| Song: Snow (Hey Oh) Album: Snow (Hey Oh) – EP Type: Rock Artist: Red Hot Chili Peppers Rating: 4.6 Mellow song with a cool, perky riff. Love Anthony Kiedis’ vocals on this. |
| Song: Aisa Jadoo Album: Khakee Type: Bollywood Singers: Sunidhi Chauhan Music Director: Ram Sampath Lyricist: Sameer Rating: 4.1 Sunidhi displays here phenomenal range – from the mellow/sensuous to the full-throated. Cool party song. |
| Song: Main Chali Main Chali Album: Professor Type: Bollywood Singers: Mohd Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar Music Director: Shankar-Jaikishan Lyricist: Shailendra Rating: 4.9 Goosebump inducing love song. Couldn’t help but notice that Lata resorted to a falsetto at one “yeh na poocho kidhar” and even trailed off at another. |
| Song: Duniya Ye Duniya Badi Gol Album: Dev D Type: Bollywood Singers: Amit Trivedi Music Director: Amit Trivedi Lyricist: Amitabh Bhattacharya Rating: 3.7 A Folk-Electronic-Rock fusion. An unusual composition from Amit Trivedi – as usual. |
