Suno na - In 2003 another brilliant composition in "Suno na" from the film "Jhankaar Beats" rocked the charts. Crooned by Shaan in his soft and soothing voice, the slow-paced number makes one groove in harmony.

Hum tum - The title track of "Hum Tum" (2004) is very well written and amazingly sung by Alka Yagnik and Babul Supriyo. The enticing song is slow, soothing and pleasing to the ears. It's a pleasantly syrupy ballad that sure does appeal and is perfect for a romantic outing.

Bheege honth tere - The song from the 2004 movie "Murder" fetched singer Kunal Ganjawala instant stardom. It has a more R&B feel to it, but the soft rendition does well to keep the listener in tune with the song.

O saathi re" - The song is distinct and out of the ordinary. The track exudes a feeling of intimacy and deep love and is impressively sung by Shreya Ghoshal and Vishal Bhardwaj. From 2006 film "Omkara", it is a must hear owing to its emotionally rich composition.

Laagi tumse man ki lagan - This refreshing number sung by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan straightaway touches the heart. Released in 2004, the rustic and enticing vocals give the song an edge and its Sufi influence keeps you swaying in an enthralled trance.

Tere liye - Yash Chopra's cross-border love story "Veer Zaara" was full of romantic numbers but the one that stood out was "Tere liye".

Bol na halke halke - Another melodious and honey-tucked composition, "Bol na halke halke" is fit for a day like Valentine's Day. Mahalaxmi Iyer casts a spell with her rendition and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan adds an edge. With a catchy rhythm, the track from the film "Jhoom Barabar Jhoom" (2007) has surpassed many songs of the same genre.

Kahin toh" - The same year "Kahin toh" from the film "Jane Tu...Ya Jaane Na" was released. With minimum orchestration, the love song soaked in melancholy is a winner in all spheres.
