Annakodiyum Kodiveeranum (Music review), Tamil – GV Prakash Kumar

2013-02-09 13:18:00 (читать в оригинале)

Aavarangaatukulla has a pleasant tune, but rehashes the ghatam-based sparse folk sound once in vogue, kick-started by Rahman. Pothi vecha and Nariga uranga hold textures similar to Rahman’s Taj Mahal number Kulirudhu kulirudhu, but are wonderful compositions on their own, thanks to their thoroughly appealing tunes! The melancholy in Poraale and Anname sound anesthetic at best, while Kola vaala edungada is rustic religious-folk that is barely functional. Annakodiyum Kodiveeranum is a mixed bag – it does hold 3 listenable tracks but ends up leaving a nagging doubt if Bharathiraja wanted Rahman and opted for the clone, given how Rahman’ish they sound!

Jabardasth (Music review), Telugu – Thaman S

2013-02-09 13:18:00 (читать в оригинале)

Arere arere starts with a harmonious chorus just like a Pritam song, but soon Nithya Menon takes over the velvety melody – she’s clearly the star of this song! Shreya weaves her usual magic in the highly addictive and rhythmic Allah allah. Thaman picks up the multi-period musical idea from Vidyasagar’s Parthiban Kanavu number Buck buck, for Meghamala, but crafts it aptly with Telugu flavor! Thees maar khan has a lot of interesting sounds, but they don’t add up to an interesting song, while Lakshar pori goes overdose on techno-folk with no significant impact. Easy listening, frothy soundtrack from Thaman.

Swamy Ra Ra (Music review), Telugu – Sunny M.R.

2013-02-09 13:18:00 (читать в оригинале)

Krishnudi varasulantha is eclectic in its choice of music! It seems vaudevillian, but is bloody nuanced in the way it has been assembled – Arijit Singh pulls off a superb show with his faultless vocals! Adi enti okkasari too makes stupendous use of Arijit Singh’s whispery vocals amidst soft, wonderfully dreamy music mixing primarily guitar and violin – thoroughly addictive! Edu vaadu evado ledu goes ballistic with its country and rock sound, with Arijit again for the vocals – and he is mighty effective, third time in a row! The song’s reloaded version is a particularly powerful showcase of Sunny’s skills! Life ante is Shefali Alvares’ show all the way – she breezes through the bluesy melody wonderfully well, even as Sunny assembles an equally impressive arrangement to go with it. Yo yo yo memu antha does seem like it is mildly (only mildly) inspired by the overall sound of Yolanda Be Cool’s We No Speak Americano, but Sunny owns it in his unique way, together with Swathi and Nikhil’s vocals – highly engaging and catchy! After being a music producer/mix engineer for Bollywood and select Southern films, Sunny M.R. makes an outstanding, wow-worthy debut in Swamy Ra Ra!

Keywords: Sunny MR, Arijit Singh, Swamy Ra Ra, 200, #200

Note: I’m still not entirely sure about the singers used in this soundtrack – I haven’t been able to source the CD and heard it via Saregama’s official jukebox on Youtube and checked the singers on MIO. Arijit Singh is credited for 3 songs while he sounds different in each of these songs! The song with Swathi and Nikhil is publicised heavily in Telugu media, but I do not know if they had it in them to sing so well – or, if Sunny used his mixing skills to make them sound so well!

Zilla Ghaziabad (Music review), Hindi – Amjad Nadeem & Bappa Lahiri

2013-02-09 13:18:00 (читать в оригинале)

The title song by Sukhwinder Singh carries a whiff of Omkara’s title song, but is markedly more simplistic and masala’ish. Baap ka maal doesn’t deserve any comment whatsoever. Ditto – or even worse – for Bappa Lahiri guest (unwanted) composition, Chamiya No.1. But the composing duo of Amjad-Nadeem mildly surprise in Ranjha jogi and Tu hai rab – the former a Dabangg-style faux-folk melody and the latter, a passably pleasant melody spearheaded by Mohit Chauhan and mangled only by the annoying presence of Tulsi Kumar. At least these 2 songs are in line with the promise Amjad Nadeem showed in Angel!

Ongole Gitta (Music review), Telugu – G V Prakash Kumar & Manisharma

2013-02-09 13:18:00 (читать в оригинале)

Yerra mirapallo, despite Shankar Mahadevan’s spirited vocals, sounds utterly commonplace. GV Prakash Kumar gets behind the mike in Raa chilaka and his effortless singing does add value to the pleasant tune, with the backgrounds mixing almost world music’ish sounds with native rhythms. Pilla works even better, in Ranjith’s vocals and a catchy melody to go with it! Mama maraju, the folk pieces medley passes muster, while Mani Sharma’s lone track, Chal challe is non-descript Mani material, with a hook that can be predicted few seconds into the song! Predominantly trite effort by GVP for his first film with Bommarillu Bhaskar!
