	Lara lappa   click here to listen to the song Lara Lappa | Music: Jaidev Kumar | T-Series Artiste: Gursevak Mann Gursevak is an ex-pilot who decided that bhangra was his calling, rather than hanging out in the hangars.

	Jungle mein ek sher   click here to listen to the song Jantar Mantar | Music: Anand Raaj Anand | Times Music Artiste: Sunil Shetty After Govinda, it's now macho man Sunil Shetty's turn to start singing. But this is not a filmi album; instead, Shettu sings for the li'l ones, along the lines of nursery rhymes. Cute stuff for kids aged below 10.
	Tera milna pal do pal ka   click here to listen to the song Jaan | Music: Nikhil-Vinay | T-Series Artiste: Sonu Nigam Sonu Nigam's sales rival that of Daler Mehndi. The young singer has managed to outsell and outstage every one of the much-hyped artistes of the pop brigade. The latest album too, sounds like a winner.
	Mohabbat ho gayee   click here to listen to the song Mohabbat ho gayee | Music: Roopkumar Rathod, Jay Vijay | Venus Artistes: Roopkumar and Sonali Rathod Ghazal singers Roopkumar and Sonali turn to pop music. Their album comes as a breath of fresh air simply because they have trained voices.
	Aisa bhi kabhi hota hai   click here to listen to the song Aisa Bhi Kabhi Hota Hai | Music: Santosh Nair | BMG Crescendo Artiste: Sairam aur Sairam Sairam's USP is that he sings his duets all by himself.

	Yeh dil sun raha hai   click here to listen to the song Sansara | Music: Biddu | Universal Artistes: Sansara Sansara consists of three women. They sound okay when they sing in unison, but fall flat on their solo efforts. The band's USP is Biddu's music.
	Jalwa   click here to listen to the song Yeh hai jalwa | Music: Sanjiv | Universal Artiste: Ram Shankar Another engaging album from Ram Shankar. This one's music has the distinctive Ram Shankar signature, with folk tunes and lyrics that come straight from the heart.
	Kudi patakha ho gayi   click here to listen to the song Piya | Music: Lalit Sen | T-Series Artiste: Richa Sharma Richa Sharma began her career by doing Ila Arun imitations in her husky voice.

	Kudi kudi   click here to listen to the song Kudi Kudi | Music: Jaidev Kumar | Times Music Artiste: Jassi Jassi hit bigtime with Dil le gayee, and in less than a year, he is back with his second album. Looks like, he is set for another hit with Kudi kudi.
	Yaari yaari   click here to listen to the song Yaari Yaari | Music: Jawahar Wattal | Tips Artiste: Shankar Sahney Shankar Sahney has a distinct, trained voice in his favour. His songs are above the usual fare, and the album is a mix of light pop and folk tunes.
	Dekho tum jidhar   click here to listen to the song Additappa | Music: Raju Singh | Virgin Music Artistes: Caliche Girl bands came to India with Models, who disbanded as quickly as they were formed. To fill that void, a new girlie band Caliche hits the bandstands, with some fast-paced tracks.

	Tumko Piya   click here to listen to the song Naina | Music: Julius Packiam, Gaurav Raina | Milestone Artiste: Annamika Annamika seems to be hungry for hits.

	Haule haule   click here to listen to the song Tum Ho Mere Pass | Music: Bhavdeep Jaipurwale | Rajshri Music Artiste: Sonali Vajpayee Sonali Vajpayee's debut album leaves one wanting for more. Her voice is soft and trained, and the songs complement the voice. She doesn't try to follow any trend, so the songs work to produce a great effect. Watch out for Sonali.
	Thodi thodi saanjh   click here to listen to the song Thodi Thodi Saanjh | Music: Saibal Basu | Archies Music Artiste: Shibani Kashyap Shibani's second album lacks her partner singer-composer Aslam's presence and a hit track. The songs are passable at best.
	Lovely lovely   click here to listen to the song Only Mohabbat | Music: Amir | Tips Artiste: Amir Amir joins the ever-growing ranks of young wannabe yuppies crooning. At least, he is easy on the ears, sticking to soft tunes.
	Jaadugarian   click here to listen to the song Jaadugarian | Music: Amar Haldipur | Venus Artiste: Gurdas Maan Gurdas Maan, the original bhangra king, now brings in Western influences to Punjabi lyrics. Nonetheless, his new album is great fun, and re-establishes his position in the midst of other wannabes.
	Jadoo   click here to listen to the song Rasiya | Music: Milind Ingle | Sony Music Artiste: Milind Ingle Another Ingle number from the same album, but even this one fails to recreate the magic of Yeh Hai Prem.
	Kya hai yeh jadoo   click here to listen to the song Kya hai yeh jadoo | Music: Vedic Chant | Archies Music Artistes: Vedic Chant They give pop a new spin, breaking into chants like 'Hare Krishna' and 'Govinda bolo' every now and then. Luckily, they don't sound bad and do come up with some energetic tunes.
	Hayo dunk mar gayee   click here to listen to the song Punjabi Munda | Music: Jawahar Wattal | Tips Artistes: Various Another album which banks on the remix craze. Along with a music video that looks like Hum Aapke Hain Koun or Hum Saath-Saath Hain, to be more with the times. The same old marketing gimmick -- old songs jazzed up with new beats and young voices.
	Maine payal hai chhankai   click here to listen to the song Maine payal hai chhankai | Music: Lalit | Polygram Artiste: Falguni Pathak After her successful debut last year as a pop singer, Falguni Pathak continues her dream run. Simple, yet catchy.

	Piya se milke aaye nain   click here to listen to the song Piya se milke aaye nain | Music: Jawahar Wattal | Tips Artistes: Hema Sardesai Hema Sardesai failed to make a mark with her first pop album. This time she sheds the western image and goes in for the traditional with a vengenace. The songs and the video seem straight out of a Rajshri film.
	Pyaar Bina   click here to listen to the song Parvaaz | Music: Salman Ahmed | Virgin Records Artistes: Junoon Junoon fans are going wild over the new album. This is another powerful track with some great vocals and a powerful bass.
	Dildar Yaar   click here to listen to the song Jazba | Music: Anup Bhatt | Times Music Artiste: Nirmal Pandey Nirmal Pandey goes from acting to pop, churning out folk tunes with a western beat and zany lyrics to match. This song is the second instalment from the album, and -- thankfully -- less violent than the first.
	Savariya (Once upon a time)   click here to listen to the song Savariya | Music: Sriram-Radha | Magnasound Artistes: 3 Brothers and a Violin These brothers are new on the block and if they sound like the Colonial Cousins, you can forgive them because they sound great.
