Who says melody is lost in Hindi Film Music?. Review on Rog Songs

Who says melody is lost in Hindi film music?Wait till you hear this album and more specifically the opening track. MM Kreem, Mahesh Bhatt and Kreem's favourite lyricists Neelesh Mishra and Sayeed Quadri join hands again to create another wonderful album.

1) Maine dil se kaha

In almost all his work till date M M Kreem has this habit of churning out one track which falls into the exceptional category and the other tracks fall in the good to average range. We have seen this in Criminal (Tu Mile), Zakhm (Hum Yahan Tum Wahan), Is raat ki subah Nahin(Chup Tum raho) etc... In this album also he has continued on the same tradition. The opening track of this album is an absolute delight to listen to. This is melody at it's best. A perfect combination of excellent melody, with brilliant orchestration, vocals and https://lyrics. Great use of guitar and piano and little bit of saxophone makes this a collector's delight. Excellent rendition by KK.

Trust Kreem to come out with such a wonderful tune with such a difficult mukhda and equally complex antaras'.

Rating: 5

2) Tere is jahan mein:

When you listen to this song you would be instantly reminded of ''Awarapan Banjarapan''. This song has brilliant vocals and soothing music. If the credit for the first song goes to Kreem, then this one has to go to KK. The song is instantly likeable only because of the passion in which KK sings it.

Rating: 3.5

3) Khoobsoorat:

This one has 2 versions in the album. The first one is by Udit Narayan and the second one by Kreem himself. Both are plain average. Although the song has a good tune, it is the orchestration which spoils it. It is almost like you have a brilliant Madan Mohan tune but the end product is average because the orchestration is Anand Milind types (or Sanjeev Kohli :) ). The lyrics by Neelesh Mishra are good.

Rating: 2

4) Guzar Na Zaye:

Again this one also has 2 versions. One sung by KK and the other one by Shreya Ghoshal. Sung in a mellowed but passionate voice accompanied by techno beats, this song takes some time to sink in.

Rating: 3

5) Sufani

This track is borrowed from the Italian composer Gaudi's album ''Bass, sweat & Tears''. Punjabi folk music and nu-beat combine to create an unusual fusion and quite a good one too.

Rating: 3

6) Rog theme

The album ends with a Rog instrumental theme number. A well composed and orchestrated piece. This one probably would be part of the background score of the movie.

Rating: 2.5

Overall the album is worth a buy only for the ''Maine Dil Se Kaha'' track. The rest of the songs are ok. The album should do well in the charts.

Overall Album Rating:3
