Chords & Notes


YEHI PYAR HAI

T-Series, Rs.45 (CD)

There are some albums which have the power to put you to sleep and there are some which can wreck your nerves. This one succeeds in doing both in equal measure. But in all fairness it also offers two nice songs – just two in a pack of nine. But seven versus two is a comprehensive defeat for the singing duo Rakesh and Surender (from the Vayu band).

The title song, “Ye Hi Pyar Hai…” is quite jarring on the ear. It has indecipherable lyrics and a tasteless tune. The second one, “Hum Chahein” is also dull and uninspiring. Just when you begin to doze off, in comes a peppy number, “De De De Dil”.The pick of the album is “Vasundhara, Jab se Meine Tujhe Dekha”. It is sung in a fast tempo and with effortless ease by the singers. About the other songs, less said the better.

REMIX RELOADED (Vol .1)

Tumhi Ho Hamari Manzil

Venus, Rs.75 (2 CDs)

Perhaps Venus knew that a free CD with this pack is important to win a few listeners. Still, one needs a lot of luck to turn this two-CD pack into a success. The songs in the album include old numbers like “Bahut Pyar Karte Hain” (Saajan), “Mana Ho Tum” (Toote Khilone) and “My Heart is Beating” (Julie) and they at once make your heartbeat race. And very soon, your realise that heart loses poorly in this race of super fast music. All of a sudden if you stop playing the songs, you realise what heavenly peace you have missed out on! One hardly gets to test the vocal chords of DJ Sheizwood, Vaishali Burman and yet anothersinger named Rohan in these club mixes simply because the dominating music doesn’t allow it.
