But, lo and behold! Amit Trivedi creates Monta Re. That was then and quite frankly, I could have never imagined someone in Bollywood doing a Baul inspired track. While it was hard to make sense of the words, you could feel her longing for the divine conveyed through a deep mystic sense. She was possessed and the audience spell-bound. My first experience with Baul Sangeet was during a Sufi concert, where Parvati Baul did a 30 minute gig. But just like billion other people you don't give a rat's thing about the parts of lyrics you don't get till you can swing to the tunes. Half the punjabi from the original folk song has been replaced by Hindi to make things more marketable. Not much to be said about the lyrics really. In essence, the overall simplicity of musical arrangement is the key to this catchy number. By the first interlude, things get more interesting as accordion sound blends into the track giving it's music a European neo-classical dimension.
The song kicks-off with familiar Em, D strums on acoustic guitar but soon gets complex with liberal use of dominant 7th and suspended chords to create that folk & blues character.
With Ambarsariya, Ram has done away with all the strawberry jam of electro sounds.
#Tum hi ho song scale singing movie
I bought the CD before the movie was launched and have kept it handy in my car, ever since. Overall, job well done! Ram Sampath's Delhi Belly soundtrack made me a convert.
One needs to credit her for almost perfect diction which enhances the impact of Punjabi phonetics of the song. It infuses an earthiness which pervades through the track. Sona's voice texture remains the USP for Ambarsariya too.
