After composing foot tapping chartbusters for Abbas-Mustan's 'Race', Pritam has composed music for the director duo's maiden production venture 'Life Partner'.
But the soundtrack is not as impressive as his previous work such as 'Jab We Met', 'Life...In A Metro', 'Dhoom 2' and 'Gangster'. After hearing the songs, it is evident that he hasn't gone that extra mile for the album.
The album contains five original songs and two remixes.
It opens with 'Kuke kuke' sung by Shaan and Antara Mitra. The fast-paced number starts with Antara singing completely off tune, something that seems to be the requirement of the song according to the lyrics. But the lyrics fail to hold the interest of the listener.
The song also contains a remix version which is better than the original as far as the music is concerned -- it is high on beats.
Up next is 'Teri meri ye zindagi', which is better.
