Disclaimer: No kids and animals were hurt during the testing of this album.
Okie fart apart... I hate it when people make pre conceived notions about music and just ignore it because of that. "Himesh hai yaar.. daya" " tu ch**** gaya hai kya.. himesh sun raha hai" etc etc (imagine the hardships I have gone through to come up with a review on Karzzzz) I like the way the composes music and has given huge hits. So there is no problem in trying out his music as well.
My Take: The album would have rocked, if himesh had spared us from his vocal chords. The music is no doubt apt for a typical "Masala movie". There are two CDs - one with normal tracks and the other one having remix tracks.
The title track- lut jaun lut jaun- is original but inspired heavily from the sounds of Karunesh(especially punjab), nice effort and nice catchy tune. Only let down is his vocals(this is actually common for all the songs). One of the best tracks of the album definitely.
Hari om hari om, tandoori nights, soniye je tere are all average tracks, you will hear all of them in autos definitely. Worth skipping
Dhoom tere ishq is a beautiful track (sans his vocals) harmonious and very romantic. Very catchy tune, makes you humm along.
Sisak Sisak ke is again a typical himesh track, with catchy hook tune. Overall average track though.
Tere bin chain na aave is a romantic track with nice usage of tabla and subtle western beats. Not as good as Dhoom... but better than other tracks.
Masha Allah is a good effort towards using indian instrumentation with raw drum beats. Kind of works.
And finally there is the haunting Ek haseena thi. He has modulated his voice in this song to avoid his nasal accent. Its an upbeat version of the classic and doesnt disappoint much. Not at par with the original but not bad also. Worth listening especially for the end portion of the song.
CD2 contains all club versions of these tracks and are worth a skip.
Overall the album belongs to masses and doesnt disappoint much. An average album.
