WHAT WILL YOU GROOVE TO THIS PARTY SEASON?
BT got the Bollywood music industry insiders to talk about the grooviest party tracks
With 2018 wrapping up and the party season well on its way, the playlist is what tops the priority list for music lovers. The year gone by has seen some fab compositions, quirky beats and tracks that have had the power to pull you to the dance floor. If you are wondering what to groove to this party season — this is the grooviest list in town. Bollywood music industry insiders reveal their favourite party numbers from 2018 and give the lowdown on all that’s great about these chartbusters.
CATCHY AND MELODIOUS
Singer Harshdeep Kaur, known for her work in Raazi, Manmarziyaan and Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi is all for Tareefan from Veere Di Wedding. And she is bang on. This track refused to budge from the Mirchi Top 20 Charts for over 22 weeks this year. She says, “It’s catchy and melodious at the same time. The music producer did a brilliant job and the treatment given to the sound was so fresh. Badshah brought his own swag to it. Apart from the music, the video of the song too was eye-catchy and classy.” Composer Amaal Mallik agree with Harshdeep and adds, “Kudos to Badshah and Qaran Mehta for Tareefan and Zack Knight, Jasmine Walia for Bom Diggy (which was also used in the film, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety). The music production is so new-age in both these songs. It’s an amazing blend of reggaeton and tropical pop elements. Both tracks have fantastic word play, a really catchy composition fused with Punjabi lyrics.”
QUIRKY VIBES ARE A PARTY STARTER
Who says that only EDM can make it to the top of party song lists? 2018 has had its share of quirky, funky tracks too. Singer Kavita Seth shares, “The song DhyaanChand from Manmarziyaan is a great party track. I like the blend of foot-tapping music and melody that Amit Trivedi has managed to infuse into this track, which also has a raw Indian vibe to it. I was able to connect to the sounds of this quirky number.”
GOOD DANCE MUSIC NEEDS A GREAT DROP
A variety of factors contribute to making a song top the party list. For composer Amaal, a song is branded as the ‘best party song’ based on how frequently they are played. He says, “For me a good song is one that is hummable, has lyrics that have meaning, along with some good phonetics. In today’s time, the most important bit in dance music is the drop. That is a melodic, non-lyrical section with catchy beats and just a musical riff and a good bass line. And in both Tareefan and Bom Diggy, the drop is melodious and has a jump too.” Singer Neeti Mohan seconds that and says, “Bom Diggy Diggy is among the best party songs this year and it has a cool composition. The drop is what makes it sound so cool.”
GROOVY YET NOT IN THE FACE
For the king of remixes, Tanishk Bagchi, the arrangement and the treatment play an important part in making the perfect party track. He says, “From the vibe and arrangement, to the treatment, Tareefan is a super cool track. It is different and the tune sets in so smooth. It’s a groovy number, but its not in your face. It definitely makes it to my list of top three dance numbers of 2018. The other songs are Dilbar from Satyameva Jayate and Aankh Marey from Simmba.”
ORIGINALS ALWAYS WORK
For singer Aditi Singh Sharma, Zack Knight’s Bom Diggy is a certified masterstroke. She says, “It’s so good to hear an original composition become such a big hit. It has been a hit in both its reiterations — in the film Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety as well as Zack’s independent single, too. The first time I heard this song I almost ended up memorising the lyrics at the first go. The kind of musical nuances that Zack has integrated into the song are really cool.”
DHOL GROOVES AND FOLK TUNES ARE IN
Composer Nakash Aziz swears by Yo Yo Honey Singh’s Dil Chori Sada Ho Gaya from Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety. He says, “This is a simple song with great dhol grooves, two chords and a folk tune. I just love the way the bass kicks in after the hook of the song. It’s got a very groovy feel. Honey Singh is a fantastic artiste.” Chogada from LoveYatri is another track that people want to dance to this party season. Singer Praakriti Kakar says, “Firstly, Chogada is an original composition and for an original dance number to become a rage and top the charts, has to be special. Darshan Rawal’s voice suits the song perfectly and the composers DJ Chetas and Lijo have nailed it with the fabulous blend of commercial and folk sounds. The fact that it has Hindi lyrics along with Gujarati, makes it massy.”
BEAT-HEAVY TRACKS WILL ALWAYS REMAIN POPULAR
When it comes to pure dance tracks, nothing beats Bollywood songs like Zingaat (Dhadak), Kamariya (Stree and Mitron), Khali Bali (Padmaavat), Dilbar (Satyameva Jayate) and Proper Patola (Namaste England). Mumbai’s disc and radio jockeys feel that the language and lyrics do not hold too much importance when it comes to beat-heavy tracks — especially when people are looking at dancing the night away.
