Ahmed Jehanzeb: Laut Aao 4/5
Music Reviews
1 / Jul / 2008
Unlike most of the other classical fusion singers, Ahmed Jehanzeb has a knack of writing extremely catchy melodies and coming up with some very fresh ways to arrange them. What I like most about Ahmed’s work is the thought that goes into every song, there are layers of backing vocals and instruments that give his songs a lush orchestral wash without losing any of the pop sensibility. The opening track “Chandni Raatein” will have you singing the chorus long after its over, it’s a fun cheerful number and sung with a lot of character. “Main Aur Tu” has classical raag singing layered over a kicking beat that goes into a soaring orchestral chorus.
While “Bol Mahiya Ve” is a little uninspired because of its forced desi-ness, songs like “Laut Aao” have a funky groove that is soothing and sexy. I don’t approve of having too many remixes in the album, but thankfully this one has only 3 and interestingly enough, one is a “blues mix’ of “Tere Bina Jeena” which at the very least was something different.
This is a great album in every sense of the word. It has exquisite production that really brings out wonderfully crafted melodies of Jehanzebs songs. Jehanzeb progresses with every piece of work he puts out and this album should be regarded as one of the best releases of the year.
