Shabd Songs Reviews

Shabd soundtracks ; not so appealing...
Dec 28, 2004 09:34 AM2315 Views

Vishal-Shekhar?s attempt to create good music for ?Shabd ? the year?s biggest love story? is nothing more than ordinary bar some tunes and a couple of songs. Even the lyricists, Irshad Kamil and Vishal Dadlani don?t show signs of anything new to attract the listeners or compensate for the music.


The album consists of nine songs out of which three are repeated, Sholon Si and Mat Jaa being remixed and Chahaton Ka Silsila being sung twice with different singers.


Shabd begins with ?Sholon Si,? which has a tingling, spicy feeling to it. The song is sung by Vishal Dadlani and Sunidhi Chauhan who do full justice to the singing. Vishal?s heavy voice suits well with Sanjay Dutt. It has a great set of beats added to it, which gives it a salsa dance mood. This song is best suited when one?s on the dance floor. The lyrics succeed in making the song sound full of enthusiasm. This fast number is sure to win hearts.


?Khoya Khoya? follows next, starting out with Sanjay Dutt?s dialogues and then Sonu Nigam?s voice, singing. The initial beats sets one in a dreamy mood. Sunidhi Chauhan sings the female part and brings out (after Chameli) her versatile style and voice. Sanjay Dutt?s dialogues are persistent in between the song, which is not effective as it breaks the flow of the song. It may add to the picturization but sounds strange. Other than, Sunidhi Chauhan?s voice, the song is pretty basic. A light romantic number.


?Bolo To? is track number three, which again begins with Sanjay Dutt?s voice in a dialogue. The song continues with Sonu Nigam singing with a dynamic voice. Shreya Ghoshal sounds great singing with a voice that appears to involve pain in it. Once again, dialogues in Sanjay Dutt?s voice are constant throughout the song. The strange beats in the middle of the song don?t go with the music and sound eccentric.


Kumar Sanu and Sunidhi Chauhan sing ?Chahaton Ka Silsila,? which is a slow-paced song. It sounds average except for the theme tune, which makes it sound classy. The beats and music are nothing special. The lyrics don?t sound like anything above average either. Gets boring after a while.


Sukhwinder Singh proves himself, yet again, as an excellent singer with the next track, ?Mat Jaa.? This loud and heavy number is not a typical sad song, as the lyrics suggest. It?s made to be one with chunky beats and reminds one of hard metal. The lyrics are impressive and relevant to the meaning of the song. Guitar plays an important role and is also an addition to the ?sad? feeling with a difference. Awesome pick.


The magic of ?Sholon Si? is repeated with the same singers and same music but different and more effective beats. The drums work well with the other instruments used. Like a traditional remix, English lyrics can be heard between parts of the song. The song makes one shake a few moves with the racy beats. A new sensation for the clubs!


?Chahaton Ka Silsila? plays again with Udit Narayan?s voice. He suits the song well making it a soft melody. Udit Narayan?s style of singing and voice attracts one to the song more than the first one.


?Mat Jaa? remix starts off with a male voice saying ?No no, gal, I?m not gonna let you go? and continues with some more lines in English. The song continues in Sukhwinder?s voice and faster beats matching perfectly with the singing. There are voices in the background throughout the song, which add to the effect.


The theme of Shabd is very soothing and beautifully created. Starting out beautifully, it gets faster and suspenseful as it proceeds. After a phase of music, it slows down with the peaceful tune. Great theme music with the most serene tune.


On the whole, Shabd is a combination of some fast as well as slow-paced songs. The album sounds fairly average with exceptions.


Very Soft to hear Very Soft to Forget

The trailers of SHABD ended with a note ?THE BIGGEST LOVE STORY OF THE YEAR?. With this note it gives the impression of a well though marketing plan.


Half of the duty for sale of the music album is covered by this SHABD (I mean word). Let?s take a look at the album and make a judgment that whether this claim proves on the part of music or not.


Vishal and Shekhar compose music for this movie, who have earlier superhit music this year in shape of ?MUSAFIR?. So expectation rises as the cast for the movie is Sanjay Dutt, Ashwariya Roy & Zaid Khan. All these three have big successes this year already and are become the favorite of all people.


?Sholon Si? good song with some good music notes. A jazzy sort of number which makes goody when it comes but after a time it passes away from heart. But indeed it is good song and it has some more with its remix version. Who so ever you will hear at first I am sure you will stick to that, as I have listened the original so I like that. Here I will score this song 5/10.


?Khoya Khoya? Sonu is back in his soft rhythm, but full credit to Vishal and Shekhar that they have executed this so well. This is the ?Suno Na? type of song and do well till its end. We rate it 8/10.


?Bolo To? a good song with a slow pace and as usual Vishal and Shekhar are keep it as their benchmark. The tone is slow but the arrangements are good. The song is OK nuber but it does not possess the quality of becoming chart buster. We rate it 5/10.


?Chahaton Ka Silsila? very very beautiful tune and again slow paced number. One of the beauties in this song is presence of Kumar Sanu Voice. The number is repeated in the album with Udit?s voice. A strange thing which I think never happens before that a version of song sung by Kumar Sanu and the other version by Udit. And if I would say this is the best song of the album that would be right. Both versions are equally good. We rate these 16/20.


?Mat Jaa? when we have songs like Khoya Khoya & Chahaton Ka Silsila this number means nothing a total unimpressive tune. Actually I think at first that tune is nothing to with this song strictly bad organized number. Repeating the number with remixed version is totally waste. Rating 1/10. (This 1 point is given for adding this no. to the album).


Vishal and Shekhar are giving good music and some memorable tunes in past. In this album they have just two goodies to offer to music lovers. This shows that they have potential to go forward.


One thing which I have noticed is that in Vishal and Shekhar?s previous albums they have used their name as Vishal-Shekhar now ?and? is added in between these two names. I think this proves lucky for them like for Anu Malik when he changed his name spell from ?Annu? to ?Anu? which gave him success. Well it?s just a thought which I shared here.


Final score for SHABD comes 35/60 which is 59.8%. I don?t think the album would do wonders but the presence of two songs will make alive the album.
