New Delhi: There can never be a more apt introduction to him than the fact that he’s one of the three men who gave us the song Kajra Re. Music composer Ehsaan Noorani of the Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy trio says there is no controversy over the title track of Jhoom Barabar Jhoom as singer Daler Mehndi insists.

CNN-IBN caught up with Ehsaan at the launch of a music store in the Capital.

Iram Mirza: Jhoom Barabar Jhoom is set to release. What kind of reviews are pouring in for the music?

Ehsaan Noorani: I do read press reviews but I usually check user reviews on the web. I had a couple of interesting experiences. One user had completely thrashed the music saying it was the worst album we had ever done. At the end he had written ‘Why’ in capitals.

Iram Mirza: How do you respond to that ‘Why’?

Ehsaan Noorani: The interesting thing is that the same guy reposted the review a week later saying it was the best thing that he had heard. So that says a lot about the music and that is important to us.

Iram Mirza: What’s your take on the Daler controversy?

Ehsaan Noorani: I’m not really into it because there is no controversy. Voices get changed all the time. Shankar Mahadevan sang Kal ho na ho first. But then we thought Sonu (Nigam) would be better for the song. So since the song demanded it, we did it.
