He is known as the king of Punjabi Pop superstar who brought a new image into Punjabi Pop world since his a debue release Chithiye Ni Chithiye in 1992. And now he is back again, with ravishing music of Jaidev Kumar on T-Series with fresh new 8 traping songs. Harbhajan Mann has vocalised brand new voice in this album with the production of Jaidev Kumar. The album is going pretty well all over .. !!
The album starts off with the title song HAAYE MERI BILLO, the song is good which falls into the POP category. Actually these days T-Series is bringing all of its Bhangra artists into Pop category which isn't that exciting. As we can see there is rarely bhangra instruments such as tumbi, dhol, dhad used in T-Series' albums now. But afterall the song is still good.
Ok here it comes now, the track YAARA MERE YAARA. Ok I am gonna tell the truth about this track that how I felt. When Ilistened to album first time I was like its an average song, but once I saw its video on T.V. which looked great and I was like WHOA!! How come I didn't know such a great song was in the album. It can be concluded that videos of great influence on tracks. The track is bomb, its nice and simple, no over-production.
Following the sweet romantic slow temped song YAAD JEHI ONDI REHNDI HAI, the track is awesome, lol of course you can't use it on the dance floor, its only for personal feelings and stuff, I think the song is good and it had become a smash hit in India. Such tunes are found very often in Bhangra albums, so we gotta take advantage of it.
JINNE TUSI SOHNE HO, comes up next. Its a normal song which has nothing special in it. Nothing new and not much exciting music either. So this is an average song and the album comes down a bit over here.
NAZAR LAG JAYE NAA continues the success of the album. Its kind of tranced song, a BIT similar to Nachlai (from his previous album Nachlai). The song is good, but such kind of songs are mostly hit only in India very rarely in North American countries. But I think its going safe over here too because many DJ's have remixed this tune.
Finally, as usual the team of the brothers Gursewak Mann & Harbhajan Mann himself is back. And its a sad song ADH VICHALEON which is AWESOME. If you into sad songs then you must listen to this. I just love the team of these two bros, its just EXCELLENT, even in Nachlai it was great in the track Kali plus in their previous albums. I hope they come with an album together, which I bet will be a smash hit. As going towards the track its a must hear for our traditional fans.
Followed by another sad song KARKE DESH BAGANA, which is great too. I rate all the sad songs by Harbhajan Mann, I dunno why though, lol. The song can be bit compared to the songs CHITHIYE NI CHITHIYE in lyrics because it has common about daughters.
Ending up the album is another sad song SUNEHA SOHNE YAAR DA on the lovers who are apart for some reason which I don't know, lol. As I mentioned before I have to rate his sad songs, so this one is sweeeeet too. But hey, this is only for traditional fans. Such songs are hard to understand for the people who go just for the music but not towards lyrics. For example, lets take a track Putt Sardara Da by Ranjit Mani, which is just too embarrasing in lyrics, and I have seen such foolish people who just pump up the volume when Mani says "Putt Sardara Da", lol c'mon friends sort it out, at least listen to rest of the lyrics beside that sentence "Putt Sardara Da."
And that was the end of the album. Which wasn't bad at all, was it? I think Jaidev had done good job, but yO you better start using bhangra instruments such as dhad, dhol, tumbi, algozey as Sukhshinder Shinda does. After all my rating to the album is 8 out of 10. |
