It was mostly just the heavy use of the electric guitar, which I have already encountered several times in this album. We also have ‘Aag Lagi’ which was just boring to listen to and lacking in the depth that I thought it might contain. Have a listen and see whether or not you agree. I also found Rahat’s vocals to be less strong here compared to some of the other tracks in this album, and therefore, I kind of found myself assuming that he was just breezing his way through the song. However, it was quite dull and was deprived from more of the zing that you would expect from such up-tempo tracks. Next up is ‘Sharab-E-Husn’ which has a bit of a club theme to it due to the heavy use of techno music and bass. I could imagine this particular song to be part of a Bollywood film due to its romantic theme, and hence I recommend that you try it out as it is has a likable quality to it. I also found Rahat’s voice to be very melodious in this one and he performs with a lot of soul and passion. ‘Dil Ke Taar’ is next which has some cool drum beats that give it a thumping effect that will grab your attention. I just found this one to be weak in terms of composition. This is not to say to make a song is a bad thing. The song was a bit too depressing for my liking and I don’t think the music has been composed very well either. The effect of the electric guitar mid-way through the song adds to its disturbing affect, which is essentially a song based on how everyone is a liar. Though the song is by no means great, it still does have some spice to it that will leave you wanting more.įollowing this is ‘Sab Jhoote’ which starts off with a haunting recital of the piano, as well as some chilling female vocals. Rahat performs splendidly throughout and he delivers the notes quite well, thus demonstrating his eclectic abilities as a singer. You’re first left thinking that the song will develop into a slow ballad, yet midway through the song it becomes somewhat fast-paced. Next up is ‘Nach Dumadum’ which will leave you confused in the beginning. I found it to be a respectable number, though beware that it will take time and a number of listens before you begin to accept the catchiness of this song. It has quite a mellow feel to it and the flute samples travel nicely alongside the various sounds that have been incorporated into the song. ‘Zaroori Tha’ is next and Rahat really pushes himself vocally in this particular track. The guitar and violin were well executed and helped transform the song from soft to upbeat in some places, but it just did not have enough attention-grabbing melodies for me to really appreciate it. Though the song features two of South Asia’s great musicians, it was run-of-the-mill for me overall. I enjoyed this song very much and Rahat has proven his versatility by making an easy leap from ballads to up-tempo numbers like this.įollowing this is ‘Rhim Jim’ which features the beautiful Shreya Ghoshal. In addition, the use of bass and techno samples gives the song a nice kick to it, whilst remaining adhered to the traditional Arabian themes. This one has a nice Arab blend to it and the use of the oud during the opening of the song gave this away easily. Next is ‘Habibi’ featuring the talented duo Salim-Sulaiman. All key ingredients which are needed for a great number such as this one! I found this one to be particularly striking with regards to how it has been arranged, including Rahat’s meaningful performance. Rahat manages to get the pitch just right and as the song progresses, his voice manages to build up quite nicely whilst remaining in tune. I love the use of the electric guitar which gives the song an intense feeling to it, whilst other sounds such as the tabla and harmonium help to sustain its overall Qawalli theme. Read on to see what we think of his work in Back 2 Love!įirst up we have ‘Rab Jaane’ which contains a mixture of Asian and Western flavours. BollySpice was at the album launch event in Dubai this week as well. The album also has Shreya Ghoshal, who makes an appearance in the song ‘Rhim Jim’. The album has been produced by Sahir Ali Bagga, Mian Yousaf Sallahuddin and Salim-Sulaiman. ‘Back 2 Love’ is the much talked about solo album by one of Bollywood’s most popular singers, Ustad Rahat Fateh Ali Khan.
