Later there comes a ''remix version'' of ''Yeh Ishq Hai''. This time around, the arrangements stay on to be completely Western, though one doesn''t mind that at all as Jab We Met only continues it''s fun ride with every passing song. "
Soon there is a follow up to ''Mauja Hi Mauja'' as yet another track soaked in ''bhangra'' flavor arrives in the form of ''Nagada Nagada
Nagada Baja''. A full on beats number that doesn''t have a nanosecond of empty space in it''s 4 minutes duration, the song has Sonu
Nigam singing with full gusto and refusing to take a breather.
No, there isn''t anything novel here that you get to hear here but it is that instantly catchy and recollection factor which makes ''Nagada''
a number that doesn''t do any harm to the album. Expect this song also to add on to the list of DJ favorites for celebration times, even though
one can''t help but remember Sonu''s own ''Ishq Vishq Mein Pyaar Vyaar Mein Number One Punjabi'' Chorit Chori Chupke Chupke.
After all the fun and ''dhamaal'' comes a track which belongs to the kind that Pritam would have loved to compose in each of his films.
''Aao Milo Chalo'' is yet another road track after ''Tum Se Hi'' and promises to make a very good impact when played in the
background. Dipped in melody, the song is rendered in a way only Shaan can and it is good to hear him croon a lovable number which has
innocence written all over it.
A track about two youngsters on a journey together and enjoying every moment of the journey ahead, it also has a surprise thrown in when
Ustad Sultan Khan makes a brief appearance for an ''aalaap''. ''Aao Milo'', just like ''Tum Se'' has an immense ear pleasing value to it
that adds on to the collection of your car favorites for a long ride.
If you have liked lounge music with an Indian classical touch, chances are high that you would lap up ''Aaoge Jab Tum'' too.
Crooned by Ustad Rashid Khan, this melodious track has some sensitive writing by Irshad Kamil. The song is put to tune by guest composer
Sandesh Shandilya who was responsible for the soundtrack of Socha Na Tha.
''Aaoge Jab Tum'' has an old world charm to it which makes one remember the songs from films directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee or
Gulzar. Put it on repeat mode and switch off the lights; you would surely have a peaceful night ahead.
The best is reserved for the end as the ''Theme music'' turns out to be an elaborate 5 minutes piece which makes you give two thumbs up to the
album. An oriental touch to the sound of flute which plays throughout the musical piece makes you remember ''My Heart Will Go On''
Titanic. Also coming together of chorus and an extensive orchestra creates a grand impact, something which has been a hallmark of music
from Karan Johar films. Expect this piece to make a very good impact if it plays in the opening title sequence or as a background score.
In 2007, Pritam may have been come up with good music in number of films such as Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Awarapan, Hattrick, Kya Love Story
Hai and Just Married. But if there is one album that impresses most after Life...In A Metro and turns out to be most satisfying
experience, it is Jab We Met.
The album is a perfect example of how to get a quality soundtrack which mixes songs for different segments of audience. One which is looking
for instant chartbusters to tap the feet on Mauja Hi Mauja, Yeh Ishq Hai, Nagada Nagada and another which feasts on music that is as
peaceful and soothing as it gets Tum Se Hi, Aao Milo Chalo, Aaoge Jab Tum, Theme music.
You don''t want to miss this one!
