The first half of 2009 was dull, except for a couple of albums. Things however changed with New York, and since then there were quite a few good albums lasting till the end of the year.
Pritam fared very well with 3 superhit albums in New York, Love Aaj Kal and Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani and a few other decent albums.
Salim-Sulaiman did very well with all 5 albums of theirs (8 x 10 Tasveer, Luck, Kurbaan, Rocket Singh and Pyaar Impossible) doing well.
Anu Malik made comeback of sorts with Kambakkht Ishq.
Vishal-Shekhar's only wish wasn't granted by Aladin's genie.
Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy mostly disappointed, right from the beginning of the year. They did Wake Up well with Sid, but then they made a nightmare of a certain London Dreams. Aasma from 13B was one good number they came up with this year.
A R Rahman had only 2 albums this year, but scored brilliantly in both.
Here I've listed my top 10 albums of the year along with the songs I've liked.
1. Kaminey : Everything. Extraordinary stuff from Vishal Bharadwaj.
2. Blue : Aaj dil gustakh hai, Fiqrana and Rehnuma.
3. Delhi 6 : Masakali, Genda Phool, Bhor Bhaye, Arziyan.
4. Love Aaj Kal : Aahun aahun, Dooriyan, Aaj din chadheya and Thoda thoda pyaar.
5. 3 Idiots : All songs. Shantanu Moitra shows his class.
6. New york : Hai junoon, Tune jo na kaha, Mere sang.
7. Kurbaan : Rasiya, Shukran Allah, Kurbaan hua
8. Dev D : For Amit Trivedi's sheer audacity to come up with 18 tracks and for Emotional attyachar( both versions).
9. Wake Up Sid : Kya Karoon, Wake up Sid, Iktara
10. Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani : Tu jaane na, Prem ki naiyya, Main tera dhadkan teri
THE song(s) of 2009 : Emotional attyachar, Aaj dil gustakh hai, Masakali, Dhan te nan.
Oh, and by the way, forget Tamil albums.
The more hindi albums I listen to , the more I decide to stop listening to tamil albums. How tragic most tamil songs sound when compared in quality to their hindi counterparts! I regret having reviewed Villu, Aegan and the kind.
