JAI HO SONGS REVIEW

The album begins with an uplifting track sung by Wajid in a powerful voice. Energetic rhythm and interesting lyrics make this song an appealing listen. The orchestration is fine and blends well with the mood of the track.

A melodious track with a healthy rhythm carrying the typical Sufi touch graces us next. The lead singers do a very good job in bringing the much needed ambience for the track. The guitar follows with finesse and so does the rhythm. Good use of harmonica gives the track a different touch.

A typical north Indian folk track with appropriate orchestration and power packed moments. The orchestration is very much of the loud 80s Bollywood style containing all the color and vigour of the era.

The raciness from the previous track mellows down to a breezy melody supported well by lilting piano and Celtic Flute.  Based on the all time favorite C Major Scale of Western Classical Music, the track is a winner mainly for the efforts of the lead singer Armaan Malik. The Sufi Aalap by Atlamash Faridi is another added attraction for the track.

The pace returns with a House Mix and fine vocals by Amal Malik. The mixing is done quite well with good superimposition of various layers of the track. The track also has the 90s International Pop genre styled singing which might look slightly out of place for the current trend.

A short Dance number with neat vocals and orchestration composed by Devi Sri Prasad.  The track has foot tapping rhythm and various percussions like local drums, mridangam were blended with trance beats.  The song is a fusion of these genres in a balanced manner but fails to impress instantly.

An uplifting title track arrives next which is apparently used as the hero’s theme music. It is mixed competently and the House beats give it a paced up feel.  The lyrics are power packed and the track essentially speaks about motivating large group of audience.

The remix version of the song with added layers of trance and comprises of an additional rhythm section.  The mixing is superior compared to the original track in terms of blend between the percussions and vocals.

The remix version of this track is done again in House mix style. However, the excess usage of layering in the mix pales down the actual track.
