Kabhi Alvida... a treat for music lovers
Karan
Johar has once more teamed up with composers Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and
lyricist Javed Akhtar, who gave the music of Kal Ho Naa Ho, and the
outcome is enthralling. Although Johar’s forte is romance, he
ventures into a different kind of love story this time—and the music
reflects it too. The opening track is the title song Kabhi alvida
naa kehna, a slow and sad number sung beautifully by Alka Yagnik
and Sonu Nigam with enjoyable beats. The next track Mitwa,
which starts with Love will find a way, jaaniye, heeriyain sung
by Caralisa and Shankar Mahadevan, hooks listeners instantly. Thanks
to Pakistani singer Shafqat Amanat Ali, who has churned out catchy
tunes by fusing Pakistani and Indian classical music. If music lovers
fell for It’s the time to disco from Kal Ho Naa Ho,
they will also love Where’s the party tonight. The romantic
and sentimental track sung by Shaan and Vasundhara Das is also a blend
of Indian and Western music. Tumhi dekho naa, sung by Alka and
Sonu, is the best song of the album. It has the feel of Suraj hua
maddham and Kuch to hua hai and is a feast for the ears. Mitwa
Revisited is the remix version of the song Mitwa, which
sounds quite trendy and cool. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy once again have
Amitabh Bachchan jiving to their tunes in Rock ‘n roll soniye.
Shankar’s voice modulation may have many thinking that Amitabh
himself has sung the number. The last track, Farewell trance,
is an instrumental number and is worth listening. Overall, the album
is good and it is already topping music charts. Those who liked the
music in Johar’s earlier films must listen to this one too. Johar
returns to big screen after five years with Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna,
which is one of the most anticipated movies of 2006. — IANS
