Sonu's back?

Sonu Nigam has been one of my favorite playback singers ever since he came on the scene back in the late 90s. But ever since Mungaru Male became the monster hit it did, back in 2006, he almost gave up singing for Hindi films & seemed to have devoted himself full time to his Kannadiga fans.

His Bollywood credits since then have been few & far in between .... but have consequently stood out apart from the clutter. Last year, Soniyo from the Raaz sequel was one of the best songs of the year, and today I've got hold of the Main Aur Mrs. Khanna soundtrack, where he features on the bonafide hit track, Don't Say Alvida alongside the silky smooth Shreya Ghoshal. One of the best tracks for 2009, I'm sure. He should definitely be singing more often for Hindi movies.
