Cocktail.
Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, Daina Penty.
Pritam and Various Artists.
Irshad Kamil.
Cocktail's music is exactly like a cocktail, Mixture, Fresh, Refreshing, New, Different, Vibrant, Unique, Creative, and New Age. Its uber cool, mesmerizing, and very appealing! Also The entire album is sung by almost a Dozen singers, all new voices, fresh and young!! The First impressions of the movie as well as music has already made a Huge fan base for the movie! Here is my review of the entire album!
Tumhi Ho Bandhu - Neeraj Shridhar & Kavita Seth.
The First song of the movie to be aired and created waves all around instantly. Catchy, upbeat and a out n out Pritam track.. Neeraj doesn't disappoint and Kavita Seth is good as always.. Lyrics by Irshad Kamil is still inspired from Rockstar style in this track! Somewhere you find the beats a lil louder, but overall the song is a Party popper! and Its Good :) 3/5
Daaru Desi - Benny Dayal & Shalmali Kholgade.
We LOVE Guitar, no matter what bring on the sound of Guitar and the song becomes Awesome! Daaru Desi is different though! Not only the guitar rendition is fresh, but the song itself Rocks!! It makes you feel as if its actually playing in reverse when sung! Awesome composition by Priam to come up with such a unique tone ( I hope its his own :P ) But hey, Pritam's Pungi was amazing, and so is Daaru Desi! Already a HIT and I say it is a SUPERHIT track! Such a free flowing song, sung equally freely by Shalmali registering her 2nd hit in no time after Pareshaan!! Daaru Desi is 1 of the best songs of this album! Its Very Good. 3.5/5
Yaariyaan - Mohan Kannan & Shilpa Rao.
An out n out Soft Rock track, wherein the lead guitar is played by Saif Ali, kinda cool. And like Saif displaying his talent, Bollywood finally gives Mohan Kannan, Agnee's lead singer, a chance to display his talent! and he has sung from his heart no doubt about that! The lyrics could have been better, still it maybe demanded by the script so cant complain! The Song is easy on ears, soft rock has a feel good element in it and this song doesn't disappoint in calming you down! Its Good 3/5
Yaariyaan Reprise - Sunidhi Chauhan & Arjit Singh.
I mentioned earlier this album has all new voices, fresh and young.. and 1 of the fresh voices of this album is this NEW Sunidhi Chauhan track! You wont believe how AMAZING Sunidhi has sung this 1. Maan gaye usthad! Better than Mohan, maybe, but you will surely notice the difference between a Pro playback Singer and a Live Singer when u listen to this Reprise version! Its basically just Piano and Jhankar, but Sunidhis voice is very soothing, you will be forced to close your eyes and just be within yourself! Amazing what music can do to you! Arjit Singh is also very good with his High Pitch part, bringing in a Sufiyana touch to the track! Its Very Good. 3.5/5
Tera Naam Japdi Phira - Javed Anwar, Nikhil D'Souza, Shefali Alvaris
Out n Out a DJ Track! Will be played in Pubs all across! Get on the dance floor and groove to this track! Punjabi lyrics, groove, dance beats, and Shefali Alvaris + Nikhil taking over the English Touch is quite awesome! Nikhil D'Souza is proving to be an outstanding singer!! and Javed Anwar voice instantly reminds you of Gurdas Maan! Its a Disco track, what else should I say! Its Good 3/5
Tera Naam Japdi Phira ( Version 2 ) - Javed Anwar, Nikhil D'Souza, Shefali Alvaris
Dint I say its a DJ track? Well this 1 is nothing but a REMIX and a more of how it plays inside the brain of a DJ! I usually don't like remix tracks! They are simply loud and mixed and remixed and more of remixing. Its Average 2.5/5
Second Hand Jawaani - Neha Kakkar, Miss Pooja & Nakkash Aziz
Until now all the tracks earned above 3, but you pick up any album you will get 1 track completely out of the lot! 2nd hand Jawaani is the track you listen to once and then skip it always! Lyrics like Khabro ki college ka mein Professor hu baby, Aiyashii ka computer ka mein processor hu baby, makes you think IT has reached So Far!! Only good thing abt this track is Neha Kakkar and Nakkash's singing! Also the beats are like good.. Thik hai yaar, 1 track out of the album doesn't decide the fate of the album! It is about average 2/5.
And now I am sorry but I have saved the Best 2 tracks of the album for the last :P
Luttna ( Saif Ul Malook ) - Masuma Anwar, Anupam Amod & Sahir Ali
okay, so here we go, starts with a harmonium chord, and suifness, UNTIL the beats kick in!! 1 beat, 2 beats, 3 beats, the then you will feel Arey the beats are out of order, kuch bhi hai.. and then the chorus hits you and beats falls into places and You are ABDUCTED by Sudden Sound Waves and Flanges! This kinda sound mixing is highly creative and let me warn can sweep you of the ground! Be prepared to hit by a Fresh Wave of Awesomeness! Sufiness and New Age music at its BEST! Awesome lyrics here Irshad Kamil doesn't disappoint! But the USP of this song is the PUNCH of beats and the FLANGES and SOUND WAVES and the MIX and the AWESOMENESS! WOW, its brilliant 4/5
Luttna ( Version 2 ) - Masuma Anwar, Anupam Amod & Sahir Ali
I don't know if this is version 2 or the original track. because till yesterday original tracks were suppose to be the more simpler version and the remixes to be an add on,, anyways this is Luttna without Punchy beats and the sound waves but kuch liya hai toh kuch diya bhi hai! Its a Soft Rock with soothing drum beats and Lead Guitar! This is much like a movie song, but I so WANT the Other Lutnna to be a part of movie! This is not bad though, here you will listen to real Sufi voices of Anwar Amod and Ali, three Aces :P and its good 3/5
and here we go, my FAV, Heard it like 100times by now already!
JUGNI - Arif Lohar & Harshdeep Kaur
Warning - Listen to this track at your own risk..
Okay so before you judge that oh freak yet another JUGNI! Whats the obsession of lyricists with this Jugni word, lemme tell you this JUGNI is a Folk song from Pakistan, so throw out all your assumptions! K so this song I 1st heard over net while I was following Coke Studios of Pakistan. And I fell in love with instantly! It is Mind Blowing! I was listening to it at 3am, till 5am, at 4am got up and did Head banging, just couldn't stop myself! This is the best song of this year by far! infact this is the BEST overseas song we have ever brought into Bollywood! yes, JUGNI is a CULT EPIC Track, its so raw and refine, its so Sufi and Rock, its so good so good you will find it difficult to stop listening to it! you will be just lost and you will be automatically start chanting - JUGNIji and DUM GHUTKOO.. DUM GHUTKOO..Go on to you-tube and listen to the coke studio version and then listen to this Cocktail version, the major difference is the ROCK element ( by now you must have got it Cocktail is a Soft Rock based Album ) and the Mixing.. Pritam cant be given the credit but ya for bringing in such an awesome track from our neighboring country, kudos Pritam! ITS LEGENDARY 5/5
So overall Cocktail is an outstanding Album! The best Album so far of 2012! (Hence this review by me which I think it deserved) Believe me this album is Awesome!
Overall Its EXCELLENT 4/5!
My Picks - JUGNI, LUTNNA(saif), Daaru Desi, Yaariyan Reprise..
Have a Good Time listening! :)
