EK-THE POWER OF ONE

Composer Pritam Chakarborty seems to be losing his megical touch if one were to go by the Album of ' Ek-The Power of One'' Bang Bang " crooned by Rana Muzumdar starts well with a heavy doze of electronic sounds. The song sets the mood and keeps it intact till the end. Powerful signing and strong musical arrangements make the track a good hear. Like most Pritam Chakarborty, ' Sambhale' is soked in Punjabi flavour. Sung by Sukhwinder Singh and Sunidhi Chauhan, the song has a long prelude but picks up well. However, the number fails to reach the standards set by Pritam. ' Sona Lagda' with Shashwati's honey-tucked voice instantly gives a heard-before feeling. Lack of exprimentation makes the song very ordinary. Up next in the remix version of ' Sona Lagda ' that adds nothing to the quality of the original and falls flat in its attempt to become a chartbuster.
The last song of the Album ' Tum Saath Ho', has a distinct resemblance to Pritam earlier composition " Tu Hi Meri Shab Hai ". But once again there is nothing fresh that the song has to offer. on the whole the five- song soundtrack of "Ek-The Power of One", fails to impres. The tied and tested formula of using particular genres in the soundtrack doesn't work too well for his album.
