Thalsamayam Oru Penkutty – Music Review (Malayalam Movie Soundtrack)

VIP — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 10:50:41 +0000

You can listen to the entire soundtrack here. Composer Sharath gets the two veterans Chithra and Yesudas to sing the two respective versions of Ponnodu Poovai, a song with arrangement very evocative of Rahman’s 90s style, topped with some delightful employment of the kanjira. Chithra’s version worked better for me coz of the dainty touches [...]

Ishq – Music Review (Telugu Movie Soundtrack)

VIP — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 05:39:23 +0000

Click on each song name to listen to it. With some imaginative touches like Karthik’s whistling and Jaishankar Iyer’s melodica rendition over a breezy Spanish template, composer duo Aravind-Shankar’s Edho Edho charms right from the word go. Pradeep Vijay and Kalyani Nair carry the vocals part with equal sincerity, and you have a winner on [...]

VIP — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 16:01:00 +0000

Great grand daughter of Pandit Motiram. Grand niece of Pandit Jasraj. It comes as little surprise then that Shweta Pandit became a playback singer at the time she did, recording for Ilayaraja as early as at the age of 4, Currently a regular fixture in AR Rahman’s World tours, the lady has recorded songs in a handful languages [...]

Dhoni – Music Review (Tamil Movie Soundtrack)

VIP — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 14:35:12 +0000

You can listen to the soundtrack here. The bubbly arrangement of Chinna Kanniley with its lovely use of kids’ chorus et al is a delightful throwback to Raja’s Anjali days. Shreya Ghoshal rules the rendition, sidelining a strangely nasal and off-colour Naresh Iyer. The composer’s adeptness at orchestration, particularly with the guitar, comes to the [...]

Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya – Music Review (Bollywood Movie Soundtrack)

VIP — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 20:22:05 +0000

Atif Aslam is not my fav singer. In fact I hate his singing in many songs. Post his Jal days that is. But there have been occasions that I had to grudgingly admit to liking his singing. Piya O Re Piya is one such. Strong flavours of past songs, especially of the Pritam kind, but [...]

Aparajita Tumi – Music Review (Bengali Movie Soundtrack)

VIP — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 04:07:52 +0000

You can listen to the soundtrack here. The first three songs also have music videos featuring the artists, which you can watch by clicking on the song title. With a nursery rhyme-ish lilt about the tune and a piano-led unplugged arrangement from Shantanu Moitra that matches the simplicity of the song, Roopkathara is winner all the [...]

Jodi Breakers – Music Review

VIP — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 20:10:44 +0000

You can listen to the soundtrack here (link courtesy @iPeeKay) Mild flashback elements apart, Kunwara is a catchy dance-y piece that makes smart use of the shehnai wedding motif. The Kolaveri Di-inspired video featuring Salim Merchant on vocals has already been making its rounds on the web. Bipasha has a distinct “Pritam in Dhoom” flavour [...]
