The Train

After giving super hits like ‘Tere Bin’, ‘Maula Mere Maula’, and ‘Javeda’, guess who’s back? Yeah, it’s music director Mithoon , and this time he’s back with the music of an entire album to his credit.

Mithoon’s serene, soothing music is impressive in itself, but add to it the emotionally enriched poetry of Sayeed Quadri, and vocals of KK, Zubeen, Mithoon, Shaan and Shilpa Rao…and lo, you’ve got the music of The Train. Very impressive for a newcomer, and a must-buy, if you’d take my word.

The album starts with ‘Woh Ajnabee’, a foot-tapping, clubby track that kick starts the show, and then come the soft and soulful songs like ‘Beetein Lamhe’, ‘Mausam’, and ‘Teri Tamanna’. If you liked the music of Life…In a Metro, chances are that you’ll just love these tracks.

The last track, ‘The Train - An Inspiration’ is the only one that comes as a bit of a disappointment, both in terms of music and lyrics, but Shaan’s vocals make up for it to some extent.

There are, of course, remixes for almost every song, in keeping with the trend. But unlike most of the remixes which are quite trashy, these ones are considerably fun.

Overall, a good album. With music like this, Mithoon’s got a long long way to go.
