The problem with new bands releasing albums is that most of the songs sound very stagey and almost methodical. This is quite pronounced in Srishti’s Ondrai seruvom with the lead...
Continue reading...Music review: Rechipo (Telugu – Manisharma)
Manisharma’s ingenuity in tuning the peculiarly retro-styled Ettuko is quite apparent – this is a seductive track with supremely confident vocals by Geetha Madhuri. Hemachandra and Malavika help the sweetly...
Continue reading...Music review: Ganesh (Telugu – Mickey J Meyer)
That decidedly unimpressive kids’ chorus that opens Karthik’s Chalo chalore perhaps forebodes that Mickey’s latest may just belie the expectations set by his earlier, impressive soundtracks – but the track...

Barring the passable melody, Iruvizhi Irandum, by Haricharan, the rest is NW1W.

NW1W! (I figured that people may be expecting a review if I mention the deadly 4 alphabets – NW1W, denoting Not Worth 100 Word – only in my tweets…considering not...
