Mithoon - comes like a Maseeha to bollywood music industry, when it is dreaded by Copycats like Pritam and The one who sings/sounds/composes similar all time(now)..Himesh Baba.

If you are waiting for a HIT MUSIC album to ROCK you..Then your wait is over..Here it is…THE TRAIN composed by young Mithoon… Yes..He is the same guy behind Anwar’s Maula mere,Javeda Zindagi and Tere bin from Bas ek pal.

Another notable fact here is this album was initially planned to be composed by Himesh Reshammiya but because of his Busy schedules, composition was given to Young,promising Mithun. And I’m glad that this HAPPENED..Otherwise we would have got JUST ANOTHER SIMILAR ALBUM of Himesh… This album has got some fresh content in it…

Ok..Enough extra talk..about this music album,

11 - Mithoon & Kshitij Tarey - Mausam [Progressive Mix Goldeyy]

Woh Ajnabee - Is the song having a catchy tune which wont let your hopes down.. Initially on watching promos I wasnt impressed by the song. But when I listened to complete song..whoaa!! What a song…Shilpa has done well and so as Mithoon.. Especially the background strings keeps humming in your mind even if song is over..

The song comes with club mix (Remix by DJ Akbar Sami) for which you can tap your feet. Again what comes into your mind when you remember this song is Shilpas magnetic voice Woh Ajnabee..woh woh woh woh ajnabee… Great work by Shilpa Rao..

Mausam is the best song of the album sung by Mithoon which I got confused initially with Atif Aslam. According to me it is the successor of the list
Woh Lamhe(zeher) Aadat(Kalyug) Tere Bin(Bas Ek Pal) Now Mausam(The Train)

If you liked the above songs then you will 100% like this song. Excellently sung and composed by Mithoon.Mithoon has his own shades like AR REHMAN which makes you always love his songs…

He has proved that he is good singer too. His rendition is perfect compared to Woh Ajnabee. Added to this, icing on the cake is the Sayeed Quadri’s lyrics which again gives a unique feeling to the song LIKE ITS PREDECESSORS did. While beeti lamhein is reminder of Sweet memories of life…This ones about the sorrows given by life.

Mausam comes in TWO re-mixes, Club mix by DJ Akbar Sami and Progressive mix by Goldeyy..Both are for remix lovers but none come closer to the feel of original Mausam.

Beete Lamhein starting is similar to Maula Mere(Anwar) and is extremely soft/soothing on ears sung by KK and Kshitij. It is the song which you can add to “hear-when-you-are-lonely” list. Lyrics is very meaningful written by Sayeed quadri. Kshitij’s rendition of Beete lamhein gives again a haunting effect like in Javeda Zindagi(Anwar). Light usage of guitar in background adds to the effect of song.

The lounge Mix of the song done by Goldeyy reminds me of ENIGMA music initially. But starts with slow paced KK’s rendition. Again a soothing song and you cant make out the difference between original version and this mix if you arent a keen listener.

Teri Tamanna is another excellent work by Mithoon which has rock music in between. Sung by KK and Zubeen.. The western music gives it an urban touch. It portrays one’s intensity of love… A fast paced song which appeals to everyone. Both singers sing alternatively setting up the mood of the song.

The EURO MIX by Goldeyy does an excellent job for Dance floors. An excellent dance number with seductive mood…

When I first heard The Train- An inspiration starting with words like
Zindagi TRAIN hai…Waqt ke TRACK pe… followed by Train’s sound..I thought its just a below average song. But I was wrong, then shaan croons to the lyrics of Saeed Quadri. Another thing I liked about this song is that the background beats are rendered in same way as if trains sound when it is moving. The in-between TRAIN ALERTS like..Please confirm your tickets..Train is arriving at station…etc makes the song perfectly blend into the theme of movie THE TRAIN..Though may not be a HIT MUSIC, but does a good job.

This is one album I was dying for..
I’ll give it a rating of 5/5 (After a long time..I got such an album that I could give 5 stars)
