Rock On ( Hindi Film Songs , )

Album Review
Refreshingly Different
By Usha Lakra

‘Rock On’, as the name suggests, is based on a Rock band. The music draws its inspiration mainly from hard and raw rock. This particular genre remained untouched in Bollywood and for the first time something like this has been done.

The movie directed by Abhishek Kapoor has music by Shankar Ehsaan Loy.

The album is an experimental one with a fresh feel oozing out from the talented music directors accompanied with the master of words Javed Akhtar. Lyrics are wonderful especially in the song ‘Socha Hai’ and ‘Pichle Saat Dinon Mein’. The track ‘Socha Hai’ is a soulful rendition by Farhan Akhtar, stepping into the shoes of a singer for the first time.

‘Pichle Saat Din’ is again a solo by Farhan Akhtar. Now, it’s interesting to see that a first-time singer like Farhan has wielded microphone for four songs out of nine in the album. ‘Pichle Saat Din’ is a kind of college song with a good tune and impressive vocals.

The album has track ‘Sindbad’. It is a thematic song on Sindbad. Vocalists Farhan and Raman have done wonders with their vocals. A soothing number with complementary lyrics.

‘Zehreelay’ is the typical hard rock song. But as the genre of rock is particularly western, this hard core number fails to strike the right chord with not-so-supportive wordings. Suraj Jagan, the singer of the title track of ‘Johnny Gaddaar’, hollers on the top of his voice. The song is the weak point of this album.

‘Yeh Tumhari Meri Batein’ is a bit Bollywoodish kind of song with a touch of soft rock. Dominique Carejo has sung it effectively and captured the emotive appeal of the lyrics. A sensuous number, worth listening time to time.

‘Tum Ho Toh’ is a mellow number sung beautifully again by Farhan Akhtar. Director turned actor turned singer, Farhan has done a remarkable job of rendering the songs.

The title song ‘Rock On’ is a youthful track again crooned by Farhan Akhtar. His voice is well-suited to this song. This tells the story that why it’s a hit.

Another song which can score high is ‘Phir Dekhiye’ by Caralisa Monteiro. Her stylish and convincing vocals make this song a mesmerizing one. A track which is composed mainly on guitar, this number is a lovely one. Shankar Ehsaan Loy have done a good job with Javed Akhtar’s words.
