7 Khoon Maaf Offers Songs To Everyone’s Taste

 When Vishal Bharadwaj scores music for his film, everyone is assured to listen something really exciting and melodious. He has done same thing with his upcoming movie 7 Khoon Maaf, whose album has nine songs to suit everyone’s taste.

Veteran lyricist Gulzar has written the songs, which have been crooned by the renowned singers like Usha Uthup, Suresh Wadkar, KK, Master Saleem, Vishal’s wife Rekha Bharadwaj, Clinton Cerejo, Francois Castellino, Suraj Jagan and the composer and director himself.

The album starts with the already hit track ‘Darling’ sung by unsual combo of Usha Uthup and Rekha Bharadwaj. The foot tapping tune of the song captivates listeners instantly with its mischievous lyrics.

It has the much required energy and Russian flavour.

Vishal Bharadwaj has sung the next song ‘Bekaran’, which is a nazm (Urdu poetry). This wonderful track will rediscover the forgotten romantic side in many listeners. Vishal heard it some time back and wanted to use it as a song in his film. It is a perfect song to impress your lady love. With minimum music, the number stresses on the vocals.

A rock inspired number comes next in the voice of KK and Clinton Cerejo. The ‘O mama’ track is a hard hitting number and it will mainly appeal to the youths. It also has a acoustic version keeping the raw factor intact. It somehow impresses more than the original one with its different appeal.

Master Saleem’s ‘Awaara’ starts with a simple sound but offers sudden ups and downs in the tempo. Suresh Wadkar sings a soft and slow paced love ballad ‘Tere Liye’, which is easily hummable. But, it is not as good as the other numbers.

Suraj Jagan comes with a complete rock number ‘Dil dil hai’ but it could not create much impact despite of the popular rock flavour. Rekha completes the package of the album with a devotional number ‘Yeshu’, which has an expansive chorus in the background.

The popular ‘Darling’ number has another version called ‘Doosri darling’, which has been crooned by Rekha, Usha, Francois Castellino and Clinton.

In brief, it is a magical album with all flavours of music.

absolutely incredible. I still don't even believe it's true, I'm not even going to believe it's really happening until - well, I'm going to DVR it, because I can't watch it, because I'll be on it."

"But until I see it back on DVR, I'm not even going to believe I was really on the show. This is epic, this is monumental, this is historic stuff," she stated further before adding "Well, all I can say is that it's going to be a 'Moment 4 Life'."

the episode... (But) nobody spoke to me about doing anything on the show."

She will go full throttle to promote the album with a "major TV event" and a "LGBT/Lifestyle campaign" are being prepared. In the meantime, she is busy with album photoshoot. Her manager Adam Leber tweeted, "Britney Spears did a photoshoot for her album package yesterday. Photos are nothing less than spectacular. We'll share some soon."

Another tidbit comes from Akerlund who spilled the beans on her forthcoming video. "I can tell you that Britney is wearing a couple of hats in this video - not literal hats, but she's playing roles in this video. That is what I can give you," he revealed. "In every role, she is dancing. She is going to be dancing throughout the whole video. Like I said: Dance is the focal point of this video."

"She's taking fashion risks. Things we've never seen her wear before she's wearing in this video, and I think it's just very sexy and it's a little bit playful," he added. "She's going to be doing something in this video that we've never seen her do. I'm not gonna tell you what that is but she's going to be sweating and she's going to be getting bruised and battered."
