Peppy youthful music scores have always been symbolized as
epitome of fresh musical breeze that has ushered new talents.
AASMA breaks free from conventional mode and tries to regenerate
that special feel with its new set of tunes and rhythms. AASMA,
frothy youthful love adventures brings promising duo Afsar-Sajid
to the fore with the music that guarantees a "cool"
urbane musical "masti" and zing. Xulfi (CALL-THE
BAND) and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan are the two Paki talents who
further accentuate album's prospects with their attributes.
Can AASMA be as perky and youthful as DIL CHAHTA HAI? Can
Afsar-Sajid promise to be another probable name in the list
of promising music talents? Let's gets started by pushing
up "play" button...
Pakistani rock bands created rage in last few years and the
fervor is still not over as Xulfi (CALL-THE BAND) makes big
splash of cherished moments in meticulously composed "Ye
Pal". After the stupendous success of "Laare Choote"
(EK CHALIS KI LAST LOCAL), breathtaking vocals of Xulfi make
a striking poise with breathtaking rhythm guitars strums,
rigorous percussions, and slender chorals with melancholic
violin works to usher out a "dreamy yuppie" feel.
Soft and sonorous in sentiments, this youthful melodic presentation
has beatific charm that can be felt in its tender violin notes
and echoing vocal effects that serenades out an unending tranquility.
Disco lights and scorching disco beat fillers sparkles out
flamboyancy in air as mood ruptures into full bloom in "Ye
Pal (remix)". The resonating and bombastic DJ "club"
thumps along with Xulfi's hi-tempo adds substantial pep factor
in making this Shahab Allhabadi track a funky track. If you
are really for some freshness in sentimental tracks then "Ye
Pal" has enough ire that can make mood merrier on any
lovable evening. Youthful!!!
Afsar-Sajid makes a bombastic entry through "rock-concert"
mania binge as they pile up oodles of rollicking beats and
rhythms in the title track "Aasma". This perky cum
peppy rocking feel signifies out joyful ambitious of reaching
"seven skies" with impressive composition taking
over stage in stream of youthful wordings. Irrespective of
its conventional "rock-music" outrage, there are
loads of energies that are pumped in by the talented Shaan,
KK and Mahalaxmi Iyer racing vocals to make it a lively treat
for ears. "Aasma" can be "chosen one"
rock number" that will likely to be having many takers
in campus circles and should be hot favorites in college "rock
shows". There are Bollywood sensibilities added (through
emotional phrases, "bhangra" beats) to make it on-screen
friendly but still "rock-music" mania persists loudly
in its thriving displays.
"Aasma (club mix)" sticks to the roots of westernized
disco-beat culture but the tempo is relatively slower and
sentimental. It's likely to be consumed as promotional feature
and unlikely to be hot favorites among party animals.
Kailash Kher makes remarkable presence felt as his folksy vocal
throws makes melancholic melodic passé of broken dreams
in "Aasma (sad version)". Shahab Allahabadi makes
the maximum as lyricist with tearful connotations of flick's
thematically driven theme of reaching "seven skies".
If Mithoon made himself an effervescent prodigy with "Maula
Mera Maula" (ANWAR) then Afsar-Sajid makes the most remarkable
and everlasting impact with "Mann Bawra". Rahat
Fateh Ali Khan pristinely classic vocals make soulful impression
with mellifluous display of impressive "tabla" that
gels amicably with upbeat arrangements in the backdrop. Shahab
Allahabadi beautify every tear-jerking romantic moment with
painstakingly expressive penning up of thoughts that gets
glorified manifold with communicative phrases and verses.
Afsar-Sajid has almost made a career by being so meticulously
meaningful and melodically intellectual with this composition.
It's likely to be soaring high on quality music listeners
and critic's choice and rating and should add colossal emotional
value to this teenybopper's favorite flick. This soulfully
penetrative melody gets heavy dosage of resounding "lounge"
music impacts in it's 'lounge remix" version where tranquil
mood is intensified with impressive bass playing, echoing
impacts to deliver out a soothing impact but original version
sounds much better. Soulful!!!
"Chalte Raahein", a sprightly youthful soundtrack
maintains the vibrant jocular mood of the flick and the surprise
element in it is talent-hunt find Debojit who fulfills every
promise with his gifted voice. After couple of forgettable
maneuvers in marquee, Debojit finally finds the right "sur"
as he collaborates energetically in peppy mood with Mahalaxmi
Iyer in emancipating out "carefree" campus-love
feel. Afsar-Sajid maintains the vivacious decorum of rock
musical mania in its thriving instrumental display but one
finds a strong element of "High School Musical"
type of musical madness in its treatment. After hearing it
again and again, one can find new propping prodigy in Debojit
singing and there is bountiful in this track that can make
this album youthful and peppy.
After hearing to some soulful youthful scores in Shankar
Ehsan Loy's LUCK BY CHANCE, AASMA opens up new horizons for
freshness and peppiness in Bollywood music and makes itself
as promising entrant amongst youthful musical entertainers
of this year. Afsar-Sajid props up as the first promising
musical directors who dare to be different as well as entertains
with their lively works. Shahab Allahabadi's penetrative and
meaningful lyrical works deserves special mention while Xulfi
makes his second remarkable presence in Hindi filmdom. AASMA
promises two chartbusters in the form of "Ye Pal"
and "Mann Bawra" (if promoted aggressively) while
the rest of the youthful tracks have that catchy "yuppie"
feel to attract large sect of prospective urbane listeners.
