There were numerous albums released in 2009, 118 to be precise. Cant really compare music of 2009 with 2008 as I feel music is something that you are bound to love, its hard that a year passes by and you dont add numerous number of songs in your all time favourites list.
Here's my Top10 Albums of 2009 in brief :
Rahman at his best ..
My Favs : Rehna Tu, Dil Gira Dafatan and Masakalli
Special Mention : I love the rap done in the Hey Kaala Bandar Song. ;)
2. DEV D
Amit Trivedi is a new sensation in the Music Composers arena today with Aamir first and now Dev D.
My Favs : Pardesi, Duniya, Ek Hulchul si and Emosanal Rock version..
Special Mention : The background tune that comes in Ek hulchul si after 1st antara is very haunting. Also, the scream or anger(whtever u call it) by Anurag Kashyap in Emosanal rock version track.
3. LONDON DREAMS
Shankar Ehsaan Loy with another gem of a album.
My Favs : Barso Yaaron and Jashn hai Jeet Ka.
Special Mention : Barso Yaaron literally makes you dance with the song such is its impact along with the Hanuman Chalisa. While the lines "Maine dhakel ke andhere cheen ke le li roshni, mere hisse ke the savere, mere hisse ki roshni" from Jashn hai jeet ka are outstanding.
4. RAAZ - THE MYSTERY CONTINUES
Lots of Composers like Toshi-Sharib, Raju Singh and Pranay Rijia giving a very good overall album.
My Favs : Maahi and Kaisa yeh raaz hai
Special Mention : Soniyo is one of most romantic tracks sung by Sonu Nigam, while the starting tune of Kaisa yeh raaz hai is somewhat scary.
5. JASHNN
Probably first solo album by Toshi-Sharib I guess, and such a great final product.
My Favs : Main Chala and Nazrein Karam
Special Mention : Nouman Javaid's main chala and dard e tanhaayi are extremely emotional tracks(credit to all 3 - compositions, nouman and lyrics).
6. TUM MILE
Among Pritam's best compositions ever without a Single Doubt.
My Favs : Dil Ibadat, Tu hi haqeeqat and O meri jaan.
Special Mention : Lyrics of all songs especially dil ibadat and o meri jaan. While the extreme romantic feel in the tunes of tu hi haqeeqat.
7. KAMINEY
Vishal Bharadwaj, name that I didnt really think of as that special until Kaminey came.
My Favs : Dhan te nan and Kaminey
Special Mention : The use of Punjabi lines before 2nd antara of Dhan te nan increases the madness of the song(yet to understand those lyrics).
The magic of Jab We Met duo working again as Imtiaz - Pritam pair delivers again.
My Favs : Aahun aahun and Yeh dooriyan.
Special Mention : The Twist tune and Main kya hoon composition.
9. GULAAL
Impact of Powerful lyrics with good compositions describes Gulaal perfectly, Piyush Mishra the man behind them.
My Favs : Yeh duniya agar mil bhi jaaye, Aarambh hai
Special Mention : Lyrics of all songs, the references made in Rana ji song.
10. LUCK BY CHANCE
Shankar Ehsaan Loy delivering another great album. The main reason I loved the album a lot is the connectivity factor that is present in each and every song(leaving baawre).
My Favs : Sapno se bhare naina and Yeh Zindagi bhi
Special Mention : The 3 mins scene before sapno se bhare naina upto the end of the song are worth remembering the lifetime. The song that was filmed in the best possible way.
Other Albums that Just missed my Top10 :
Rann, Whats your Rashee, Radio, New York, Pyar Impossible, Paa, 3Idiots, Aao Wish Karen and Blue.
Most Under Rated Albums :
Aao Wish Karen : It has such awesome Xulfi tracks and also Kunal's sabse peeche hum khade.
New York : Badly affected by the large number of music albums released at same time. Loved tune jo na kaha and Ae saaye mere.
Jashnn : It wasnt popular at all, thanks to non famous starcast.
London Dreams : Wonder why people didnt like it, it was a complete album from S-E-L.
Most Over Rated Album :
Ajab Prem ki Gajab Kahani : Damn over rated, except for 2 songs(tu jaane na and tera hone laga hun), rest songs werent that special at all.
Dev D and Delhi6 are simply awesome albums of 2009(every music freak must agree to it).
Looking forward to 2010 Music ;)
