Kambakkht Ishq
After a long time, music buffs will be able to savour the compositions of Annu Malik through the much-awaited film Kambakkht Ishq. The soundtrack has five originals and four remixes.
‘Bebo’, a song crooned by Alisha Chinai is an average. However, the vocals are extremely mediocre and boring, lyrics make matters worse. ‘Bebo’ is a usual, fast-paced, high on beats song.
The number also has a remixed version which only adds more beats to the original and nothing else.
There were certain expectations from the title track of the film, but ‘Kambakkht Ishq’ is a complete disappointment. The song sung by KK and Sunidhi Chauhan is backed by strong musical arrangements but the lyrics are a put off.
Up next is a slow-paced, poignant rendition ‘Kyun’ which is beautifully sung by Shaan and Shreya Ghoshal, making it the best song of the album.
The next is a Punjabi song with western influences. A sure shot hit at the DJ consoles, the song will be a favourite at the dance floor. Neeraj Shridhar has done a good job with the vocals.
‘Om Mangalam’ is the next song which is composed and sung by RDB. A number with traces of hip-hop, it has the potential to be a chartbuster. The track will surely make music buffs sit up and take notice.
On the whole, the album is happening and interesting but only in parts. The expectations from one of the most awaited films and a composer of Annu Malik's stature were much higher.
