Top 10 Songs of the month ( Review by Amit Dhawan)
#1. Kehne Ko Jashn-e-Bahara by Javed Ali - Jodha Akbar
Well folks I have to say that last one month has been fairly dry as far as movie songs are concerned. None of the released songs came even close to taking this song down and so my #1 song is still the same this month. This is one of the few evergreen songs you'd love to listen to years from now. It can only be a pure genius like A.R. Rehman who can come up with Gems like this one again and again. Javed Ali has done full justice to this romantic song with his soulful singing.
#2. Judai by Kamran Ahmed - Jannat
It's a very captive song falling in the Rock genre and a sure shot hit. Beautifully rendered and composed by Kamran Ahmed .
#3 . Zara Zara Touch me by Monali - Race
Great R&B style song. Fun to listen to and and fun to dance on as well. Monali's sexy voice goes very well with Pritam's slow beats.
#4: Break Free by Vishal Dadlani - Krazzy 4
Another great dance number full of energy. Rajesh Roshan's Music is fresh and very catchy.
#5. Aankhon Mein Teri by K.K - Om Shanti Om
Drum role please ... this song proves that Indian music is still thriving. The song is a music video in itself - makes you visualize beautiful times with your significant other. K.Ks rendition of the song is as passionate as Sonu Nigam's . By the way, this is a great song for Karaoke singers.
#6 Mauja Hi Mauja by Mika Singh - Jab We Met
Another great dance number and ofcourse you can jog to the beats as well !
#7 Taare Zameen Par by Shankar Mahadevan - Taare Zameen Par
Great poetic singing by Shankar Mahadevan . Prasoon Joshi's lyrics will touch your heart. What a combination of great voice, composition and lyrics.
#8 Ye Ishq Hai by Shreya Goushal - Jab We met
A catchy song with a mischievous touch to it. Shreya is a great singer and she clearly shows her versatility in this song. It's a pure pleasure to listen to her ...
#9 Deewangi - Om Shanti Om
Another great foot-tapping music from Om Shanti Om. It's a rocking number and a super hit. Perfect for your dance parties.
#10 Hum To Aise Hain - Laaga Chunari Mein Daag
A song full of life and the " folky " music make this song fun to listen to
I'd love to hear from you if you think some of these songs don't deserve to be on the list or just send me your opinion. My next update will be published on Jun/1/2008 and I'd love to hear from you on your choice for the Top 10 list. Until then ...
