With movies getting bigger and bigger with innovative ideas floating around their promotion, how could the small screen be far behind? Now songs from even television serials are being promoted like never before with songs from Star One's popular campus caper 'REMIX' being one of them. REMIX is the story of four different people - Tia, Ashi, Ranveer and Yuvi who have one common mission - MUSIC. And inspite of the serial and the album titled as 'REMIX', it is in fact a compilation of all original songs by AASMA rather than remixes of oldies.
1) Dil Ki Yeh Dhadkan [Music: Gaurav Issar, Lyrics: Amir Rizvi, Singers: Aasma]
There are number of new entrants who have composed for REMIX and Gaurav Issar is one of them. And doesn't he do a good job? A soft number to begin the album 'Dil Ki Yeh Dhadkan' is a typical college teenage love song with mushy lyrics and the kind of tune that suits anyone and everyone who dreams of meeting his/her true love one fine day. The number begins on a slow note but mid-way changes track to turn into a peppy song.
2) Remix [Music: Pritam, Lyrics: Amir Rizvi, Singers: Aasma and Rap by BlaaZe]
Those who have been watching this popular tele-serial would grab the title song of 'Remix' with both hands. Extremely foot tapping, lively and instant energizer, 'Remix' with music by current hot'n'happening Pritam is a winner for the youth brigade. BlaaZe begins the song with a rap to set the tone for this lively youthful campus number that has AASMA coming up with one of their best rendered and most popular tracks. Amir Rizvi's lyrics capture the mood of the campus life quite well and make REMIX one easily identifiable number.
3) Mast Mast (The Vikesh Mehta Mix) [Music: Vikesh Mehta, Lyrics: Amir Rizvi, Singers: Aasma, Rap by MC Sensor]
'Kahin Pe Nigahen Kahin Pe Nishana' - Remember the evergreen yesteryear's oldie? Well, this is what begins 'Mast Mast', yet another youthful number [as per the mood of the entire album], that has music by Vikesh Mehta who has been doing some work for Bollywood flicks since last few years. A hip-hop number, it is a dance floor number that could be one of the good inclusions for your New Years Eve party. One doesn't really have to hear the lyrics closely as the song is heavy on beats and rap that makes it foot tapping.
4) Love Station [Music: Naresh-Paresh, Lyrics: P A Sreekanth, Singers: Aasma, Rap by Bob]
After Amir Rizvi writing for the first three tracks, it is the turn of P A Sreekanth to write for 'Love Station' which is about 'Love Is In The Air...Feel It Everywhere'. A song that is completely devoted to LOVE from beginning to finish, it is young'n'rhythmic treat for Generation X with a lot of additional musical effects thrown in along with some good rap by Bob. Once this song is played, one gets a strong feeling that the album 'REMIX' is more of an amalgamation of peppy party songs. They work in totality when played together as a part of the album, rather than any single song trying to make a big impression!
5) Boom [Music: Deep, Lyrics: Sandeep Shrivastava, Singers: Aasma]
The party continues with 'Boom' that is easily the second best song after the title song of REMIX. This time on, the song is all about MUSIC with composer Deep and lyricist Sandeep Shrivastava truly dedicating the song to the spirit and enthusiasm related to music. A racy song that catches on to full speed from the first note itself, it deserves to have a music video dedicated to it as it has good potential to grow with every hearing. With good musical arrangements to boast of, it makes AASMA's rendition come out even more strongly to make 'Boom' a cool campus/party song!
6) Baad Mein Jahaan [Music: Vikesh Mehta, Lyrics: Sandeep Shrivastava, Singers: Aasma]
Vikesh Mehta comes back to compose 'Baad Mein Jahaan' that has shades of 'Dus Bahane' from 'Dus'. There is a different style of singing by all the singers hence giving 'Baad Mein Jahaan' a different flavor than the rest of the tracks, though the soul of the album still remains intact. One could even call this track a qawalli-western fusion and though the number doesn't exactly click on the first hearing, it becomes immensely enjoyable as you hear it a few times. A good track!
7) Dance Dance (Original and remix) [Music: Bappi Lahiri, Lyrics: Sandeep Shrivastava, Singers: Aasma and Bappi Lahiri]
Bappi Lahiri arrives on the scene with, what else, but 'DANCE DANCE'. The song is composed in an old fashioned manner with some good arrangements thrown in for additional effects. Bappi Lahiri chips in as well for this song about living life to the fullest and enjoying every moment of it by dancing all the while. Next comes a remix version of the same track that is done by Bappa and further enhances the DISCO DANCE mania.
As stated earlier, REMIX comes at the right time when Christmas season and NEW YEAR is just round the corner. Though one shouldn't expect anything out rightly unique or superlative from the album, it is good enough to be played on full throttle to have people jumping on the dance floor.
