'''''Bombay Velvet''''' is the [[soundtrack]] composed by [[Amit Trivedi]] to the [[Bombay Velvet|2015 film of the same name]] directed by [[Anurag Kashyap]] starring [[Ranbir Kapoor]] and [[Anushka Sharma]]. The album featured 10 original songs with lyrics written by [[Amitabh Bhattacharya]] and performed by [[Neeti Mohan]], [[Shefali Alvares]], [[Shalmali Kholgade]], [[Papon (singer)|Papon]], [[Mohit Chauhan]] and Trivedi. It also accompanied three instrumentals used in the [[film score]]. The album also featured two alternative versions of an original song, compiling over 15 tracks in the album.

Most of the compositions were heavily influenced in [[jazz music]], as Trivedi wanted to introduce the genre to the contemporary Indian audiences who were unfamiliar with the genre. To achieve this, he researched on jazz music over a year and took two more years to sketch the basic compositions. Later, he recorded the songs and the score during 2014 and 2015 in [[India]] and [[Czech Republic]], taking nearly four years for the film's music. The soundtrack was released by the record label [[Zee Music Company]] on 24 April 2015.

Although the film was a critical and commercial disappointment, the soundtrack was critically acclaimed often regarded as one of the best Hindi film albums of that year and decade, as well as one of Trivedi's best works in his career.

== Background ==
''Bombay Velvet'' is Trivedi's second collaboration with Kashyap after his critically acclaimed work for ''[[Dev.D]]'' (2009).<ref>{{Cite web |date=2013-12-24 |title=Amit Trivedi: Where Music Meets Magic |url=https://www.forbesindia.com/article/2013-celebrity-100/amit-trivedi-where-music-meets-magic/36749/1 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140210123745/https://www.forbesindia.com/article/2013-celebrity-100/amit-trivedi-where-music-meets-magic/36749/1 |archive-date=2014-02-10 |access-date=2023-12-10 |website=Forbes India |language=en}}</ref> Trivedi agreed to score music for the film after he liked the script which had scope for [[jazz music]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2015-08-21 |title=AR Rahman my biggest influence in Bollywood: Amit Trivedi |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/music/ar-rahman-my-biggest-influence-in-bollywood-amit-trivedi/story-Y5a0yYr2QzTAt9wWCeOGOP.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150930074701/https://www.hindustantimes.com/music/ar-rahman-my-biggest-influence-in-bollywood-amit-trivedi/story-Y5a0yYr2QzTAt9wWCeOGOP.html |archive-date=2015-09-30 |access-date=2023-12-10 |website=Hindustan Times |language=en}}</ref> As contemporary Indian audience were not well versed with jazz music, Trivedi felt that the soundtrack was an experiment for them.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |date=2015-08-04 |title=Bombay Velvet's success would have changed the course of Jazz music in the country: Amit Trivedi |url=https://www.news18.com/news/movies/bombay-velvets-success-would-have-changed-the-course-of-jazz-music-in-the-country-amit-trivedi-1030125.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160506202745/https://www.news18.com/news/movies/bombay-velvets-success-would-have-changed-the-course-of-jazz-music-in-the-country-amit-trivedi-1030125.html |archive-date=2016-05-06 |access-date=2023-12-10 |website=News18 |language=en}}</ref> At a [[Reddit AMA]] session, Kashyap said that the film's music would reflect the jazz era of 1960s Hindi film music, taking excerpts from how [[C.

Amitabh Bhattacharya recalled that Kashyap insisted him to write the songs in a language that can be instantly identified with, demanding the 1960s songwriting techniques by [[Sahir Ludhianvi]], [[Shailendra (lyricist)|Shailendra]] and [[Anand Bakshi]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Manwani |first=Akshay |date=2015-12-22 |title=Film lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya: 'If we write what we find in everyday usage, that creates a connection' |url=https://scroll.in/reel/800869/film-lyricist-amitabh-bhattacharya-if-we-write-what-we-find-in-everyday-usage-that-creates-a-connection |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190901234656/https://scroll.in/reel/800869/film-lyricist-amitabh-bhattacharya-if-we-write-what-we-find-in-everyday-usage-that-creates-a-connection |archive-date=2019-09-01 |access-date=2023-12-10 |website=Scroll.in |language=en-US}}</ref>

Trivedi described Bombay Velvet as a "good old fashioned Hindi album" where the songs need its own time and have been seamlessly woven into the storytelling, and not all the songs would be an instant success. The song "Behroopia" was edited from the film, as according to Trivedi, the people who were closely associated in the film and the marketing department found the soundtrack to be influenced with too much jazz and producers suggested him to make a romantic song that could be relevant with the current audience. Hence, he composed the song "Behroopia" as a "modern romantic number".<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=2015-05-14 |title=Know all about the making of Bombay Velvet's music |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/music/know-all-about-the-making-of-bombay-velvets-music/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151030043447/https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/music/know-all-about-the-making-of-bombay-velvets-music/ |archive-date=2015-10-30 |access-date=2023-12-10 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}</ref>

== Production ==
Trivedi spent a year over researching jazz and its influences in the film and started sketching basic compositions in mid-2012 and 2013 implementing the nuances of jazz in the score and listened to standard and classic jazz music to imbibe that feel.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Mukherjee |first=Tatsam |date=2022-12-06 |title=The Talented Mr. (Amit) Trivedi |url=https://www.filmcompanion.in/features/indepth-stories/the-talented-mr-amit-trivedi |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230202072552/https://www.filmcompanion.in/features/indepth-stories/the-talented-mr-amit-trivedi |archive-date=2023-02-02 |access-date=2023-12-10 |website=Film Companion |language=en}}</ref> When Trivedi was touring in United States, Kashyap asked him to go to [[New Orleans]] which was the hub for jazz music having a variety of jazz genres. However, both of them went against it as recording in that state would have been expensive.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Chhabra |first=Aseem |date=2015-05-07 |title=How Bombay Velvet got made! |url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/interview/how-bombay-velvet-got-made/20150505.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150607123207/https://www.rediff.com/movies/interview/how-bombay-velvet-got-made/20150505.htm |archive-date=2015-06-07 |access-date=2023-12-10 |website=Rediff |language=en}}</ref> Instead, he recorded the music in [[Prague]] with a big band orchestra of around 100 musicians performing the score and collaborated with session musicians who worked with several Hollywood musicians. The recording was also happened in [[Mumbai]] and [[Chennai]] with jazz drummer [[Gino Banks]] performed more than five songs in the background.<ref name=":0" />

For the vocals, Trivedi had several singers for the female protagonist before finalising the cast. When Sharma came onboard, he instantly associated with Neeti Mohan as the background singer, because she earlier sang "[[Jiya Re]]" composed by [[A. R. Rahman]] for ''[[Jab Tak Hai Jaan]]'' (2012) which also starred Sharma. Trivedi felt Neeti had a "vibrant voice" that would seamlessly suit Sharma's screen presence. However, he described the recording process was quite tough as they went through numerous workshops and music sessions so that she could "live with the songs".<ref name=":0" />

Besides Trivedi, [[Mikey McCleary]] also contributed to the music. He was suggested by the film's producers, to produce a "catchy, commercial, upbeat version" of the song "Mohabbat Buri Bimari", originally composed by Trivedi. His version was sung by [[Shalmali Kholgade]]. He recreated the track "Jaata Kahaan Hai Deewane" from ''[[C.I.D. (1956 film)|C.I.D.]]'' (1956) which was originally composed by [[O. P. Nayyar]] and written by [[Majrooh Sultanpuri]] as "Fifi" as the original track was removed from the film by the [[Central Board of Film Certification]] (CBFC).<ref>{{Cite web |date=2015-03-27 |title=Anushka Sharma to do a Waheeda Rehman's Jaata Kahaan Hain in Bombay Velvet! |url=https://www.bollywoodlife.com/news-gossip/anushka-sharma-to-do-a-waheeda-rehmans-jaata-kahaan-hain-in-bombay-velvet-488805/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231210101219/https://www.bollywoodlife.com/news-gossip/anushka-sharma-to-do-a-waheeda-rehmans-jaata-kahaan-hain-in-bombay-velvet-488805/ |archive-date=2023-12-10 |access-date=2023-12-10 |website=Bollywood Life |language=en}}</ref> Kashyap described the use for the song, as "one for the time period, second it fits in perfectly with the opium den atmosphere and the bars visited by Naval officers at the time and RK’s character comes there after the fight to drown his pain in the haze of opium".<ref>{{Cite web |date=2015-04-10 |title='Bombay Velvet' brings 'Jaata Kahaan Hai' from 'CID' back |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/bombay-velvet-brings-jaata-kahaan-hai-from-cid-back/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151021104631/https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/bombay-velvet-brings-jaata-kahaan-hai-from-cid-back/ |archive-date=2015-10-21 |access-date=2023-12-10 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}</ref> McCleary said that they demanded an "upbeat" and "dancey" promotional song within the film, as the original song was pretty slow, he curated a "jazzy, swingy, fast" version which was sung by [[Suman Sridhar]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=2015-05-08 |title=Mikey McCleary: Lucky Ali was the reason I came to India |work=The Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/music/news/mikey-mccleary-lucky-ali-was-the-reason-i-came-to-india/articleshow/47198029.cms |access-date=2023-12-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150512100436/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/music/news/mikey-mccleary-lucky-ali-was-the-reason-i-came-to-india/articleshow/47198029.cms |archive-date=2015-05-12 |issn=0971-8257}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2015-04-21 |title=Reimagining Classics: Suman Sridhar on her recent hit 'Fifi' for 'Bombay Velvet' |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/music/reimagining-classics-suman-sridhar-on-her-recent-hit-fifi-for-bombay-velvet/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151021054720/https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/music/reimagining-classics-suman-sridhar-on-her-recent-hit-fifi-for-bombay-velvet/ |archive-date=2015-10-21 |access-date=2023-12-10 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}</ref>

Devesh Sharma writing for [[Filmfare]] stated that, "The album won’t appeal to you on first listening.
