Music Review: Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (Hindi)
Composer(s): Pritam Chakraborty
Listen to the songs online here: Saavn
Arijit Singh sings the melancholic title song in his trademark style, its central melody giving off a heard-before, Bhatt-camp vibe. Channa Mereya is more a subtle rework of Kabira, while Alizeh fares a lot better, partly owing to its beautiful choral flourishes and Ash King's competent singing. The EDM-laced Cutiepie is at best pedestrian, as is Bulleya, which, despite some nifty guitar touches, fails to tread beyond the standard sufi-rock template popularised by Junoon (Sayonee). The Breakup Song is the surprise highlight of the album, turning what should be a sad affair into an upbeat dance anthem. Pritam stamps his style all over Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. The results however are decidedly mixed.
