When Anurag Kashyap told Amit Trivedi that he wanted a soundtrack that grips the attention of youngsters between the ages of 18 and 20, the composer looked at him with amusement. “You and Shellee ji [lyricist] are in your 50s, and I am in my 40s. How will we create a soundtrack that caters to 20-year-olds?” Trivedi asked the director, who appointed his daughter Aaliyah, 22, to serve as their sounding board as they prepared to create the eight-track album of Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat.
The director’s diktat was also fitting, given that the film follows a young London-based disc jockey who creates original music. “Five songs were made for this character, and the rest are romantic songs for the twin love stories in the film. The album was a tough one to crack, because we needed a new-age melody, and that required research. There was electronica, and dance music that was employed. We tried to understand what [Aaliyah] and her friends were listening to,” says the musician, adding that another means to acquire the youthful vibe that they desired was to rope in the younger crop of singers for the renditions.
