So many albums release and it is hard to pick up the right one or the one which soothes one's mind. But if the album has one of the favorite singer (shreya here) donning it, then you give it a hear even if it does not have great music director involved it.Ranjit Barot, as many of you might know, assisted Anu Malik in Main Hoon Na. Other than that, he does not have a great history.
Holiday starring Dino Morea and the already forgotten Inteha DEBUT heroine Nauheed Cyrusi has some good tracks which will definitely impress you and more importantly, it has melody.
Khwaahishon Se
It starts off with some uncomprehendable beats and voices and Kunal Ganjawala starts his melodious overtures from there. He sounds very melodious and his devoted voice makes this song a very good hear. Kunal's voice shows his musical base and it is definitely tough to even repeat his songs for bathroom singing. He has got the right pitch.
Shreya Ghosal sounds fantastic. She blends her voice according to situation and that is her speciality. More about her in the other tracks that she has sung in this album.
The song gives the feeling of love and at the same time, the accompanying voices and music gives the beach holiday singing feel. A love duet with the hero singing that he has fallen in love and the heroine says that he is the chosen one for her and what he has done to her. This song on repeated hears has become my favorite and some lyrics from this wonderful song.
Khwahishon Se Yeh Suna Hai
Pyar Humko Ho Gaya Hai
Tumhi to ho woh Sapna Jo dekha hai ji Bhi Liya Hai
Tumhi to ho woh lamha jo ab zindagi ban gaya hai

Neele Neele
Another beautiful track in this album which would appeal to almost everyone in first hearing. The lyrics are wonderful and gives a beach-feel probably because of the film title. Vijay Prakash and Shreya Ghosal lend their voices to this romantic happy song.
Vijay Prakash is a new singer and has done his job well. He sounds melodious and at the same time gives the song the needed charm. I haven't heard to any of his songs and his first full-fledged song is good. Shreya starts the song and when I heard her singing Neele Neele Asmaan, Hazaron Thithliyaan dil me udne lage. She has never disappointed me with her songs and after hearing to this song, my respect and love for her voice has only doubled. She is impressive and carries the song on her firm shoulders.
The heroine wants to freak out to a place where there are blue skies and dreams of their own and the hero wants to be on her side and he also has the same wish and ultimately according to the story and the lyrics, they want to visit GOA. Their eternal love is beautifully penned in the https://lyrics. The music is very pleasant and never goes overboard and maintains the tempo thorughout.
Neele Neele Asmaan Thale Kaboon Ke Woh Kafile
chalo aisi jagah chale aisi jagah chale
Suraj chand ke pare pariyon ka patha milen
chalo aisi jagah chale aisi jagah chale

Aashiyan
This time Ranjit Barot gets an opportunity to sing alongside Shreya and he is *100 times better than Anu Malik in singing. The initial lines start slowly then rises to a peak and comes back to the same pitch.
Ranjit barot's singing is situational but somehow it looks bland sometimes (which is not evident in the fast paced remix number)except when he sings 'Ho Jashn' which is creditable. Shreya is the one who balances this blandness with sweetness. Seriously, her honey-dew smooth voice simply makes you sit and notice this song.
The song is about Love and it talks about today, the moments of love and the joys that love can bring. The theme is Use this time and moment of love, kyun ki Kya patha kal ho na ho. It is a simple song yet it says more about love.
Aashiyan Ban Gaya Mera Dil Aaj Se
Meherbaan Ho Gaya Ishq Bhi Aaj Se
Aaj Ko Bandh Lo Mein In Zulfoon Se
Tham Loon yeh pal Meri Palkoon Se
Ho Jashn Aisa... Jhume Jahan
Aye Na Aye... Kal Kya Patha
Rating : 8.5/10
Tu Hai Bhataktha Jugnu Koi
This track starts with a English Interlude and thereafter Shreya starts this song and this time it is herself alone. It is a very very melodious song and shreya just impresses you with her wonderful rendition. It is a slow and a passionate song and even though Shreya has sung a lot of songs like this (Jaadu Hai Nasha Hai for eg.), there is no sense of deja vu in this track and some lines from middle
Bahoon Me Lekhe Mujhko Sikha De sang mein tere naach loon
.....Jaise koi Mor hai Naache Pehli Baharron mein
Main Ek Paanchi sahma sahma pehli udaan bare
Tune mujhe udna sikhla dhiya kaisa yeh haseen jadoo kiya
This song is about the heroine thinking about the hero and she sings with lots of love and as to how much he is to her. Wonderful composition and mind-blowing rendition by Shreya makes this song a special one.

Raqs Kar Le
This track is situational and there is no special surprises in both the lyrics and stanzas. It is just a normal song and delivered by Shaan. I like Shaan's voice a lot as he is also one of the devoted singer in the hindi film industry and slowly emerging in the tamil film industry. But this song talks about freeing yourself from the shackles and show yourself as a star to the world. But the instruments used in the song are good and since it looks like a situational number, I feel that it will look good if played in the background. Some lyrics
Raqs Kar Le Todh De Sab Zanzeeren
Aa Mila Kadam Sajegi Woh Mehfilen
Rating : 7.5/10
Tauba
Another situational track and this time Ranjit Barot hits with a solo. It is a sad number and Ranjit has done this pathos number better than the Aashiyan duet. It has very minute instrumentation. This song will definitely be in the background where the hero remembers the good days spent with his lover before breaking up and repents about the loss. Some lyrics
Tauba Yeh Kya Hua Dil Toot ke Chala
Naseebon ne khela hai yeh khel kaisa
Tooti thumse dosti mere yaar....
Rating : 7/10
Aashiyan (Remix)
Personally I don't like remixes. Remix according to me is like taking away the originality of the song. I think people who like remix albums will definitely like it than the slow version of the song. Ranjit's voice is balanced in the fast version. Since every album has a mandatory remix of a song in the album, this is added. No ratings for remix!
Move with my body
A hinglish track is always needed to complete an album just like how we have a remix album in every album. This starts off with some hindi lyrics and then comes the tagline 'move with my body'. But what surprises is the way the female singer blends the song just like an english song with hindi https://lyrics. She is absolutely fantastic. Unlike other hinglish songs, this doesn't have fast instruments which hamper the vocals. It is more like a situational track and will definitely be a speed-breaker to the movie flow.
Rating : 7.5/10
Sounds of the Future
Last but not the least, there is an instrumental piece which is more like a Salsa musical piece. The promos of the movie shows this musical piece in the background. It has nice beats but it is repetitive. But it still makes a difference when heard with eyes closed.
Rating : 7/10
Overall, Ranjit Barot has come up with something really splendid. In the era of music with so many beats and mahiyas/english raps, this album is a welcome relief. The music is melliflous and the album grows on you on repeated listening. Go for Holiday if you want to explore different facets in music.
Overall 8.1/10 for this Album.Listen to it and you will definitely like it!
