When it comes to music in Kannywood
(Hausa Film Industry), no doubt, FKD Productions has no second contender in the
field of catching mind with its sort of vocals in entertaining songs.
FKD Production that is known of
producing quality soundtracks almost every time and that too of a musical
extravaganza like; Sai Wata Rana, Madubin Dubawa, Adamsy, Sirrin Da Ke Raina,
Halacci, Halwa and the last Gamu Nan Dai, that boasted to become super hit
materials and considered as the best soundtracks till date, develops humongous
expectations.
‘Mansoor’ comes with lots and lots of
expectations on the musical front with tracks; Abin Da Yake Raina, Zan Rayu Da
Ke, Makullin Zuciya, Macukule, Jirgin So Zai Tashi and Ya Mansoor Na are
already on the road to become a hit.
Nevertheless, Umar M. Shareef, Abdul
D. One, together with female singers Murja Baba, Maryam Fantimoti and Khairat
Abdullahi lend their voices on the love themes. Well, with talented composers who
are renowned for this genre (love and pain); let's check out if the soundtrack
lives up to the hype!
Abdul D One (composer and lyricist)
starts off the proceedings with a chart scorcher ‘Abin Da Yake Raina’, a
trademark territory of composing with minimum use of orchestra and the focus
being on mostly on the vocals with some apt lyrics. In the first minute, he
wins your heart with his painful voice and one can't resist putting the song on
repeat mode; his voice is soothing and emotional. Later Maryam Fantimoti joins
the train with ‘Ya Mansoor Na’ a more of a reprise, it’s soulful, extremely
touching and of course dripping with melody, you can almost feel it.
‘Macukule’ a typically not Umar M
Shareef voice, but he does a commendable job right from the first note. The
track although provides nothing much creative apart from some electric guitar
riffs in the interludes, the lyrics are good but still nothing what we call as
incredible. The climax where the chorus joins in gives a feel of live performance
and does well in portraying a man who feels the pain of being in love.
Nevertheless, the composition is worth-a-hear and will be a hit no doubt as the
promo’s claims it to be.
M Shareef dominates the soundtrack
from here onwards, ‘Zan Rayu Da Ke’ which is a sweet love song with simple
lyrics by him. He indeed, once again shines with his romantic vocals. He set
almost all the Kannywood stars ablaze; by forcing them to be mimicking it in no-time-condition.
The composition is light, breezy, hummable and easy on ears. The next track
does well to keep the listeners hooked for the whole minutes, the arrangements
are kept soft with light drums and some beautiful, soothing piano is heard in
the second interlude. The lyrics though short, still manage to carry out the
emotions perfectly making the song a good hear. Don’t miss it!
‘Jirgin So Zaya Tashi’ starts off
with harmonica renditions where Shareef and Murja Baba cravingly sang it. The
combination brings in a lot of expectations which sounds stereotyped and offers
many enthralling, the lyrics has arrangements and is impressive as well.
‘Makullin Zuciyata’ is a kind of song that one
gets addicted to in the very first sound. The electrifying arrangements (mostly
rock) are dominated by guitar strums and some carefree, spirited singing by
Shareef. He strikes the right chord with his pen this time and delivers what is
expected out of such a talented singer.
Having said that, no argue that this album
will pick up more interest and become one of the best popular and super hit in
the history of Hausa Cinema.
The songs if promoted well would be a
chartbuster in no time; hummable songs are the ones, fans can't get out of their
head. Absorbing!
