Atif monopolizes Prince –  It's Showtime soundtrack

So, since Atif Aslam had asked us to follow the whole Prince - It's Showtime thing on YouTube, we did. The official track list for the film has been released and has a whopping 16 songs in its dossier. The film will be released on March 26, and we can hardly wait to see Vivek Oberoi aka Prince prance around in a black pleather bodysuit as he mimes to Atif's sonorous voice. Because, wait for it, we counted, and Atif has sung 11 songs on the soundtrack! If that is not musical fabulousness, we don't know what is. And never mind the fact that four of those songs are dance mixes of ones he has already sung on the album, one is a 'hip hop mix' and another is a 'lounge mix'.

The official launch of the music was slated for February 1, which has come and gone so we look forward to the next date provided on Atif's official fanpage on the social networking site that has made the world too close for comfort; Facebook.

"The date of the music release of Prince keeps on changing," bemoans the page's status, "here is the latest update about the music release: music of Prince releases on Feb 14." We know! What fortunate timing, now nobody will have to worry about what to get their other half on the day of Hallmarky love! Just buy them a Prince album (It's showtime and not the artist formerly known as). With titles such as 'Aa Bhi Ja Sanam' and 'Tere Liye', we don't think you can go too wrong. Atif and gang also see the fortuitousness of the timing: "gift the songs of Atif Aslam & Sachin to your beloved ones - we will keep u updated!"
