As far as music is concerned, I personally felt 2023 was a pretty solid year. The remake song trend was much less compared to previous years. I initially decided to select around 30 odd songs for this list. However I ended up with 50 songs. This list also consists of some beautiful songs which hardly anyone heard, owing to various reasons like the film's poor marketing and failure, etc. The aim of this post is to celebrate the best music of 2023, and to also make people aware of the unheard / underrated music of 2023.   ARTIST OF THE YEAR The usual stalwarts like Arijit Singh and Pritam took a backseat for me as one of the OG's re-emerged in 2023. I am talking about SONU NIGAM. This was his year. The sad part is he sang so many beautiful songs which went totally unnoticed. I have included many of them in this list too.  LINK TO THE SPOTIFY PLAYLIST - CLICK HERE   1.                ...

Amidst the sudden deluge of trashy and totally unnecessary remakes and recreations, there were some really good original songs this year. Though not extraordinary, this year was pretty good as far as the music is concerned. While the dependable composers like Pritam and Sachin – Jigar continued churning quality stuff, this year also saw some fresh talent. The best among these were Composer duo Sachet Tandon and Parampara Thakur (Sachet – Parampara) and composer Vishal Mishra who belted out some really excellent songs. Here is my list of my favorite 30 songs of 2019, in no particular order – 1. BEKHAYALI (KABIR SINGH) Music – Sachet Tandon and Parampara Thakur Lyrics – Irshad Kamil Singer – Sachet Tandon This was undoubtedly my favorite song this year with some brilliant singing by Sachet. The Arijit Singh version couldn’t match upto this one, to be honest. 2. LAILA (NOTEBOOK) Music – Vishal Mishra Lyrics – Abhendra Upadhyay, Vishal Mishra Singer – D...

DISCLAIMER – This is a list of my personal favorite 30 film songs and 20 non filmy songs. You won’t find a SINGLE song of Himesh Reshammiya and Sajid-Wajid in this list. And yes. Out of the 27 songs of Gangs of Wasseypur (the album of the year according to many), only 2 have made it to my list. If that’s okay, read on.    2012 has been one of bollywood’s best years in a long time. The Indian audience witnessed a big number of hit films ranging from the mindless 100 crore comedies to the small budget brilliant ones to the minimal budget films. 2012 has also been a fantastic year for music buffs. Some great albums were released, some fantastic new finds (composers and singers) and some superb stuff from few ever reliable composers. For me the singer of the year was Arijit Singh. Except for one song of his (kyun dooriyan from players), all his remaining songs are a part of my top 30. As far as the best composer is concerned, Pritam, Vishal Shekhar and Amit Trivedi ...
