After making a grand entry into the world of Hindi music nearly 2 years ago, Adnan Sami Khan returns with his second Indi-Pop album, Tera Chehra. Adnan�s first album, Kabhi To Nazar Milao was tremendous success, and now T-Series has reportedly paid him a huge amount for this album. Adnan is supported by Sameer in this venture as the lyricist. Though Sameer�s work can�t be termed a masterpiece, his writing here is definitely much better than most of his often released Hindi film soundtracks. The way T-Series is promoting this album � with lavish music videos and tremendous publicity � combined with the quality of the album itself; don�t be surprised if this turns out to be another successful album for Sami.

�Tera Chehra� begins the album on a great note. This is undoubtedly the best song of the album. The rhythm is nicely put together, and combined with Sameer�s romantic poetry and Adnan�s soulful rendition; this one is definitely guaranteed to be on everyone�s lips. Throw in a sensually picturized music video on Rani Mukherjee and what more does the song need in becoming a success? There is also an �unplugged� version of the song included on the CD, which you won�t find on the audiocassette.

�Tere Bina� has an easy flow that makes it likeable. The slightly playful composition and of course the singing make it worth listening to. �Roothay Huay� is another composition which is instantly likeable. The lyrics and Adnan�s rendition are easily reminiscent of the numerous sentimental Kishore-da numbers from the seventies. However, that works for the song than rather going against it.

�Nain Se Nain Mila� is slightly experimental � and the experimentation works in favor of Sami. Sami�s tried to infuse a slightly classical touch to the song, but what�s unique is the manner in which he has arranged the beats. The beats are mixed very well and his style of rendition makes this song a keeper.

Sami�s tried to experiment a little also in �Saanson Mein�, however, he�s not as successful here. Most of the songs in the album have used the tabla as the backdrop; here however, the arrangements are more westernized. The irritating synthesizer effect infused with Sami�s voice and the somewhat jarring composition bring down the quality.

The much talked about duet with Amitabh Bachchan, �Kabhi Naee!� will unmistakably remind listeners of �Lift Karadey�. The lyrics and the theme of the song are slightly similar to �Lift Karadey�, but the energetic and chemistry-filled rendition by the Big B and Sami along with the peppy beats make it a chartbuster.

The only two mediocre numbers in the album come in the form of �Meri Yaad� and �Teri Bahon Mein�. The main contributors to minor flaws in this song are Sameer�s lyrics (can he EVER complete an album without being repetitive?) and the somewhat boring compositions.

Overall, Tera Chehra is winner! The album contains some awesome songs and if you�re fan of romantic songs you don�t want to skip this album. There�s no doubt that this album will successful just like KTNM, and it deserves to be.
