It's quite easy to tell this is a Rahman track with hints of his past numbers
from 'Chak De! India' and 'Hindustani.'
Chak De India by Rahman?? Wrong info...

Bollywood Music Review: Hit or Sh!t?: 'Ghajini'
December 02 2008 15:10 PST
Music by: AR Rahman
Lyrics: Prasoon Joshi
Singers: Suzanne D'Mello, Karthik, Javed Ali, Sonu Nigam, Benny Dayal, Pravin
Mani and Shreya Ghoshal
The expectations behind Aamir Khan's 'Ghajini' are immense! First of all Aamir
Khan is a huge name in itself and then you add in ace music man AR Rahman and
the expectations hit the roof! In fact, many are claiming it's the biggest
soundtrack of the year. After hearing the first snippets of 'Guzarish' which
was the first trailer released, my curiosity peaked and I knew if the song was
a precursor to the rest of the album, it would no doubt be a winner. So did it
live up to my expectations? Read on to find out!
'Guzarish': The teaser track hit the airwaves not too long ago and it's already
creating waves. The beautiful track is brilliant and there's not doubt it will
be playing in my iPod way beyond the films release. Everything in the track
melds beautifully, from Javed Ali's vocals to Rahman's music and Prasoon
Joshi's touching lyrics. One listen and you'll be hooked.
'Aye Bachchu': The track is quite different from the romantic 'Guzarish.'
Suzanne D'Mello belts out the rock tinged party song. It has an undeniable
toe-tapping rhythm with a western beat. It's quite easy to tell this is a
Rahman track with hints of his past numbers from 'Chak De! India' and
'Hindustani.'
'Kaise Mujhe': The haunting track's musical composition is impeccable, the
beat, the beautiful sitar, slow build up, touching lyrics and Shreya Ghoshal's
vocals work magically. One complaint however is, I can't help but think how
the track would've sounded had it been sung by Sonu Nigam, or Shaan as opposed
to Benny Dayal. It may not have 'hit' written all over it at first listen, but
it will resonate with audiences after the release for sure.
'Bekha': From the first note you know you're in for something different. The
track isn't something you'd typically hear in a Bollywood soundtrack, with bits
of the piano and the unexpected use of the saxophone. You can't help but be
reminded by 'Main Aisa Kyun Hoon' from 'Lakshya.' It should be interesting to
see how it's pictured, as this is the track that will feature Aamir in 6
different looks. Karthik's vocals are perfectly suited for 'Bekha.'
'Latto': One of the best upbeat tracks off the album. Shreya Ghoshal shows
off her versatility with this one, as does Rahman, as it's the only track on
the soundtrack that doesn't scream Rahman from first listen. The fun carefree
track will have you bobbing your head.
The soundtrack to 'Ghajini' has chartbuster written all over it! The winning
combo of Aamir and Rahman does not disappoint! There's no doubt we'll be
hearing the songs well into 2009.
My picks: 'Guzarish,' 'Bekha' and 'Latto'
