One of the most exciting releases of 2013 has to be Remo D’Souza’s Abcd – AnyBody Can Dance, which is India’s first 3D dance film. Sachin and Jigar certainly deliver their best work with this album, showcasing their versatility and delivering a consistently brilliant selection of tracks. Each track gets you immediately hooked and even more curious to see how it will be picturized onscreen.
We start off with a bang with, Shambhu Sataya, a rollicking Ganesh devotional song that packs the punch with its loud percussion, and drums that line the track. Shankar Mahadevan opens the track with a soothing shloka, that gives way to the thumping dhols and nagadas. The interplay between Mahadevan and Vishal Dadlani raspy vocals make this a loud treat. The bridge is one of the most interesting parts as it features the chorus rapping the shlokas, which works so seamlessly. The track is energetic and deeply layered,...

Ar Rahman seemed like a novel choice for scoring the music of Rockstar. We all love his Sufi tinged numbers and techno pop songs, but with an album like Rockstar the listener and fan has to go in with an interesting set of expectations. Will Rahman be any good at composing full on rock tracks as comfortably as Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy did for Rock On? Certainly from the exciting promos of the film, with Ranbir looking like a grungy rocker singing with Mohit Chauhan’s gritty voice. From the snippets of the songs, they immediately hooked you in and told a gradual evolution of the titular Rockstar’s roots of Sufi soft rock to full-blown grunge in Sadda Haq. Certainly, a lot is riding on the music to Rockstar, as critics weren’t fans of Rahman’s last outing in Robot, and Imtiaz Ali is testing waters with a new composer for such an awaited film.
