Music Review | Raman Raghav 2.0 | Ram Sampath

By -
Warning! This album is dark, sick, creepy, disgusting and not at all recommended for faint hearted. Such kind of music is not everybody's cup of tea.  Anurag Kashyap movies have always had great music - be it Dev D or Gangs of Wasseypur. Both the movies had close to dozen songs and each one different from the other one. More than the music, what I was looking forward to in this album was Varun Grover's lyrics. Alright, without further ado, let's get into it and see if you are brave enough to handle it. Listen on Saavn Listen to Raman-Raghav-2.0-2016 on Saavn (Click on the song title to play it in YouTube) Qatl-E-Aam Lyrics: Varun Grover Singers: Sona Mohapatra, Yash Divecha BOOM!! That's the explosion in my head after listening to the song. It's a dubstep track and is trippy as fuck. Even though all the music is electronic, Sona Mohapatra's voice manages to keep it real and desi. The taal before the last verse by Yash Divecha *applause* Behood...

Music Review | TVF Humorously Yours (Web Series) | Vaibhav Bundhoo

By -
Last one and half years has seen a surge in web mini series. All of them targeting the ' t raditionally a verse t o t elevision' y outh ( t.a.t.t.y. ). So much has been the impact of these web series that even the mainstream players like YRF and MTV are creating content on YouTube. However, the most ingenious and the pioneer of web series have been The Viral Fever (TVF). They have really managed to match the wavelength of t.a.t.t.y. with all their web series. Apart from their amazing plot, TVF's content is also known for out-of-the-box soundtrack. I decided to start reviewing music for web series last week and was contemplating whether to start with my favorite one or the latest one (the struggle is real). To make my decision easy TVF launched the original soundtrack for their latest TVF Humoursly Yours .  I would've had done a Music Mention of my favourite music album among web series had TVF not released this one. But since it's officially released, this counts a...

Music Mention | Wrong Side Raju (Gujarati) | Sachin-Jigar

By -
If you are a gujju  or understand gujarati language, you can also check out my video review for the music album of Wrong Side Raju here: If not, read on! The page is all yours. Welcome back to another Music Mention post. My last post in this series on  Sairat (Marathi)  was quite popular among my readers. This time around we'll be talking about a gujarati movie. I've picked this movie for a couple of reasons: 1. Sachin-Jigar composition 2. Arijit Singh 3. Produced by Abhishek Jain who has directed some of my favourite gujarati movies like  Kevi Rite Jaish (How Will I Go)  and  Bey Yaar (Yo Pal!) 4. Produced by Anurag Kashyap 5. I am a gujju :P Let me reiterate it again. This is a special case of my music reviews. It is more of a music mention than a review. I liked something and I want others to be aware of it too. (that sounds like the social media culture of this generation of kids :P) (Click on the song title to play it in YouTube) S...

Music Review | Rock On 2 | Shankar Ehsaan Loy

By -
Back to back Shankar Ehsaan Loy reviews on this blog. Previous one being Mirzya . Despite this album being a sequel to one of the most loved albums, I am going to review it as any other album and not as a franchise. Looking forward to Shraddha Kapoor singing. Listen on Saavn: Listen to Rock-On-2-2016 on Saavn (Click on the song title to play it in YouTube) Jaago Singer: Farhan Akhtar, Siddharth Mahadevan Lyrics: Javed Akhtar Even though the song is about waking up and knowing your rights, that is not the purpose of this song in the album. This song doesn't want to 'wake you up'. Towards the end of the song if you started head banging (even if it means just in your mind) then the song was successful in making you feel of the kind of music you'd be encountering in this album. Farhan Akhtar is not a soft singer. He has a coarse and realistic voice and that's what I expected and got in this song. Same goes with the lyrics. They are neither melodic nor ...

Music Review Catch-Up | July-September 2017

By -
While I was scooping for missed music albums for this quarter, I realized that I have missed a lot of albums which otherwise I would have loved to review them individually. But the time that is lost is gone. Looking ahead we have 12 albums that I will be catching up reviews on in this post. A lot of you readers might not be aware about some of these movies, hence I have provided IMDb links to plot summary. So without further ado, let's get right into it! (Songs highlighted in  RED  are my picks from the each album. You can just listen to these and get the feel of entire album in case you are short on time or feel like you have better things to do in life than listen to music) (Click on the movie name to listen to the songs on Saavn) Lipstick Under My Burkha Music: Zebunnisa Bangash Plot Summary:  IMDb Jigi Jigi is a qawwali that talks about the desires of women. It has a unique blend of Arabic-style of music and brass band. The song is sung by the composer...
