I have programmed a new AI and am currently working on modernizing and restructuring genres, topics, moods and tags. BPM will be replaced by “perceived speed”. Keys will be removed. The keyword search will also soon be extended to tags. There will also be an A.I. “Review” and a quality rating for each song. All music will soon be re-categorized. When I'm done with that, there will be new music again :)

"A Taste of Bollywood 1" immediately transports you to a vibrant celebration. The opening with the solo shenai-like instrument creates a sense of anticipation, before the track builds into a full-blown, energetic Bollywood-infused pop arrangement. The instrumentation is well-chosen, blending traditional elements, such as the tabla-like percussion and what sounds like Sitar, with a modern rhythmic foundation and a pleasant string bed. It certainly evokes a joyful and uplifting feeling. I love the call and response between the male and female singer.
From a production perspective, the track is generally well-mixed, with a good balance between the various elements. The vocals are clear and sit well in the mix, adding to the track's overall commercial appeal. However, I feel like the introduction is a bit lifeless. It lacks stereo width and doesn't feel very natural, because of the very dry sound. Also, the mix in the intro sounds a bit muddy overall, and it's hard to understand what's being played. These issues aren't present in the main part, which makes it sound even more noticeable. There's also an opportunity to introduce some more subtle variations in the dynamics to add a more human touch, as the track maintains a fairly constant energy level throughout.
The songwriting is catchy and memorable. "A Taste of Bollywood 1" captures the essential elements of a Bollywood-style love song, while the modern production gives it a broader appeal. This track would work well in a variety of media, from romantic comedies and travel documentaries to upbeat commercials and even some video game contexts. It's easy to imagine this song accompanying a joyful dance sequence or a montage of happy moments.
Overall, "A Taste of Bollywood 1" delivers on its title's promise. It’s an engaging and well-crafted piece of music. Addressing the mentioned production points, it can be brought to a fully professional industry level.

LYRICS
[Verse 1]
दिल में हलचल, रात है सजी
सितारे चमके, जैसे कोई खुशी
तेरी आँखों में, देखूँ मैं जहाँ
हर लम्हा बन जाए एक नयी दास्तान
[Chorus]
हौले-हौले, ये दिल कहे
तू ही है मेरा, तू ही है मेरा
सपनों में तू ही बसे
तू ही है मेरा, तू ही है मेरा
[Verse 2]
चाँदनी रातें, तेरे संग कटें
हर सुबह मेरी तेरे नाम पे लिखे
तेरी बातें, जैसे कोई गीत
दिल से जुड़े हैं हम, रहेंगे हम सदा करीब
[Chorus]
हौले-हौले, ये दिल कहे
तू ही है मेरा, तू ही है मेरा
सपनों में तू ही बसे
तू ही है मेरा, तू ही है मेरा
[Bridge]
राहों में फूलों की महक
तू हो साथ, हर दर्द हो दूर
तेरी हँसी है वो जादू
जो कर दे मेरा दिल मजबूर
[Outro]
हौले-हौले, दिल कहे
तू ही है मेरा, तू ही है मेरा
हर ख्वाब में तू ही बसे
तू ही है मेरा, तू ही है मेरा
