‘Maria Maria’- It begins with a Latina-Salsa and Goan flavour. The song is sung by Sonu Nigam and Sunidhi Chauhan. It has a festive celebratory feel to it with average paced beats. It later moves to a 90’s kind of style and rendition in the song. Violins are heard in the musical arrangements and the song is strictly okay but nothing to rave about.
Score: 6/10
‘Soni De Nakhre’- The title itself makes it known that the song has a dominant Punjabi flavour. It has been sung by Laab Jaanjuwa and Sneha Pant. There are some very weird words and sounds used in this song, but in keeping with the light comedy mood again one just goes with the flow and goes along with it all. Punjabi words along with Punjabi kind of rap is added to give it a modern feel. It’s a typical masala time-pass, fun number.
Partner is an album which has many mass appealing numbers. The songs are breezy, light, funky, fun, modern and groovy. Even the lyrics though at times may seem a bit silly; it turns out to be endearing and funny. The music seems apt for a comedy film and is kept light and has the right amount of masala which makes it a good time-pass commercial album.
