Music Review I See U
I See U
2006 may as well go down as the year that had maximum number of films with an English title. And what more tantalizing could be a film's title that goes as I See You? Debut production of Arjun Rampal which also stars him in the lead, I See You marks the debut of Delhi girl Vipasha who plays the invisible woman in the film. Chunky Pandey, Sonali Kulkarni and Boman Irani form the rest of the starcast for this romantic comedy that is directed by debutant Vivek Agrawal and is slated to be the last release of the year as it arrives on 29th December. With its music release just a fortnight before the film, it would need some aggressive publicity by the music company to bring this Vishal-Shekhar score in notice that has lyrics by Vishal himself!
What is pleasantly surprising about the album is the fact that it has not been overloaded with songs! There are only 4 songs in the film with each one fitting in to the situation while there are remixes for 2 of them. Subah Subah is the opening track that begins with a sound of guitar. There is a surprise in the very first listening of the song as it sounds so different from how it appears in the promos. A number that looked quite dull there has a very pepped up feel to it as a part of the audio and that is due to the fact that the arrangements and the background vocals by Vishal Shekhar are much better placed and brought to fore in the final cut of the song.
Sung by Zubeen Garg of Ya Ali fame, the song is about this carefree guy who is enjoying the subtleties of life and is himself surprised at the way life is treating him on one fine morning! Nevertheless, the song requires repeated listening before you would actually start humming it along since when compared to the work of Vishal Shekhar in the past, it is not that catchy! Next to follow is the true blue DJ remix version of the song that has been given a club feel suited for a dance floor. DJ Whosane is the man who makes it possible and if one is looking forward to a rhythmic tune without worrying too much about the lyrics or the meaning that the song carries, this should make for a worthy inclusion in your dance floor compilation.
Techno mood of the album continues with Kehna Hai Jo which is crooned by Shekhar Rajviani himself. There is an elaborate setting for around a minute before Shekhar comes on the mike and the innovative part of the song is that arrangements are on the fore here with vocals being in the background.
