Composer VR Kharb puts the spotlight on melody with Tum Hi Toh Ho

The nineties is known as one of the best eras for Bollywood music in contemporary times. We had musical greats such as Kumar Sanu, Alka Yagnik and Udit Narayan and music composers Nadeem-Shravan who were popularly known as melody kings. And yes! Movies of Mahesh Bhatt and Indra Kumar churned out some of the most melodious songs of that decade. But after that time, much of Bollywood music slid into cacophony or too much loudness.

Now, suddenly out of the blue, has come a song reminiscent of that glorious era of melody. Budding music composer and lyricist VR Kharb's first single Tum Hi Toh Ho immediately transports you into the nineties-ish era where melody reigned supreme.

Released by Yo Yo Music on YouTube, the number touted as the "most romantic song of 2020" has already garnered more than 4.5 lakh views. The love song sung by Manish Sharma not only soothes the senses, but is laced with some racy beats, giving it an upbeat tempo and a challenging pace.

Going by the fact that this is young-gun composer-lyricist VR Kharb's premier musical endeavour, one can surely expect more beautiful melodies from this talented lad soon.
