Singers: Himesh Reshammiya, Jayesh Gandhi and Harshdeep; Rating:
* *
The music album of "Red - The Dark Side" turns out to be a
one-man show because composer-singer Himesh Reshammiya has
monopolised it. And Sameer has penned
the lyrics to suit his style.
It comprises of 10 tracks out of which four are remixes and one
"Dil ne ye na jaana" is a note-to-note repetition. Thus,
technically speaking, there are only five original songs
and Reshammiya sings all of them, except one.
In "Aafreen tera chehra", a panegyric love song about feminine
beauty, Reshammiya does not let you down with his copyright
high-pitched crooning.
Next one is "Aamin" and after listening to the song you
seriously think that Reshammiya has to reinvent himself. He
urgently needs an overhaul. However, the background score is
impressive.
When the next song "Ek tum hi" starts the first thought that
occurs in your mind, 'Is that Reshammiya again?' Such is the
influence of the music director on the crooner
Jayesh Gandhi. However, at several places Gandhi loses effect in
order to raise his vocals. This is a relatively fast number.
"Dil ne ye na jaana" turns out to be a break from the monotony.
It's a relief to hear a female voice. Harshdeep sings it with
her melodiously deep feminine vocals. The track
with excellent tabla play and guitar violin synchronisation
animates the touching lyrics.
"Loneliness is killing" is a typical Reshammiya song and
unbearable.
The album underscores that it is high time for Reshammiya to
reinvent himself. In the last few months he has moved from
vibrancy to stagnation. One thing, which highlights
this monotony, is the repetition of a single phrase in almost
all the songs.
Moreover, all songs, except one, have been rendered by male
singers despite the presence of two leading ladies in the movie.
Not a single track can stay with listeners long enough.
