To Qwest.
thanks for all your updates on Himeshji.
I am sorry if I hurt your feelings, I guess I was a bit hyped, because I have read people writing so many negative things about Himeshji that it makes me mad. He has done phenominally well. I gifted my sister a cd- the one and only Himesh, and she says when she plays it her long drive to work seems shorter, she just rocks to his music. He also said that he became a singer by chance. I had the great privilege of meeting him and Vinit in Toronto, and he is such a lovely person, no airs about him. 👍🏼

Congratulations Qwest 👏 on your tireless reporting of Himeshji, I am a great fan of his, when I hear his songs, I feel quite different, also I had the good fortune of meeting him in Toronto, I knew the organizers of his tour and as such met him and Vinit, He is shy but very down to earth, he told me that nothing happens before its time and he has waited a long tine for this sucess and he thanks his fans, because without them, he could not have made it, also he was surprised to see so many thousands of people attending his concerts, in fact he did an encore concert in New Jersey, He has a UK tour planned in Oct, he will be performing at Wembley stadium to a crowd of 18000, how is that for star power? ⭐️ ❓ ❓

Himesh refusing films these days?
By MIO Team
Sep 25, 2006, 09:16


Sometime back it was showering Himesh Reshammiya all over, with one album following the other. With the emergence of Himesh, Bollywood music industry was suddenly flooded with hits. But now singer-composer Himesh Reshammiya is seeking a break and wants to cut down on his work. Recently he has refused many films for playback singing and composing, sending shockwave in the industry, leading filmmakers to panic. Himesh has rejected more than15-16 films. Everybody has been wondering why Himesh has decided to cut down works drastically. The reason is that Himesh has decided to slow down and give more priority to quality rather than quantity. He will be taking up only three films in the coming year. He says that cutting down on work will only boost his career. This is a stunning decision for someone who is at the peak of his career. Wonder why? Inside sources reveal that there's something up the composer's sleeve, likely to be a big project.

"I'm not permitted to reveal too much at this stage, but I'm venturing into a couple of new projects. They're related to the entertainment industry. It could be with music, films or maybe even something else. What I'm going to do is related to music and Bollywood. Also I've decided to work only in big films. Gone are the days when I used to do movies in bulk. Now, I'm looking at exclusivity in my work. Job satisfaction is my priority now. I've achieved what I wanted to, now I only want to do the best," says Himesh. Wait until he makes the announcement of the same on October 29 at the Wembley stadium in London, where over 18,000 people will be present. Himesh surely knows the trick to make news!

"I May Not Do Sholay," says Himesh

Faridoon Shahryar, IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, October 10, 2006]

"I may not do Sholay as my dates are clashing with the schedule…I will be meeting Ramu Ji next week to sort it out," said Himesh Reshammiya at a press meet in Mumbai yesterday where he was supposed to make a 'big announcement'.

But except for getting paly-paly with the media the man-with-the-cap didn't divulge any details.

After a successful US concert tour, he will be off to a UK tour and he shall be taking a media entourage from India to cover his 'Big Moments'.

He claimed that his gig at the Wembley Stadium in London at the end of October will be a colossal show. So, is he actually starring in a 100 crore international project? "No, I can't say as of now. There's a lot of speculation in the media…Some people have even given the film a name: 'Aap Ka Suroor' but... ... all that is speculation and nothing else…I will be making a big announcement soon…." He said. Meanwhile, he is all set to launch Himesh Reshammiya School of Music where students from all walks of life will be given musical training. "It was my dad's dream…I am just fulfilling it."

Himesh also seemed to be in a damage-control-mode as he clarified that he has had no differences with singer Sonu Nigam and that he has immense regard for him as a singer. He admitted that there had been an overdose of Himesh music as several films released back to back and somehow his voice was heard a bit too much. "I have decided to cut back on my work. I shall do selective but quality work." Although you've been accused of being a bit too prolific but no fingers have been raised on the originality of your compositions. "It is God's grace. I try and compose at least two to three songs a day. I have never tried to copy and I never will."

Love him or hate, but you just can't ignore him. Himesh Reshammiya is determined to make a mark even when his critics are baying for his blood.

Just when you think that you've seen enough of Himesh Reshammiya this year already, you get to listen to yet-another film soundtrack that bears his name on it. The year 2004 has already witnessed numerous musical scores by Himesh Reshammiya. Arguably one of the more consistent music composers of today, Himesh has successfully established his own distinct style of music. With him at the helm of affairs, one can safely expect a musical score high on melody and soul. Siddhivinayak Creations' latest offering Blackmail, starring Ajay Devgan and SunielShetty, has Mr. Reshammiya in charge of the music department. This is the third time Himesh is working with the producer Siddhivinayak Creations after a mediocre score in latter's Bandhan and the melodious tunes of Kahin Pyaar Na Ho Jaye. Sameer handles the lyrics department this time around instead of Sudhakar Sharma who was associated with the producer's previous two films. Ironically, this is also the third time the two male protagonists are working together after Dilwaale and Qayamat. The album kicks off with a sweet and subtle "Akhiyan Lara Jaa". The ever-dependable Alka gets to sing most of the song while Udit just chips in with a few lines at the end of the song. The tune is nothing spectacular but it still works mainly because Himesh has kept the orchestra rather simple and the overall composition is quite soothing. Although, the lyrics by Sameer are just "kaam chalao", this song won't hurt if repeated. The next track is a variation of Akhiyan Lara Jaa. Though it starts off in fashion quite similar to the original version, the variation comes in the form of tabla beats instead of the bass drum beats used in the original. Himesh nicely differentiate it from the original and moreover, the tabla makes it better than the original itself! Sameer is at it yet again with "Imli Imli". A song on the lines of Kambakht Ishq & Ishq Kameena, it has been sung by Hema Sardesai and a rather unknownJayesh. Solely aimed at the frontbenchers, expect this low on lyrics but sensually sung track to be picturized on a hot item girl. Not a filler song by any means, it does remind one of Himesh's earlier item number "Dilli ki sardi" and is just another of those item numbers that won't top the charts but still serve the purpose. Sonu Nigam teams up with Alka for "Jaana Nahi Tha". Sonu is his usual self but Alka sounds disinterested and gets annoyingly shrill at times. Strangely the song has been named "Jaana Nahi Tha" whereas it would have made much more sense to name it "Maine Dil Tumhein De Diya" as these words appear more often than the title of the song. Coming across more as a Nadeem-Sharavan composition, the song sounds nice and picks up well after the initial interlude is over. The tune is nothing new yet it works as an above average composition that could make for repetitive listening. How can there not be an instrumental in an album these days?? "Jaana Nahi Tha" instrumental comes up next which is just a straight instrumental without the voices of the singers. Himesh should have added a bit of variation to this one. Next up is another typical Himesh number called "Kaun Kehta Hai". Shreya Ghoshal takes over from Alka in this one and Udit reappears as the male voice. Sameer's lyrics are nothing to write home about and so are vocals but it's the composition that holds the song together. What initially starts off as a run-of-the-mill romantic song takes a pleasant turn with Shreya singing "Saawan bhi aaya re, baadal bhi chaaya re" to heavy drums in the background. Yet another number on the album that one won't mind rewinding. Himesh successfully maintains the consistency of the album so far. If you ever wondered how the title track from Abbas Mustaan's Humraaz, would sound when mixed with "Har kisi ko nahi miltayahan pyaar zindagi mein" from Firoz Khan'sJaanbaaz, listen to "Tune Di Beqarari". Himesh seems heavily inspired by Kalyanji-Anandji's tune from Jaanbaaz as he lifts it completely and meshes it with his own "Sanam Mere Humraaz" from the Bobby-Akshaye starrer. Beginning with a nice violin piece, it gathers momentum with Shaan doing most of the singing with Shreya lending support. To his credit, the music director successfully blends the two songs but Sameer could have surely done better with the lyrics. It would have been much better had the makers labeled this one as a tribute to the legendary duo of Kalyanji-Anandji. This way, Himesh would have escaped the accusation of lifting a past hit and would also have pleased the composers of the original classic. Next up is the mandatory sad version of "Tune Di Beqarari". It really is a "sad" song as it falls flat and the supposedly sad lyrics don't leave any impact whatsoever. I guess the makers loved it so much that they decided to repeat it not once, not twice but thrice! The only song on the entire album that deserves to be skipped!

On the whole, Blackmail, is a pretty consistent album with no chart bursting number but no awfully bad tunes either. An above-average album with a couple of good tunes, it could do well for itself if publicized properly. Himesh doesn't disappoint but he's done better in the past. Listen to it with no expectations and you will be quite pleased with the outcome.
