R.I.P Michael Jackson. Regardless of all those nasty controversies and jokes, I’ve grown up with his music (as also the other controversial Michael – George Michael, another HUGE influence!) and...

Rangu rangu brings the mental picture of a 80s Tamil hero dancing – beautifully lilting tune, unique to Raja. Shringara sindhura, Kogile koogu baa and Yaarivalu are predictable Raja melodies...

Minimal techno-wizardry and even more minimal tune makes Luck aazma a poor title song, but the duo spring a surprise with Salim’s vocals in the laid-back melody of Khudaya ve....

Karthik croons assertively and, along with the composer’s fantastic backgrounds and a spellbinding tune, rocks Oh eesa! This is an awe-inspiring, albeit, masala’ish track that is instantly captivating. Indha paadhai’s...

From the promos, Om mangalam by RDB sounded mundane, but ironically, that is the best track of the soundtrack. And, it’s merely a passable track inspired no doubt by Singh...
Continue reading...Music review: Jashn (Hindi – Sharib-Toshi, Nouman Javaid & Sandesh Shandilya)
Toshi-Sharib’s Aaye re and Nazrein karam play out full and punchy – KK’s ever-dependable vocals belting out confident winners in, surprisingly, Lalit Sen style. Aish karle is catchy, with very...
