Have you heard the old melodious song Yekai nazar ma maya basyo hai luke chepe heri dina le, tyo akhale zeudai maryo hai otha toki hasedinale, for those of u who have and also for those of you who haven’t Rewind is out there to take you back to the some of the finest songs of yesteryears. Rewind is a collection of remixes. It has done an excellent job of fusing the old songs in the latest trend. Yekai nazar ma, the first song in the album needs no introduction and Dipesh Kishor Bhattarai’s voice has added freshness to this evergreen song.

Yekai nazar ma is a beautiful song with strong lyric and Dipesh Kishwor Bhattari’s voice has continued the trend. It is a song that reminds one of the by gone era of music where the vocal and lyric dominated the rest. The words of the songs are unforgettable they keep coming back to you ……….Phul ho ke june timi ka sagai rakhne, chate bhitra rakhne ho ya yakha bhitra rakhne.

The next one, ma pyar bache dinchu all time hit, is the jewel of the album. This song has been remixed with great care and the out come reflects the careful handling of the song. Inspite of all fusion and experiment the essence of the song remains and even while listening to the song the scene of Mmala Sinha dancing to the tune of ma pyar bache dinchu, ma har bache dinchu ko kinch mero dil ko jhankar bache din chu.

Shyam Nepali in bai road ko bato ma, has been treated so well that one can hardly find any difference beween the older version and the latest version. Deepak Bajracharya in yadai yadma is good his voice has complimented the song. Ma rup hun timi dhadkan, ma geet hu timi sargam by maushami gurung and laxman poudel is yet another good track. Om Bikram Bista’s ko ho tyo jasle malai mohane lagayo sounds even better than the older version.

The music of both the songs has been composed beautifully. Mira Rana’s makhamali chol is yet another song that has been redone and this too has been treated wonderfully. Sangita is the only song in the entire album that stands apart, yes with all the seven songs redone so beautifully this song is a mismatch. This one somehow does not match the caliber of the old classics and here to have failed to stand with songs like bai road ko batoma, ekai nazar ma, ma pyar bache dinchu and makhmali choli.

All in all Reeyaz music deserves a pat on the back for have coming out with such a good collection when many of the remixes coming out have not been able to do justice to the older versions. Go take a journey back in history with Rewind; the only difference this time around is with difference in music tunes.
