Kites in the Sky - Listen here Singers: Hrithik Roshan and Suzanne D'Mello Lyricist: Asif Ali Beg An English song, that starts off with the euphonic voice of Suzanne that gives you the feeling of a song that is sung in an Opera. In comes the voice of Hrithik, who sings the song commendably, perhaps singing to convey that his beau and he are madly in love with each other, in the movie. With minimal music in the background, the lyrics by Asif are quite noticeable. Yet another slow melodious and pleasant song in the album, showing the gentle Kite fly high! 5. Fire Love is Hell - Listen here Singers: Rajesh Roshan, Vishal Dadlani, Anirudh Bhola, Anushka Manchanda Lyricist: Asif Ali Beg That dance number we were all waiting for! Sounds like a `pubbing' number that starts off with techno beats and probably might show Hrithik's dance prowess in the movie. When the singers start singing the song, it actually gives a feeling of a Hindu ritual or a mantra, and then later the tempo increases with electro music while the singers sing `Fire' loudly and continue. No doubt, the music will make you dance unintentionally. You would probably keep humming, `Fire.Love is Hell'! 6. Fire Love is Hell (English Version) - Listen here Singers: Rajesh Roshan, Vishal Dadlani, Anirudh Bhola, Anushka Manchanda Lyricist: Asif Ali Beg The English version of `Fire Love is Hell', though only the Hindi lines are changed to English. The beats are the same. The inclusion of this song in this album gives it the `International touch' and probably used by the makers for the international release of the movie. In toto, `Kites' - the album is gentle and not with too many frills. Rajesh Roshan has composed a fabulous album, whilst keeping in mind both the Indian and International audience. Focus will also be on his background score for the movie, which he would have pulled it off easily. Just like how the kite flies, this album is full of life and gentle. |
