Music review analysis of Himesh Reshammiya's album Aksar (2006).
Jhalak Dikhlaja
This is a vintage killer Himesh Reshammiya Sufi Rwak number which is sung in the middle octave except for a few higher pitched notes.
The underlying rhythmic beats are similar to AASHIQ BANAYA AAPNE TITLE TRAX, AAKHIYON SE GAL KAR GAYI from SHAADI SE PEHLE and BADI DILCHASPI HAI from 36 CHINA TOWN in terms of underlying 1 bit SHARP beats that belong to da same Waltz instrumental set. These underlying rhythmic Waltz beats have an OFF-DA-HOOK sharp hit pattern (with awesome instrumental quality!) which is just rwakin, this sharp beat makes its presence in da music video as well.
Usually the shehnayi is used to mark a sad occassion, but Himesh uses the Shehnayi theme piece in a CULT wicked way from 0.03 to 0.26 for a great build up is great followed by the full rhythmic beat that kicks in from 0.21 onwards.
The underlying fluctuating bazz sound from 0.26 onwards is of great cause.
Himesh croons his prolonged well structured vocal theme piece UUUUUUUU that gave him immense fame in ABA.
The fast paced tabla beats from 0.47 to 1.04 are great.
At 1.13, the song becomes semi-plugged with only the 1 bit beat skips which is da BUILD UP PART while himesh croons ek baar aaja aaja AAJA (terrific at 1.14) aaja aaja, after which the fast paced KICKASS beats just HIT IT and deliver da KILL EFFECT from 1.16 to 1.17 that remind of the kickass beats from 0.56 to 0.57 in ISHQ KIYA KIYA from ANTHONY KAUN HAI.
The music arrangement in terms of its overall intended purpose i.e. BUILD UP (semi-plugged beats) followed by KILL EFFECT (fast drum-roll beats) from 1.13 to 1.17 was similarly used in ISHQ KIYA KIYA from ANTHONY KAUN HAI from 0.49 to 0.56
Himesh's lines from 1.30 to 1.54 are sung in the middle to lower octave.
From 1.56 to 2.17, the additional beats are effective.
Himesh's line, jhalak dikhlajAAAAA (terrific profound low twist) from 2.01 to 2.02
Between mukhda & 1st stanza, Himesh is back with his off-da-hook well structured catchy SOULFUL KILLER croon UUUUU from 2.19 to 2.26 whereby he pours his heart out, and his gradual voice deepening from 2.25 to 2.26 gives JAZBA, followed by an effective violin piece. Fast paced kickass beats just hit it from 2.34 to 2.35
1st stanza
Himesh sings in middle octave on a simple well strutcured tune pattern, especially the lines BAATEIN, MULAKATEIN, PAANA, PAGALPAN HAI, DHADKAN HAI which have middle octave emphasis.
The intermittent combo of fast paced tabla beats and been (snake) piece from 2.44 to 2.48 & 2.57 to 3.01 is of good cause.
Fast paced kickass beats just hit it from 3.17 to 3.18
Between 1st & 2nd stanza, his prolonged powerful vocal alaap TUR TUR TU TUR from 3.19 to 3.35 (catchy from 3.33 to 3.35), TUOOOON (prolonged nazal deepening effect) from 3.35 to 3.36 will bring a smile on da listeners face out of its OFF-DA-HOOK cheekiness but it is damn catchy. Fast paced kickass beats just hit it at 3.44
2nd stanza
Himesh's lines, ZARE ZARE SE ME TERI AAHAT SUNTA HU (catchy middle octave impact vocals) from 3.45 to 3.48 get da listeners into da zone whereby they feel it big time.
Himesh sings in middle octave on a simple well strutcured tune pattern, especially the lines GHERAYI, PECHANE & JAANE which have middle octave emphasis.
The intermittent combo of fast paced tabla beats and been (snake) piece from 3.53 to 3.57 & 4.06 to 4.10 is of good cause.
From 4.19 to 4.21, the song becomes semi-plugged with only the 1 bit beat skips and himesh fully expresses himself with the 3rd AAJA at 4.20 (HIGH NOTE DESPERATION PLEA EMPHASIS) is HISTORY & BEST PART. The resonating power of the high pitch frequency in 3rd AAJA from 4.20 to 4.21 is very well capable to establish a connection link with the dead and force them to AAJA from their graves and scare passing by villagers, to which they will cautiously react by murmuring to the nearby lurking spirit ZARE ZARE SE ME TERI AAHAT SUNTA HU [fun intended].
This high pitch is very well capable to establish a connection link with aliens and force them to AAJA [fun intended].
After this BUILD UP part, himesh delivers the KILL effect in form of fast paced kickass beats that just HIT IT from 4.21 to 4.23
Highlights of this song:
1. Himesh's vintage vocals (forceful emphasis in mukhda & middle octave impact in stanzas).
2. The intermittent bazz sound, fast paced tabla and wicked shehnayi piece.
3. The underlying beats and the KICKASS fast paced drum-roll beats.
4. The build up when song becomes unplugged and HR croons ek baar aaja aaja (3rd AAJA, HISTORY) and the kickass beats hit it again is the best part of this song.

Loot Jayenge
The beat pattern along with raw drum beats remind of underlying beats of DIL LAGAYENGE from SHAKA LAKA BOOM BOOM.
The peppy beats have a groovy retro feel to them.
Kunal sings with feel good vocals.
The female croons in between and behind his vocals enhance the groovy nature.
His lines GE-EE(feel good) at 1.31, 1.33, 1.38, 1.40, 2.22, 2.24, 2.29 and 2.31.
But it is Jayesh's trademark high-pitch croons that do the trick from 1.43 to 1.58, 2.34 to with emphasis on lines KA-RE-AA (twist with echo effect) from 1.52 to 1.54, RE-AA(down)-AA(down)-AA(down) from 1.57 to 1.58, and from 2.34 to 2.41 with emphasis on twists in KARE
The tune sur from 1.48 to 1.49 gives awesome overall groovy retro effect when heard in context of the full line.
The raw drum beat pattern in between the mukhda lines also gives great intermittent effect.
Between mukhda and 1st stanza, a groovy tune piece plays
1st stanza
Kunal sings with feel good vocals along with Jayesh's added vocals and drum beat effect.
But once again, it is jayesh's middle-to-low pitched vocals from 3.24 to 3.32 that steal the show as he breaks away from his usual high-pitched singing and shows his versatility. This variation strikes a chord!
Jayesh's croons from 4.04 to 4.05, 5.41 to 5.42 are impactful as he fully expresses himself.
The theme piece of Aksar plays from 4.05 to 4.18
2nd stanza
Kunal sings with feel good vocals along with Jayesh's added vocals and drum beat effect.
The mix of Jayesh's low pitch at 5.27, 5.31, 5.34, 5.38 with his usual high-pitch croons is awesome.
The theme piece of Aksar plays from 5.42 to finish, and the drum beats give sahi desired effect.
Highlights of this song:
1. Kunal's feel good vocals and Jayesh's high-pitched and low-pitched croons.
2. The seductive groovy vocals and theme piece, peppy beats with groovy retro feel to them and raw drum beats for effect purposes.
3. This song is mostly sung by Kunal but it actually totally belongs to Jayesh Gandhi.
Without his catchy repetitive hook, this song would lose both its zing and identity.
Pre-ABA, every album had atleast 1 item number so such songs are not a surprise from HR considering his rich legacy of earlier such works.
Jhalak - Unplugged
The key in this song in terms of music arrangement is the sharp 1 beat hit pattern, the fast tabla beats pattern and the bazz trumpet (notably the regular 3 key hits) behind and alongside Himesh's vocals.
Theme Of Aksar
The theme piece starts with a likeable piano piece in unplugged mode until 0.38
From 0.39 to 1.02, female groovy haunt vocals plays along with intermittent cute tune and loud seductive whispers.
The laidback proceedings are brought to a halt when the theme suddenly changes tempo from 1.03 to 2.16, when the full beats with an underlying retro sound kick in along with intermittent drum/dhol beats, followed by piano piece and male haunt vocals. The harmonica piece plays from 1.47 to 2.01 and the trumpet piece plays from 2.01 to 2.15
From 2.18 to end, the female groovy haunt vocals bring back the subtle laidback mode.
Lagi Lagi - Remix
BEST and most RWAKIN remix of the album. The underlying free flowing heavy beat gets da listener's foot tapping to its rhythmic groove
My Picks
From Himesh's "sung n composed" songs:
1. Jhalak Dikhlaja.
In terms of RWAK, this is Himesh's most KILLER Sufi-Rwak number. The starting shehnaayi piece from 0.04 to 0.26 is WICKED CULT. The underlying free-flowing beats have a sharp 1 bit Waltz hit pattern. Himesh's line, LA-JAAA (off-da-hook profound catchy twist) from 2.01 to 2.02, The rwakin semi plugged sharp waltz beat along with Himesh's lines AAJA AAJA AAJA from 1.13 to 1.15 & 4.19 to 4.21 is BUILD UP part, followed by full on mast kickass fast drum roll beats from 1.16 to 1.18 & 4.22 to 4.23 that give the KILL EFFECT and tremendous kick to the listener.

Himesh's core mukhda tag line, AAJA AAJA AAJA AAJA AAJA (catchy repetitive hook) used throughout the song, agar koi bhi kisi koh itni SHIDAT se pukaare ga, toh phir duniya ki koi bhi taqat un dono ko milne se nahi rok sakti aur jisko bhi pukaara hai, usko har haal me majhbooran wapas laut ke aana hi parega. Mukhda tag line is comprised of catchy repetitive hook AAJA * 5 whereby Himesh gives variation in singing it, and his BEST variation is given in the 3rd AAJA that gives MAX impact to this overall repetitive hook i.e. 3rd AAJA at 1.14 which is OFF-DA-HOOK singing, and 3rd AAJA at 4.21 which is FULLTU singing that gives the vocal kill effect. Himesh's well structured croon UUUUU in between 1st stanza gap from 2.19 to 2.26 is SOULFUL KILLER, and his gradual voice deepening from 2.25 to 2.26 gives JAZBA. Himesh's line, TUOOOON (off-da-hook prolonged nazal deepening effect) from 3.35 to 3.36 in between 2nd stanza gap. The BEST LYRIC is ZARE ZARE SE MEIN TERI AAHAT SUNTA HOON from 3.45 to 3.48 in 2nd stanza, which gets the listeners into da zone and makes them feel it big time.
2. Lagi Lagi.
It is a seductive feel song. OFF-DA-HOOK high-pitched male intense emphasis croons LAGI from 1.29 to 1.47 & 2.08 to 2.10 that accompany Himesh's vocals enhance the overall impact. Himesh's BEST LINE in 1st stanza is TERA TERA TERA (terrific profound middle octave impact) from 2.55 to 2.56 gets da listeners into da zone. OFF-DA-HOOK drum hit pattern from 3.54 to 3.56, Himesh's BEST line in 2nd stanza PEER (awesome intense emphasis singing) at 4.14,
It has one of the best singing of Himesh in his middle octave range, especially in the stanzas. He should compose n sing more songs in this middle range. Sunithi sings with wholehearted mystic croons. Jayesh Gandhi pours his heart with classical croons, especially in between 1st stanza gap. Mukhda is raag based, especially the line LAGI LAGI LAGI, PREM DHUN LAGI (awesome mukhda lyric) from 2.13 to 2.18, Himesh's line, LAGI LAGI LAGI-III (off-da-hook desperation plea emphasis twist) from 1.25 to 1.26 & 2.04 to 2.05, Himesh's line, TERA TERA TERA (terrific profound middle octave impact) from 2.55 to 2.56 gets da listener into da zone, PEER (awesome intense emphasis singing) at 4.14, KHAMOSH MEIN SAURAAM HAI (terrific singing) from 4.19 to 4.23, New age orchestration in between 1st stanza gap and majestic outer space heavenly orchestration in between 2nd stanza gap.

From Himesh's "composed only" songs:
1. Soniye.
Underlying beat is LAIDBACK RHYTHMIC with a fluctuating bazz sound. Off-da-hook repetitive COMPUTERIZED PHONE LINE TONE pattern is used throughout. The starting with constant ambient groovy tune, chime ringtone effect and KK's passionate croons is as if the sun is slowly rising at dawn and birds start to wake up and flock, as the dew is slowly clearing. BEST melody of song is KK's SUBTLE FEEL mukhda hook lines, TERE BINA MERI SUBHA NAHI CHALTI TERE BINA MERI SHAMM NAHI DHALTI TERE BINA MERI JAAN HAI PIGALTI along with TABLA HIT PATTERN that catches listener's classical pulse from 1.21 to 1.30, 2.30 to 2.37 (off-da-hook semi plugged) & 3.37 to 3.44 (Sunithi's part) that gives HALKE SE KICK and GETS DA LISTENER INTO DA ZONE.
