Music directors Iqbal & Yasin Darbar debut album is for a film directed by Amar Butal . The film has a feminine trendy concept where high society women and girls talk about their changing lifestyles, modern trends and sex lives. The film forays into lifestyles of four leading ladies belonging to different financial, social and age backgrounds. The film promises to be a female oriented fun entertainment and is enriched with high glamour and comical quotient. 'KKHZ' comprises acting talents of beautiful Mahima Chaudhry, vivacious Kim Sharma and adorable Vasundhra Das in lead roles. It will be third film of Rekha and Mahima's team work onscreen after 'Lajja' and 'Dil Hai Tumhara'. Ashmit Patel, Nikhil Chinnapa, Kabir Sadanand and Sachin Khedkar play their love interests. The music album has a couple of above average numbers with the evergreen bollywood diva Rekha’s sensous rendition of old classic number "Din Dhal Jaaye" from Dev Anand's 'Guide'  being one that is worth listening to.

The album opens with the title song KUDIYON KA HAI ZAMANA. The  punch-line "Kudiyon Ka Hai Zamana" from a favorite song from "Didi Tera Dewar Deewana" ('Hum Aapke Hai Kaun') proves source of inspiration for the theme and title of the film. The song is sung mainly by Sunidhi Chauhan and Jaspinder Narula.

The full throttle folksy voice of Jaspinder Narula and chirpy vocals of Sunidhi Chauhan hold the centre stage with full thrust and passion. New lyricist Sahil Sultanpuri jumbles up phrases and words of "Didi Tera Dewar" into new set of lyrics. Iqbal and Yasin Darbar play the conventional "Bhangra" music molded in Bollywood style of work. The song initiates with synchronized "Sarangi" followed by traditional Punjabi beats and claps embedded in fast paced orchestration. DJ Suketu builds up dancing passions by repetitive and thrusting music with loud vocals of Jaspinder and Sunidhi in contemporary club mix style in "Kudiyon Ka Hai Zamana (remix)".  Could be popular at weddings and mehendis.

DIN DHAAL JAYE: This number from one of Dev Anand’s great works Guide, rendered in the sensuous voice of Rekha is worth listening to. Yasin and Iqbal Darbar have played this in an unplugged fashion where there is minimum display of musical instrumentation while late S D Burman's composition was soulfully melodious. Rekha shows her flair of singing.

ABHI ABHI: Not a great soundtrack. It is a contemporary Bollywood duet with unimpressive musical arrangements sung by Udit Narayan and new singer Ayesha Darbar.

JAANAM:  A lovely track sung by Shaan. Shaan's refreshing voice and the endearing female chorus clubbed with fine piece of enchanting instrumentation in the background makes this a nice track. Sadhna Sargam accompanies Shaan in this delightful soundtrack that sings the lyrics expressing sentiments of a love struck heart. Shaan sings the male version in somber mood with almost negligible instrumentation in the background in the soundtrack "Jaanam (male version). The sad and morose mood is maintained as Sadhna Sargam sings the female version in light pitched instrumentation in the soundtrack "Jaanam (female version)". Sadhna sings "mukhra" in pensive mood that narrates loneliness and isolation of the beloved.

KAMREIN MEIN AAJA: Vasundhra Das comes with mike for the first time in raunchy and seductive that is enriched with hip-hop styled music in the soundtrack "Kamrein Mein Aaja feel". The song has desired hip-shaking flavor and with its westernized beat attire, it will catch pop genre's attention. Suzanne sings in background while Rahul Seth sings hip-hop lyrics in a funky way. The second version of "Kamrein Mein Aaja" comes in the voice of Shaan and Suzanne. Shaan sings with zeal and lifts the tempo with fast paced music supporting in the background.

"Kamrein Mein Aaja (Electro Probe Mix)" is contemporary disco number conceived to attract disco freaks and party animals with its foot-thumping nature. This time it's Chris McGuiness, Zoheb Khan, DJ Nawed and DJ-turned-actor Nikhil Chinnapa singing this remix soundtrack. It sounds as an exaggerated version where gallops of funky beats and loud chorus have been used to attract listeners.

Overall an okay album.
