I AM Music Review

Known for giving class music, Amit Trivedi shares the credits with composers Philip and Rajiv Bhalla to score a soundtrack for director Onir’s movie and the music spells good music.
The album is a nine-piece ensemble with six original tracks and three remixed versions.
It gets a flying start with the song ‘Baangur’, a sufi rock with vocals by Mame Khan and Kavita Seth. A union of modern and traditional, the composition offers a great track with Indianised crooning and modern orchestration. It is a right choice to begin an album.
The remixed version is usual.
Next in store is a soft rock ballad, ‘Issi baat pe’, which has almost a minute-long instrumental overture before the vocals starts. Proficiently sung by KK, the moderately paced song has an inspirational approach and is a decent to hear.
This one’s too got a remixed version.
Then comes a slow moving track called ‘Bhojal se’ that begins with a humming. KK’s voice is more than suitable for a song of this genre and sets the mood. It is emotional in character with minimal orchestration in the background, which gives it an edge. The song is touching and strikes a chord with the listener.
A remix is attached to ‘Bhajal se’ too.
Up next is ‘Aankhein’, a nice, pleasing, soft track with a romantic approach. An interesting composition, the song that has been crooned by Karthik.
‘Saye saye’ is a dark, edgy song with current aggression in the composition. Rekha bhardwaj adds a haunting touch to the track and she is aptly supported by Mohan. It is an impressive effort.
Lastly, there is ‘Wundoo Yeredoo’ by Rajiv Bhalla that sounds like a song from some other movie. The album takes a 360 degree turn with this psychedelic composition, which is like a club song. It may be the demand of the script, but the track is a total misfit in the album.
In general, the music of the movie is quite likeable and enjoyable. Most of the songs boast of meaningful lyrics.
