In Chamma chakka, Tippu and Chinmayi have a foot-tapping tune that Achu accentuates with the earthy rhythm and mandolin, and a particularly fantastic second interlude. Achu’s only other track, Thanaloni...

Bhale Manchi Roju (Music review), Telugu – Sunny M.R.
Sunny composes and sings the title song confidently, a catchy Bepop jazz’ish tune. In Ningi needera, the retro-styled scratchy sound moves to something modern with a neat sitar hook, while...

Suryudne chusoddhama has that languorous sound that Sunny pioneered, and along with the captivating guitar strumming it sounds so good, in Arijit, Sunny and Harshika’s cool vocals! Aditya and Harshika...

Reena mecareena‘s Smooth Criminal (Michael Jackson) origins are really hard to ignore, and a bit strange, given this is by Ilayaraja! Still, it’s a catchy, easily likeable song, sung with...

Run has an infectitious and anthemic sound that works pretty well with its sing-along’ish tune. Sai Sharan and Nivaz sing it mighty well too. Malaysian hip-hop/rapper Rabbit Mac leads Ria...
Continue reading...Akhil (Music review), Telugu – Anup Rubens & Thaman S
Nennekkadunte‘s is high-energy and stadium-rock style sound makes the cut, though, at points, Anoop seems to be overdoing the choice of his sounds just as a show-off. The grand, anthemic...

Itu itu ani chitikelu evvarivo, beyond the symphonic touches mid-way and the Panthuvarali raaga tweak later, is essentially a typical Laxmikant-Pyarelal style 80s Hindi track. Ooru erayyindi eru horettindi‘s thumping...
