In the last couple of years things have dramatically changed for Sonu Nigam. There was a time one recalls when he used to complain that music directors and the music companies were not
interested in promoting songs sung by him. But things have dramatically changed in the last couple of years. And it all started with Border where his song(song along with Roop Kumar Rathore) Sandese Aate Hain became very popular and was all
over the music channels. Having conquered the uncertain bollywood music industry, Nigam set his eyes on the Indi-pop scene. He started out with Tu, the music of which was produced by Biddu. The album was a moderate success. But with Deewana,
Sonu Nigam has a winner in his own way.
As one can make out from the title of the album, Deewana has everything to do with love. The eight songs in the album convey the sundry moods of love from Izhaar(confession) to Judai (separation). All the eight songs have been penned by Faiz Anwar, the music of which has been composed by Sajid-Wajid.
The album opens with Aab Mujhe Raat Din, a romantic number which has been picturised on Deewakar Pundir in the music video by Anubhav Sinha. The song has already become a rage. At times it is being telecast simultaneously on Channel V and MTV.
It is very rare to find an album which has more than two or three quality songs. But Deewana is an exception. It doesn't matter whether you are a Sonu Nigam fan or not, it is one album which you can enjoy from the beginning to the end.
