Music review: Life In a Metro

Anurag-Shiney-Pritam pair is back a year after Gangster....the music of gangster was among the best albums last yr (probably the hottest selling)..singers gave amongst their best performances (ya ali -zubeen, tu hi meri shab hai-KK, lamha lamha -abhijeet, bheegi - james) in that album....so the expectations were really high....

and boy they do meet the expectations (or shld i say exceed them).....unarguably the best album of this year...the album bears traces of gangster and bas ek pal....but that is just the overall look of the album....pritam is definitely turning out to be an ace music composer in the past few yrs (dhoom, gangster, ankahee)....

also this turns out to be KK best album so far....he has sang his heart out in Alvida and O meri jaan.....just listen to his voice modulation in Alvida and you would know how talented this singer is....also check the Oooooo Oooooos in O meri jaan...

newcomer suhail is brilliant in the unplugged version of baatein kuch ankahee

on 1st hearing Kar Salaam sounds like Gaate the pehle akele (Khamoshi) and Guitar (Apna sapna money money)...however only the base is common....everything else from singing to arrangements are different....this is the weakest song of this album...one has to see how it turns up on screen...

Soham is extremely competent in In dino....this track is currently getting agressively promoted...

James is top guns in Rishtey...he continues from where he left off in Bheegi Bheegi (Gangster)

the music in each song is different and is top class....hats off to pritam for this song.....
