First things first - The music of London Dreams requires not one, not two, not three but at least five odd listening before it starts growing on you. At first instance the music seems to be going all over, especially due to the fact that most of the tunes are plain unconventional and nothing that one has heard in a mainstream Bollywood film before. By the second instance one starts wondering if the expectations were really worth it as you aspire for something more comfortable and easy on ears in terms of recollection value.
For those who were missing the kind of trademark compositions that Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy are known for, there is 'Khwab Jo'. A serene track that gets into the dynamics of a 'khwab' and how, when, why and where is it actually a 'khwab' and not a 'haqeeqat', 'Khwab Jo' by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Shankar Mahadevan is an out and out poetic track by Prasoon Joshi. One wonders the kind of pain that Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy must have gone through in order to spin a tune around the lyrics. A smooth moving number that has a melodic base to it, 'Khwab Jo' sees the fusion of Indian classical with soft rock that becomes more and more apparent as one reaches the song's end.
