Jhoom
Barabar
Jhoom
might
not
have
got
rave
reviews
but
music
director
trio
Shankar
Ehsaan
and
Loy
are
pretty
satisfied
with
the
music
they
composed
for
the
film.
And
understandably
-
so
since
the
music
does
somehow
manage
to
spice
up
many
dull
moments
in
the
film.
Q.
The
theme
and
mood
of
the
music
of
JBJ
is
quite
different A-Yes,
the
album
has
a
strong
Sufi
/Punjabi
sound
blended
in
with
a
lot
of
rock
and
ethnic
influences.
Q-
Comment
on
the
tracks.
If
you
were
to
review
your
album
yourself,
what
would
you
say? A-All
three
Jhoom
tracks
rock.
I
like
the
idea
of
using
a
similar
refrain
in
all
the
three,
yet
all
songs
sound
different.
'Kiss
of
love'
is
for
the
dance
floor
and
Vishal
has
sung
the
song
with
a
lot
of
energy.
'Halke
Halke'
is
melodically
rich
and
has
a
strong
Indian
melody
based
on
the
'Bhim
Palssi'
scale.
Rahat
Fateh
adds
a
Sufi
touch
with
his
voice
and
Mahalakshmi
delivers
the
song
in
her
silky
and
very
melodic
voice.
'Ticket
to
Hollywood'
is
like
a
song
composed
for
a
musical
(like
a
play),
it
is
situation
based
and
has
a
funky
hip
hop
Punjabi
feel
to
it
with
a
very
different
funky
sounding
groove.
Niraj
's
voice
gives
it
that
different
texture
that
the
song
requires.
'Jhoom
Jam'
is
the
three
of
us
(Shankar
Ehsaan
Loy)
partying
in
the
studio
on
the
last
day
of
recording!
Q-Tell
us
something
about
the
experience
of
composing
for
Yash
Raj...
Some
feel
that
with
this
album,
you
defy
the
Chopra
clan
conventions... A-Yash
Raj
Films
is
undoubtedly
a
wonderful
production
company
to
work
for
and
Yash
Raj
studios
are
an
extremely
creative
environment
to
work
in.
Aditya
Chopra
has
this
amazing
ability
to
zero
in
on
the
kind
of
song
that
would
be
popular.
He
and
Shaad
Ali
really
pushed
us
as
they
did
during
'Bunty
aur
Babli' to
create
the
music
of
'Jhoom'.
Well
I
don't
think
there
is
anything
called
a
Chopra
clan
convention.
If
a
particular
kind
of
music
works
with
the
film
they
will
go
with
it.
Q.
Also
there
is
a
little
bit
of
trance
music,
some
hip-hop
and
in
places
totally
Indian
notes.
How
did
you
decide
on
what
sounds
to
include
in
what
tracks? A-We
experiment
a
lot
in
the
studio
and
bring
our
influences
to
the
music.
We
have
varied
influences
and
we
listen
to
many
different
kinds
of
music,
hence
we
experiment
a
lot.
Q.
How
was
it
working
with
Shaad
Ali
after
Bunty
aur
Babli? A-Shaad
is
a
friend
and
we
have
a
lot
of
fun
working
together
and
the
experience
is
up
lifting.
Q-
And
your
upcoming
projects? A-Hey
Baby,
Taaren
Zameen
Par,
a
new
film
with
Kunal
Kohli,
Johnny
Gadar,
Short
Cut,
Amol
Palekar's
Dum
Kutta
and
a
new
film
with
Nikhil
Advani.
