The new faces of Bollywood

  The last few years has seen tremendous talent emerge from the Hindi music industry. One of my personal favourites are music director duo of Vishal and Shekhar. Name ring a bell? If not, then perhaps going through the names of their tracks might jog your memory. Do you remember Tu Hai Aasma from Jhankaar Beats? Or Dus bahane from Dus? Or maybe the title track from BluffMaster? Or the blockbuster hit, Salaam Namaste???

  These talented guys has given many soundtracks a very hip, urban feel. And you shouldn't be surprised. Vishal has been associated with heavy metal band Pentagram for a long time now as their lead vocal singer. And his western influence is very evident in all their tracks. Shekhar on the other hand has a classical Indian background. Put them two together and a smokin' hot sound is created.

  While I've always associated them with a cool sound that's young and mixing different styles, I found out they were responsible for the Kailesh Kher chartbuster, Allah ke bandhe (listen to it by checking the link below.)

  In their relatively short career, they've produced a sound that is very global and still within the framework of hindi film music. Hats off to these guys... in the meantime LISTEN UP to the cool boys from Bollywood, Vishal and Shekhar!
