Chords & Notes

Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (Sony BMG)

This album is definitely worth a pick for those who love mushy numbers. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy come together yet again for this Karan Johar film, which explains the mild traces of Kal Ho Na Ho in some songs. The album opens with Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik rendering Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, a melodious, slow paced song.

The KNHH influence is evident in the club number Where's the Party Tonight, sung by Vasundhara Das, Shaan and Shankar Mahadevan. Likewise, we also vote for Rock `N' Roll Soniye, sung by Shankar, Shaan and Mahalaxmi Iyer.

The pick of the album is Mitwa, which is already on top of the charts. Javed Akhtar's lyrics and Shafaqat Amanat Ali and Shankar's rendition make it magical. The album closes with Farewell Trance by Shweta Pandit and Caralisa.
