The Mujhe Naulakha-sampling Angelina is considerably better than My Kinda Girl that messes with Choli ke peeche with disastrously irritating results. Humrahee is a surprisingly capable, lovely melody track that...
Continue reading...Music review: Vaada Raha (Hindi – Toshi-Sharib, Babbu Maan, Monty, Rahul B. Seth and Sandy)
Toshi-Sharib’s (not TOCHI, please note!!) title song is a familiar 90s lilt and is indeed easy on the ear, while Babbu Maan’s techno-infused dard in Rab na kare is catchy...

When you think the man is down and out, Manisharma bounces back and how! Kadile padam carries the confidence and poise of a vintage Ilayaraja song, complete with superbly crafted...

Hasili fisiliye is typical Harris fare – gibberish opening and a simple, rhythmic pattern; does get addictive after the initial annoyance. Yeno yeno has plain horrendous Tamil pronunciation by Shail...

Bubble gum is interesting for its completely abstract tune that changes pitch every few seconds – doesn’t stick, but. Jillendru oru kalavaram uses a standard pop melody and with its...
Continue reading...Music review: Three (Hindi – Chirantan Bhatt)
With its sweet and mild Latino sound, Tum jo ho kareeb is reasonably listenable – Shreya going for the kill with her velvety vocals. This beat is really thumping is...
Continue reading...Music review: Januma Janumadallu (Kannada – Mano Murthy)
Aalangisu’s enthusiastic melody and arrangement is reminiscent of Mungaru Male – in a positive way, that is! In Tumbali, he gives Shreya a lively tune and she pulls it off...
