CLASSICALLY MILD
Saregama, Rs. 125
The album is an experiment by Bollywood’s ace singer Sonu Niigaam to venture into the realm of classical music. Despite the sincerity, it is an effort that clearly hasn’t worked. If music by Deepak Pandit fails to exploit the versatile voice in some songs, the singer doesn’t do justice to the twists and turns of classical ragas in others.
“Sochta Hu Main” is the first song in this eight-song album. And not a very impressive one to start with. The music is not very smooth and soothing to your ears. Sonu’s voice is jarring at times. The much-faster “Bhige Bhige” has nothing new to offer either but makes for a decent track.
The other songs “Soona Soona”, “Suratiya”, “Chhalki Chhalki”, “Dhanya Dhanya”, “Lamha Lamha”, “Aai Dil Mat Roh” are soft numbers and passable. Sonu has tried hard in every song, but so hard that it seems overdone at times. We love him and his voice, but may be he is better singing pop/film songs.
