Background of the Song
Bhool Jaaun is one of 2 promotional songs for DamaDamm!. It is a never seen before, first time collaboration between 2 highly talented Music Directors Himeshji & Sachin Gupta.
Sachin Gupta rose to fame with the smash hit songs of the movie ‘Prince’. He is also the creator of the popular song Doorie sung by Atif Aslam. Bhool Jaaun is his first time of working with Himeshji after being signed by Himeshji’s company HR Musik Ltd.
A heavily guitar driven track, the lyrics of Bhool Jaaun have also been written by Sachin and the video (which was released at Diwali last year) features Sachin & Himeshji together. The guitar is Sachin’s main instrument. The song has been appreciated by all and has been Number 1 on Deepa Rai’s Official People’s Network Chart Show on Sunrise Radio in the UK. The song is still currently in the Top 5 of the chart show!
I personally, am a big fan of this song & we look forward to future collaborations between Himeshji & Sachin :o)) I always smile when I hear Himeshji’s voice in the song… :o))
If you love Bhool Jaaun, please tell us your thoughts here!
We hope you have all enjoyed our Song of the Week feature! It will be back!
Dil Jo Kahe Wahi Karna Hain, Baandisha Mein Nahi Marna Hain Maine Socha Hain… Jeena Hain Har Mausam… I Need My Space! I Want My Freedom!
Hello Reshammiyans!
This has been our last week of voting for Song of the Week: DamaDamm! Thank you to all of you who voted over these past weeks! Our last voted Song of the Week is none other than the vivacious I Need My Space! We will still discuss Bhool Jaaun next week :o)
Background of the Song
A really peppy, rock based number, Himeshji has created I Need My Space, I Want My Freedom to explain the character Sameer’s difficulties that he faces in his relationship with Shikha.
One would expect Himeshji to sing in his original voice tone but he surprises all by singing in the middle octave – yet again proving his singing strength which many are beginning to realise.
The song talks about wanting to do what your heart tells you, breaking free from all boundaries and being able to be yourself for some time – a phase that many relationships go through.
The female vocals have been sung by Aditi Singh Sharma who also accompanied Himeshji on Madhushala & Mango.
The song has been wonderfully picturised with Sameer letting his hair down across Mumbai and realising his time for freedom has arrived!
No wonder it has made this week’s Song of the Week!
If you voted for the song, tell us why! Looking forward to all of your responses :o)

Jab Tum Jaati Ho…Jaldi Nahi Aati Ho…I Miss You Baby…Like Mango….Like Mango…
Hello Reshammiyans!
Thanks to all of you who voted for this week’s Song of the Week! It was a tough call again and Bhool Jaaun ft Sachin Gupta was leading the first part of the week only to be taken over by the ‘surprise’ song of DamaDamm!: Mango!
Background of the Song
It can be said that the song ‘Mango’, is a very spontaneous and impromptu number from Himeshji. Aditi Singh Sharma who accompanied Himeshji on ‘Madhushala’ also accompanies him on ‘Mango’ and we get to hear her sing in a totally different, very Western style. Again, something that has never been attempted before in Bollywood Music.
After seeing the song promo, it becomes clear to the viewer that Sameer sings the song to please his ‘nagging girlfriend’ Shikha who is constantly missing him and wishing she was there at the party.
Himeshji has used a completely different style of composing for this song and it features some very strong Western music elements and hence became this week’s Song of the Week
Yun Toh Mera Dil…Machalta Nahin…Asaani Se…Lekin Jabse Tujhko Dekha Dil Gaya Jaane Kya Tujhmein Baat Hain?
Hello Reshammiyans!
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and welcoming you to a Christmas Special of our popular feature Song of the Week! I hope that many of you had the chance to watch DamaDamm! last Sunday as it premiered worldwide on Colors! I most certainly enjoyed the film, hope you all did too!
After a tight competition this week between Bhool Jaaun ft. Sachin Gupta (23 votes) & Yun Toh Mera Dil, Yun Toh Mera Dil took the lead with 33 votes and earned it’s place at being this weeks Song of the Week!
Background of the Song
Yun Toh Mera Dil is a very light, happy number and Himeshji has yet again tried to infuse a different style of music in this song. The song reminds one of a musical style called ‘samba’. The song talks about Sameer’s feelings for Sanjana and how he realises he is beginning to like her: ‘lekin jabse tujhko dekha, dil gaya jaane kya tujhmein baat hain?’ – Himeshji has used a lot of ‘happy expressions in the song too to emphasise this very point. After a long hiatus, Sadhana Sargamji who gave us many hit songs during the 1990′s accompanies Himeshji on the vocals for this song ‘shararat tumhari aankhon mein bhari hain…lekin ye aada bhi, achchi lag rahi hain…’
This happy melodious number truly deserves to be Song of the Week!
We hope you all will enjoy this week’s Song of the Week! Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas from the site team: Jem & Sunny :o)
Hum Tum…Train Ki Do Patriyon Ki Tarah…Chalte Rahe Saath Saath, Milne Ki Tamano Mein…Dil Jaanta Nahi Milenge…Par Ik Umeed Hain…Jo Tooti Nahin…Meri Jaan…
Hello Reshammiyans!
Many thanks to all of you who voted for this week’s Song of the Week! The voting was very close this week and at one point I thought there would be a tie between Yun Toh Mera Dil & Hum Tum! But Hum Tum took the lead and has become this week’s Song of the Week!
Background of the Song
A slow, soulful number…Hum Tum reminds the listener of Himeshji’s music (e.g. Jaaneman)from Radio – Love on Air. SRGMP challenge 2009 winner Vaishali Made from Himeshji’s Rock Gharana accompanies Himeshji on the vocals throughout the song.
The lyrics of the song are penned by Sameerji. The song talks about the journey of a relationship that has still not come together but is living in hope: ‘Par Ik Umeed Hain…Jo Tooti Nahin…’ The song’s simplicity in terms of music, vocals are what make it stand out.
Himeshji’s soothing vocals truly make it a delight to listen to! No wonder it has been voted for as this week’s song of the week!
If you voted for Hum Tum, tell us why you love the song so much! Looking forward to reading all your thoughts as always!
Tere Jism Ki Khushboo Mein…Aankhon Ki Madhushala Mein…Kabhi Aar Gaya Kabhi Par Gaya….It’s Ishq Unplugged…
Hello Reshammiyans!
Thank you all for voting for this week’s Song of the Week! Finally after being in the Top 3 for the last few weeks, Madhushala wins the race and is our 5th Song of the Week!
Background of the Song
A unique duet sung by Himeshji & Aditi Singh Sharma (a member of the band Groove Adda & ‘Choomantar’ & Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge fame) the song Madhushala is a mix of 1950′s retro and today’s modern Bollywood.
The song opens and closes with English lyrics sung by Aditi: A love that is pure, a love that makes you sore…it’s Ishq Unplugged… what follows after is a blend of retro and bollywood rock that creates a wonderful fusion and keeps the listener in awe as they begin to understand the plight of protagonist Sameer’s difficulties as he flits between Shika & Sanjana.
Himeshji has sung in different tones for this song – a master of creating such fusion tracks – the listener is in amazement as he/she notices the effortless changes in Himeshji’s voice from ‘Tere Jism Ki Khushboo Mein…’ to ‘Prem Ki Iss Gaheri Nadiya Mein…’ he has proved yet again his versatility as a singer.
Aditi surprises all with not only singing in English but also the old-fashioned 50′s style ‘dag mag dag mag, mein hui sunke teri baat naseeli…’ It is a first for any female bollywood playback singer to sing in 2 distinct styles for 1 song.
The song has been picturised on Himeshji, Purbi Joshi & Sonal Sehgal and it’s clear popularity has made it this week’s Song of the Week!
