After the success of Deewana and Jaan,
young heartthrob Sonu Nigam presents
another solo album jam-packed with
romantic ballads and foot-tapping Indian
pop numbers.
NOT content with ruling the roost as one of
Bollywood’s most popular playback singers,
Sonu Nigam shows off his talent in Indian
pop.
Beginning with Jeena Hai Tere Liye, Sonu
demonstrates just how at ease he is with an
east-west pop sound. The song’s catchy
chorus line and up-tempo rhythm has seen it
receive considerable radio and television
airplay - and deservedly so. Mohabbat Kabhi
Maine is a sensual number that evokes
passion and is another track that shines out
in terms of quality.
Moody and soulful grooves are highlighted in
Aa Pukare, while Shara La gives a vibrant
Latin dance flavour to the album. The
international theme continues with Hum Na
Jane, a song that simulates traditional Arabic
sounds.
Ravi Pawar and Nikhil-Vinay’s competent
music direction provides Nigam with the
backing he needs to showcase his superior
vocal talent. One of India’s most versatile
singers, this album emphasizes Nigam’s
ability to adapt his voice to a wide variety of
musical styles.
Yaad is a fresh collection of pop songs for the
young at heart, and a must buy for all Sonu
Nigam fans.
