OMG Oh My God is the upcoming venture of Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal which has music by Himesh Reshammiya and a guest composition by Anjjan-Meet Brothers. It is interesting to see a different side of Himesh as he brings on some soulful music that is mainly about the almighty and His magic. Himesh's unique work makes it quite exclusive from the league of other contemporary soundtracks.
The album begins with the track Don't Worry (Hey Ram) in the vocals of Benny Dayal and Himesh Reshammiya. The background music adds a pinch of masti from the evergreen track Dum Maaro Dum [Hare Rama Hare Krishna]. The two tracks cannot be compared and are poles apart as this one is a pleasant experimentthat adds up a flavor of carefree life which is well penned with a mix of English words by Subrat Sinha. A modern avatar of prayer offerings, this one is a huge winner in the making.
The 'remix version' of this track is close to the original track with a mix of high note beats making it all the more vociferous. This version will certainly be able to enhance the splendor of discs and clubs.
Master of Sufi Kailash Kher adds rainbow of beautiful vocals in the track Mere Nishaan. This one is a soft track with a pleasant chorus in the background given by Anjjan - Meet Brothers. Lyricist Kumaar deserves an acknowledgement for his magnificent piece of work as he successfully brings to fore the predicament of the God who is helping today's thankless human beings. The musicalarrangements by guest composers Anjjan Meet - Brothers are really beautiful and aptly sketch the theme of the movie. It is an extremely mesmerizing number which would really do well in the movie.
Tu Hi Tu is a solo track sung by Mohd Irfan. This track begins with a gripping flute that catches up on beats gradually and paces on a fast track with high notes. This number very magnificently and rightly explains the presence andexistence of almighty within human heart. Himesh's composition is really appealing with a touch of rock element infused in it that will certainly grasp attention of the young listeners. Sameer's lyrics are good as always though the 'reprise version' is quite similar to the original with hardly any innovation to the original.
The 'unplugged' is a pliable edition which takes off with soft beats and is carried forward with a soulful play of flute, violin and piano, hence turning out to be immensely mesmerizing. This one is even better than the previous two adaptations of the same track, including the 'remix version' and invites one to close eyes and feel the presence of almighty around.
Go Go Govinda begins on high notes while skillfully using the shrill beats of drums to spice it up with the amazing vocals of Mika Singh and Shreya Ghoshal. Both artists have really complemented each other well which is also a strong forte of this already hit track. Theflow of enthusiasm in this track reminds of magic, masti and thrill of Janamashtmi and its Dahi Handi. Musical arrangements from Himesh are pleasant and exciting that really go well with the Govinda theme. Lyrics by Shabbir Ahmed are simple and straightforward, hence making the song all the more enjoyable. Ditto for the 'reprise' version which has Aman Trikha coming behind the mike.
Next to arrive is Hari Bol which is a solo composition in the vocals of Kirti Sagathia. This number is a folk based composition by Sachin-Jigar who have optimally utilized various shades of traditional Gujarati music. Altogether it is a nice experiment by the composer duo with Swanand Kirkire's lyrics going very well with the theme of this track.
The album is carried ahead with Oh My God (sound Track), a short enchantment of almighty lord by Zubeen Garg. Track is a pleasant gift for mind and soul that will make you sway in desire of God. Soul play of Flute is a rare gift which comes with the next track Krishna Theme. This is a magnificent classical jugalbandi of flute which also has a very soothing effect on the soul. A rare treat to enjoy!
Overall the album is an unusual experiment in itself with an already good response for Go Go Govinda. With rest of the songs making this score all the more rich and soulful lyrics adding on to the overall appeal, OMG Oh My God is indeed one of the memorable albums in the offering from Himesh.
