Even though the team of Sachin-Jigar is relatively new the presence of Satish Kaushik perks people's interest in the album. There are added names of Anu Malik and Bappi Lahiri which has one wondering.

Opening song 'I will be there for you' is just the right beginning for a 'kidult love story' like Teree Sang. It is also refreshing to see singers like Clinton and Dominique Cerejo coming together for this lovely romantic-n-youthful number that talks about togetherness, friendship and love. One must also commend Sameer for coming up with lyrics that move away from the routine 'dil vil pyaar vyaar' mode and instead bring out emotions of teenagers who are just exploring love, a big part of which still stays on to be core friendship. A winner track to begin the album.

Sachin-Jjgar's own rendition of the next popular Sufi-rock is surely the best track of the album. Boasting of a great energy with a slight touch of Indian classical fused throughout its five minute duration, the song is instantly catchy.  It's a fully charged rock number that fuels up with energy as it progresses from its middle interludes to its last verses. Reminds us of Pakistani Rock numbers.

'Maula Mile De'', another aggressive Sufi-rock number follows it later and this time its Suhail's voice gracing up with fine tuning of instrumentals in the backdrop. It's a rock-lovers special. Sameer's poetic lyrics find the perfect concoction of orchestral flows and Suhail's youthful voice and together they culminate out perfectly well with finale of wonderful guitar jamming.

'Rab Milya' is a much needed respite after the racy tracks. As soothing as it gets, this is one number that has a Satish Kaushik touch to it. A love song which has some beautiful melody by Sachin-Jigar, 'Rab Milya' instantly takes you to the hills and meadows where a major part of the film is set.

After making enormous impact with four beautiful numbers, the mood turns situational with ''filmi'' numbers striking big and the first to strike is average sounding ''Miss Baabloo''. Bappi Lahiri makes mischievous vocal gestures with frenzy rap singing and comes out in ''teasing-pleasing'' way, well suited for comical situation in the film.

Anu Malik is heard for the first time in the album with his song 'Chal Mera Haath Pakad Le'. A song about the girl looking at love and support from her boyfriend, this Sameer written number carries a youthful appeal to it and has an Anu Malik stamp to it. With a peppy flavour to it, courtesy Anmol Malik's vocals, 'Chal Mera Haath Pakad Le' may not be the next hit in the making but doesn't harm the flow of the album. One still looks forward to what Sachin and Jigar have to offer in the rest of the album.

Sachi-Jigar present the talented Jahnvi Shrimankar along with Master Salim in a tranquil-paced love duet ''Leja Leja'. Jhanvi's wonderful vocals make this an album to remember.

Lal Quile Ke Peechey' which is homage to the city of Delhi. While Shaan and Anmol Malik come together for this dance number that takes listeners through a Delhi round of eateries, historical places and other areas of interest, 'Lal Quile...' also showcases Anu Malik's rap. A foot tapping number that should fit in well with the youthful mood of the film.

It ends on a sad song with Bappi da's composition "tere Bin". Singers Raza hassan a Sumedha do a nice job but the song does not fit well in the album.

Kudos to the new team to have created a wonderful album in Tere Sang.
