RAAZ-THE MYSTERY CONTINUES is one spine-chiller that has
been awaited with baited breath by all musical freaks. Bhatt's
loudly pronounced it to be another show-stopper from their
clan that is likely to be writing new set of records. The
connoisseurs have an "ear" for melodies and this
made many upcoming talents groomed in the filmdom. Unlike
all their previous endeavors, Bhatt's have preferred an array
of upcoming Indian musical talents rather than successful
Pakistani rock bands or singers for this "edge of seat"
thriller. It has one of the longest possible queue of composers
comprising of Sharib-Toshi, Raju Singh, Pranay M Rijia and
Gourov Dasgupta making their present felt. Does this "young
brigade" have enough fire and zing to fire up the proceedings?
Will the gamble of selecting four different composers prove
a profitable preposition for them? Can the album be living
out another fairy-tale for producers who have been delivering
out back-to-back musical hits in recent times? It's time to
hear the album loud and really find the answers?
It was mesmerizing to core to hear soul-stirring "Jaage
Hai Muddat Se" (SUMMER 2007) but unfortunately it went
unnoticed and unobserved. The magic that was ushered in a
couple of reality shows in the form of Sharib-Toshi bounced
back again and this time the impact was bountiful in all ways
in "Maahi Ve". Bhatt's make generous vent into budding
Indian talents rather than introducing new Paki rock stars
and the bargain is indeed fruitful. Toshi's placidly booming
baritones may be next big choice for somber tracks as he makes
striking presence in this tear-jerking Sufi number. Sayeed
Quadri's poetically influential Urdu wordings correlate the
somberness and gets instinctive with its hook-line ("Dil
roye ya ilahi Tu aaja mere maahi") as the song reaches
to its last note. Sharib-Toshi gets a major leap as composers
by this track that mixes many electronic sounds and upbeat
orchestrations. It stands out as one of finest distressing
romantic ballads of this year and will be great boost for
the duo. There is major surprise for rock-music lovers in
"Maahi (Rock with Me)" that almost come in "unplugged"
version in its prelude and then rises to highest octaves in
its latter half. The composition may be contemporary but the
impulsive thrive of percussions and a jazz element (saxophone
notes, soft drums) in rock music feel is expressively resounding.
After Sharib-Toshi's brilliant melodic show, it's time for
another promising composer Raju Singh to make an everlasting
dent with a mellifluously divine soundtrack "Soniyo".
It's a gem of composition that has Indi-Pop hues in its westernized
sentimental sparks with an austere Bhatt camp's sweet "n"
saccharine (similar to "Lamha Lamha" (GANGSTER))
appeal that is melancholically soul-enchanting. Sonu Nigam
delivers one of his greatest works of this year with his yore
and yells emoting out an everlasting love relationship. Neeraj
Sridhar's English rendition in the prelude subjugates it an
international feel in serene addictive melodic attire. To
add more sugary vibes, there are dollops of tender moments
in Shreya Ghoshal's slender vocals that make it a picture
perfect sentimental love duet of the album. Kumaar's modestly
communicative lyrical works are great asset that are easy-on-ears
as well as soothing enough to make it a sure-shot chartbusting
material.
Raju Singh's musical magic continues in its second version
"Soniyo (From the heart)" that comes out as solo
soft rock ballad with minimal orchestration. Krishna sings
out this in varying pitched with an intrinsically "country-western"
rock feel with an outstanding display of guitar works. It's
another uncut diamond for all those rock-music lovers and
an added ideal soundtrack that can well be practiced in guitar-learning
classes. Just try to play its chords in synchronized way and
sing aloud and feel the impulse that can really make out an
articulate singer and a proficient guitarist in you. Outstanding!!!Raju
Singh's rhythmical aesthetics in composing and choosing perfect
vocals scores gold again as he pitches loud and boisterous
to make the mood merrier in a thriving dance floor track "O
Jaana". KK's frivolous tempo is red-hot fiery and blazes
out with pulsating arrangements that are fuelled with booming
electronic sounds, thumping percussive elements and rigorous
drumming. It sizzles out an animated outlook of discoth?que
(similar to "Kaho Na Kaho" (MURDER)) that grows
louder as it passes many ups and downs of notes and rhythms.
DJ Suketu delivers out a really pulsating disco-beat "hot-shot"
thriller in its "club" remix that grows vigorously
with electronically punched beat patterns. It's one of those
rollicking "remix" numbers that are likely to energize
up pulses and is likely to be appreciating out pep factor
of the album.
