Music Review: Race 2

Popular music director Pritam is back yet again with the soundtrack of Race 2, the sequel to the 2008 suspense-filled blockbuster, Race. This time, the album contains 4 original tracks, along with 2 remixes.

Let's begin with "Allah Duhayi Hai", which directly follows the lines from the prequel's "Race Saanson Ki". The track is sung by Atif Aslam, Vishal Dadlani, and Anushka Manchanda, and has a techno and rock beat to it, which doesn't fail in getting your attention with its upbeat music!

Then there is "Party on My Mind" by KK, Yo Yo Honey Singh, and Shefali Alvarez. Right from its very first beat, it gets you dancing to the techno tunes. The lyrics are catchy enough and the rap portion by Honey Singh serves to act as a differentiating feature. It does have a familiar sound to it that reminds you of other similarly club songs, but that should not stop you from giving this hopping song a listen or two! 

Up next, Atif Aslam and Sunidhi Chauhan's "Be Intehaan" is the standard romantic number of the album, which instantly takes you back to the "Pehli Nazar Mein" times, not letting you miss the similarity in passion between the two! While the song is no where close to the magic created by "Pehli Nazar", you should definitely give it a listen, especially if you like Atif's crooning style.

The last but not least track of the album is "Lat Lag Gayi" by Benny Dayal and Shalmali Kholgade, which is yet another dance track. Although we'd say not the best in the album, it's full of upbeat music that might keep you swinging all night on the dance floor. Don't miss out on this!

Rating: 3/5

Despite not a large number or variety of songs in the album, each song is definitely worth a listen once or a few times to get the feel of it, if not get hooked to it. The two dance tracks have already gained much popularity in the club sphere! Tune into these tracks, and till then we shall work into another review only for you!
