Song by Song: Kise Awaz Doon (Jugaad)

He's a singer from Pakistan. He sounds like Atif. And he sings beautifully. Finally, after his album Koi Chehra, Adeel gets to sing in Bollywood with Jugaad.

Kise Awaz doon comes up as a bonus track or a collaboration between Sachin Gupta, the composer for Jugaad and Adeel, as it's a good thing for both, the singer and the movie. Sachin Gupta had composed this fairly good song for Adeel's album Koi Chehra but the song and even the album were hardly noticed. So now the song has been put in the movie so that the movie gets a good song added to its soundtrack and the singer gets himself noticed.

Kise Awaz doon is a light song which starts well and Adeel's voice seems noticeable from the very first line. Though the singer sounds a bit Atif-ish and one may expect the song to go high in the same way as Atif's songs go, the song goes on low notes only and still sounds quite good. Another positive point of the song is lyrics, which are written by Adeel himself and the make the song worth listening.

Overall, the song is an above average one and one may like it well while in a light mood.

Song by Song: Tu Hai Rab Mera (Jugaad)

When I read the title Tu hai Rab Mera, my first thought was of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, but as soon as I listened to the song, I was sure that this was not any cheap attempt to cash the popularity of the movie but a genuinely good song.

With the music of Jugaad, young composer Sachin Gupta proves that he has something in him as he comes up with quite good music soon after his Bollywood debut, Dil Kabaddi.

The song Tu hai rab mera is a Sufi style song sung by Krishna with mostly Punjabi lyrics and English background vocals. Krishna has recently started singing quite a number of songs solo and he's doing simply great. 'Tu hi Rab Mera' is one more in the list.

The music of the song has been experimented with in many areas, especially background vocals as they range from English ones in female voice to male-voiced dhoom-dana-dere-dana types to slow alaaps and more. One interesting thing with the song is the Dhoom-dana-dere-dana vocals of background which sound a lot like those in 'Yeh Hausla' from Dor.

Lyrics of Rohit Sharma are good. A small piece of the lyrics is here.

Tu hai rab mera rab jaanda hai
Mainu kaafir keh ke na sattaya kar
Mainu mod de paanve lakh vari
Mere ishq ka maan ta rakhya kar..

In short, the song is good and at least worth a try if you like Sufi style Bollywood singing. I hope you like it.
