Dangerous, No money no love, Lovers of the sun & Lift me up – Listen (David Guetta) I know this album has been universally mauled to be blah, but strangely,...

Mukunda (Music review), Telugu – Mickey J Meyer
Chesededo‘s pulsating tune plays beautifully in contrast to the expansive, thrumming background. Daredumdadum is relatively simplistic and predictable, but the orchestration is enchanting, while Chitra rules over the other predictable,...

Barring the corny lyrics, Vandha mala has limited engaging power, using a simple, jaded tune. Unnale is a surprise because it is no sung by Saindhavi – seems tailor-made for...

Achu’s jazz’y turn in My dear sweety and rock ‘n roll turn in Chirigi chattayindi are fantastic! The composer delivers the former’s funny lyrics really well himself, with brilliant orchestration...

Dance Basanti is hardly representative of Sachin Jigar’s current form – a catchy, but thoroughly derivative song that could have easily been scored any Punjabi composer with random Z or...

On nanba is a stunning album opener! Rahman goes full on Middle Eastern, loads on the dance elements to the already zingy tune mildly reminiscent of the iconic Greek-Egyptian Misirlou....
