CROOK MUSIC REVIEW

Emraan Hashmi is accepted primarily for two things - his "serial kisser" reputation; and the arbitrary actuality that the songs in his films tend to become superhits. Partly, this could be because of the addiction of the abutting accumulation of loyal, accomplished bodies amassed about the Bhatt affected - Emraan stars, and music administrator Pritam saves his best compositions for Bhatt's blur projects.

And with Crook, it's a acceptable blueprint that's actuality repeated. Under the alert administration of Mohit Suri (who has ahead auspiciously directed Emraan in Kalyug and Awarapan for the Bhatt blur camp) Emraan stars in the accessible blur as an Indian bent who moves to Australia to try and seek out a bigger activity for himself. The blur is based on ancestral attacks on Indian acceptance in Australia and will abode issues of ancestral bigotry and segregation. Pritam has put calm a heavily bedrock afflicted soundtrack with able Punjabi flavour. The eight advance (4 aboriginal tracks, 4 remixes) affection vocals from Babbu Mann, Mohit Chauhan, Suzanne D'Mello, Nikhil D'Souza, K.K., and Neeraj Sridhar.

Track 1, Challa bliss off in hardly offbeat appearance for a Pritam agreement - it's an active Bhangrified remix of a acceptable Punjabi folksong. Babbu Mann handles vocals actuality actual ably. Thumping dhol alloyed with cyberbanking touches, with Suzanne D'Mello, bigger accepted as Suzy Q('Bachoo' - Ghajini), abacus some English rapping into the mix will absolutely get your amateur shrugging and your anxiety borer ...only botheration is it's over way too soon!

The Tigerstyle remix (Track 5) takes affliction of that problem, though, addition the clue out a bit best to accord us added time to dance. The cool able Punjabi flavour charcoal complete on the remix, but the beats get a blow added intricate and abrasive - authoritative this THE affair clue of the anthology for sure.

Track 2 changes clue absolutely with the bedrock carol Mere Bina. At aboriginal listen, this ability complete a little abominable to some ears, but candidly – this has hit accounting all over it. A gorgeous, soaring, adventurous melody, that you can absolutely brainstorm diva Nikhil D'Souza ('Anjaana Anjaani Ki Kahaani' - Anjana Anjaani) belting from some austere mountaintop... or in the rain... or active romantically afterwards a alternation that is accustomed his accurate adulation away. He's singing from his heart, you can tell. With a crooning aback up choir and attractive tinkly alarm flourishes, this is a gorgeous, attractive bedrock ballad.

A absolutely altered version, Mere Bina Unplugged is additionally provided on the anthology (Track 8) - this time the vocals handled by K.K. This adaptation is acoustic, bare the aback up singers and flourishes of the aboriginal bedrock version, in a slower tempo, giving it a acutely emotional, blue feel. I apperceive a lot of bodies will like this version, but I adopt the original, uber-romantic "I aloof fell in love" feel of Nikhil D'Souza's version, as against to the "I aloof got my affection broken" feel of the Unplugged track.

Track 3 is my atomic favourite clue on the album: Kya. Featuring digitally manipulated vocals from Neeraj Sridhar it's a average of the road, absolutely unmemorable, arid song. Disappointing, because in the accomplished Neeraj and Pritam accept collaborated able-bodied together.

Track 4, Tujhi Mein is a audible bedrock number, complete with bawl guitar solo, and awesome ambagious piano. K.K. handles the vocals - and his articulation absolutely articulate a little attenuate in adverse to the anguish bank of bedrock the song is congenital on. I acquainted like the song bare addition with added grit. Anyway, a audible aphotic and blue accent pervades this song, an afflictive coercion is created, so in agreement of creating an able soundscape, this song succeeds.

Finally, Clue 6, Tujhko Jo Paaya is about addition adaptation of 'Mere Bina', articulate artlessly by Mohit Chauhan over annihilation added than the strumming of an acoustic guitar. The artlessness of this clue is what makes it so actual admirable and able - and this, added so than K.K.'s version, is absolutely 'Mere Bina unplugged'. Short, way too short, but oh so sweet.

All in all, addition solid anthology from Pritam for the Bhatt camp.
