Bollywood music has always taken inspiration from Hollywood music, be it Bappi Lahiri or Anu Malik. In fact, we have been ridiculed for our music from the '80s and the '90s, which were basically rehashes of hits like Bangles, Thriller, etc. Even in the late '90s, we had movies that blatantly copied from the latest chartbusters. With A R Rahman winning plaudits for his movie, we hope that this will change.
Also, it is a refreshing change when we actually see the latest music directors trying not to copy foreign music, but actually create something that is in tandem with the quality of global music. Karthik Calling Karthik music is a refreshing, zingy album that remains with you not because it is revolutionary or something, but just because it endeavors to do something different as compared to the other music albums. The entire album has a retro feeling that piddles into modern music now and then, creating an awesome sync for those Mp3 players and iPods of today.
However, remember that the album does not have that one song that would take the nation by storm,with Jaane Yeh Kya Hua being just another diamond in this diamond studded album.
All the tracks have a discoish feeling to them, with some of them actually going into the realms of trance. The vocals are very different from what we see in our 'local' music, and this album will be playing in several car decks for a long time to come. Shankar Ehsaan Loy have again come up with a successful album that really peps you up before your work day.
