Bhavle jharne and Boitha maro‘s Eastern sound is beautifully enhanced by the tasteful inclusion of modern sounds, particularly in the latter. Barish ke boondein and Din guzrein play out like gorgeous ghazals, in Papon’s expressive voice, while Chhoti chhoti‘s lazy tune and guitar strums are endearing. Duur and Jonaaki raati are fabulously trippy, the latter, sound-wise and the former, in every way! Kyon hota and Main chalta are the album’s most catchy and filmy, even as Aankhee explores Papon’s range in interesting psychedelic pop. But for its lyrics, Keep rolling is wonderfully sing-along’ish. Long overdue and fitting debut by Papon!
