Where was I all these days?

Thanks to the cybercafe in Frazer Town, Bangalore where I had the good opportunity to listen to Atif Aslam crooning "Adat" and when I enquired with the cybercafe's owner he replied the song's from "Ek Pal" but on a search on MusicIndiaOnline I stumbled across "Tere Bin" which I understand has become some kind of a "National Anthem" here in India. The song sung by Atif and composed by Mithoon is a must listen and has been used for the movie "Bas Ek pal". Mithoon the 21 year old composer of the song is from India whereas Atif hails from Pakistan. The combination has been deadly. I believe they are working on new material as well. "Bas Ek Pal", the title track sung by Kay Kay and Sunidhi is also a good number with some lovely guitar riffs and licks. Nice work by Mithoon, Vivek and Pritam.

The other song that I couldn't resist asking the cybercafe owner details about was "Aa Paas Aa" by Shreya Goshal from the movie "Ankahee" though the bass guitar reminded me of Harris Jayraj's "Zara.." or his Tamil original "Vaseegara".

I haven't listened to some good Indian music for long and what a relief to hear songs as these. You cannot afford to miss these lovely songs.
