2013 has been a stellar year for soundtracks, with constant innovation and the odd chartbuster that eventually tops your most played list on your iPod. There was a lot of fabulous collaborations like Vishal Bharadwaj and South-African band Umoja for Matru Ki Bijli Ka Mandola or the full on Southie beats for Chennai Express. There was a lot of regional flavour and experimentation with music directors like A.R. Rahman and Amit Trivedi looking to the sounds of Banaras and Gujarat for their fantastic albums. Whoever says there’s a dearth of good soundtracks, then look no further than our list of top albums of the year!

Amit Trivedi appears twice on our list, because he proved that quality trumps quality with his three-song album that perfectly conjured up that Gujurati flavour with his consistently inventive stamp. Who could have thought that bagpipes would go seamlessly well with shehnaii...

Ajay Devgn may be fighting a battle for his Son of Sardaar but as far as his next release Himmatwala is concerned, his friend and director Sajid Khan is ensuring that there is nothing but the best that comes his way. This was evidenced last week when Amit Kumar, son of legendary Kishore Kumar, was brought on board to recreate the late singer's chartbuster track 'Naino Mein Sapna'. "Since the makers already had right of the song, they could have anyways gone with it as is. However, Sajid felt that it would be a good idea to recreate the era gone by with a similar voice. He was sure though that the singer who was roped in ought to have a similar voice stem as Kishoreda. After much deliberation, the idea struck to have his son Amit himself coming being mike. After all, the very DNA is reason enough to...

Thank You, this title will surely ring bells for all good and humorous reasons, as it comes from the stables of a filmmaker who has been consistent in delivering out frothy slapstick entertainers. Director Anees Bazmee pitches out another rib-tickler that has all the ingredients to attract footfalls into the theatres. Ensemble of bankable A-list actors, grandeur of exotic foreign locations, crazy slapstick comedy and to spice it all, it has Pritam's peppy music to make everything notable in days to come. In Bazmee's flicks music has always been mechanical or situational but still have grounded screenplay to its fullest potential. Thank You opens to minimal musical expectations but all the above mentioned features makes it as one of most anticipated musical releases. Can this Thank You be another Welcome surprise for listeners? Just check this out... It all started off with rehashed version of 'Apni toh jaise taise'...
