Prashant Pillai, Ranjit Barot and others make an impressive presence in Bijoy Nambiar's Shaitan.
The mood changes to party time with “Nashaâ€. Prashant Pillai has done a lovely job in this colorful number. It has potential to be a hit. It has two version. The first version has vocals of impressive sounding Prashant Pillai and Bindu Nambiar. It uses some techno manipulations as well. But the second version titled, 'Nasha (Rock & Soul version)' has appealing vocals of resounding Ranjit Barot, Farhad Bhiwandiwala and Bindu Nambiar. This version has added hard-metal base rocking arrangements with likable 'fusion' to have a rock feel. This makes for a loud rocking number.
Amar Mohile is a guest composer for 'Josh'. Mohile's stylized horrifying impacts makes theatrical impacts. Lot of mixing in of Afro American hip-hop and Jazz. Colin Terrence along with Abhishek and Shraddha provide the vocals for this piece.
Suraj Jagan’s “Fareeda†has a death-rock feeling. Again Prashant Pillai mastery shows. Suraj Jagan is a vocalist we are sure to hear more about.
'O Yaara' could claim to be the Sufi –rock number. The song is intrinsically inclined with the 'fusion' based rock tones, divine 'qawalli' textured chorals and appealing vocalist impressions. Kirti Sagathia's ethnically folksy splurge in varying tones delivers out different emotional shades that connects with equally impressive sounding Preeti Pillai's feminine tones. The end result is a perfect background score which may be sticking around for a while.
'Pintya', a typical folksy festive soundtrack changes the mood and scenario entirely. Chandan Shive's throaty voice suits to the mood and tries to makes this as another notable happening on big screen.
Ranjit Barot, a prolific name in arranging makes hitherto efforts in composing out a nerve-racking theme-based track that gist out the feel of 'Shaitan' in remarkably composed 'Zindagi'. 'Amy theme', a light-hearted church-choir stylized number has soulful humming of Suzanne D' Mello. Ranjit Barot makes another impressive dent in his arranging as well as composing in mixing out varied soul-enchanting chorals in tender flows of piano drills that leaves out mesmerizing impact.
'Enter (music)' is electronically tuned instrumental work, exuding out the intimidating spells of eventful happenings in its brief duration.
'Retro Pop Shit (music)', a tangibly rock-music instrumental works on contemporary rock arrangements that are loud in percussions with blend of racy guitar riffs and strumming. Anupam Roy's composing is upbeat in electronically tuneful flows and tries to exude feel of intrigue and suspense.
'Unleashed (music)', a 'death-rock' stylized uproarious musical-piece evokes horrendous presence of devil ('Shaitan') with ear-deafening male vocals banging high and loud, a relatively experimental work suited to the situational needs of the flick.
'Outro', the last offering of the album comes in sporadically 80's rock-mode, an instrumental that is too high on noisy sounds and rhythms.
Over all a colorful album which may not disappoint.
