The rockers from 2006 who scored with their ballad Bhula do are back with another smashing album Hum Yaadon Ke Sang. From the title-track to Waada,and Tum meri ho to Aag,Raeth takes us through emotional tunes with surprise elements like influences of reggae and new-age rock as well as alternative without losing the distinct Raeth sound.
With a fresh vibe and renewed energy,the focus is distinctly on the serenity of Eastern melody and the energy of rock music,making the blend very individual and fresh to the listener.
