judai by Kamran Ahmed, lead vocalist of the rock group 82-rockers. While the first part of the song sounds like an inspired track, the latter part is quite contemporary in its appeal. This track has been composed, written and sung by Kamran himself and is quite a pleasantly surprising track. The music is outstanding and is likely to appeal to younger listeners. The lyrics also make good sense! This is one sure chartbuster track.
The Judai Kilogram Mix is yet another blessed track. Never before was I happy to listen to the same track composed differently. The kilogram mix is simply for party goers with the beats and music getting rock-on to the floor and making music listening and enjoying pleasurable.
Richa Sharma follows with Lambi Judai. Good track, well composed and basically sung well too. This is just the female version of the track Judai but a well composed female version. The Punjabi segment in the track is what makes the track stand out and sound different. Sharma's voice sounds flawless and sets the mood of the song.
Kay Kay returns with Zara Sa. This romantic song sounds as good as the other romantic track Haan Tu Hai, again a Kay Kay number. This is one sweet and mushy song that will set the perfect mood for a romantic evening. Kay Kay sounds exceptionally brilliant, especially on the higher notes, taking the song to an altogether different level. The music is once again a typical Pritam experiment which falls in perfect sync with the lyrics, vocals and the ambience.
Zara Sa Power Ballad is a brilliant version of the original. With the music being toned down at required segments, the vocals sound more powerful in this track. The overall feel of the song is what makes this song a perfect one.
Pritam has definitely done a brilliant job with the music of this film album. The success of the music now depends on the marketing techniques.
