Music Review | Padmaavat (formerly: Padmavati) | Sanjay Leela Bhansali

By -
[1] While Padma n is heroic, Padma avat is majestic. Padma n is driven by story, Padma avat is driven by story-telling. Padma n has music, Padma avat IS music. The bar is set high by the director-music composer himself - Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Can he outdo himself? Let us find out! Music Release Date: 21st January 2018 Listen to the album on: Saavn Gaana YouTube Ghoomar Singers:  Shreya Ghoshal , Swaroop Khan Lyricist:   A. M. Turaz,   Swaroop Khan This song is meta . It talks about the Marvadi  dance form of ghoomar while being a ghoomar itself . This song has been out for a while now. The song paces up appropriately. I started to swing my head to the beats and ended up listening to this song for 45 minutes straight. During those 45 minutes, I enjoyed Rajasthani folk,  Shreya Ghoshal's intoxicating voice,  watching Deepika dance,  dancing to the beats myself(reminded me of Navratri)  and Swaroop Khan.  It is not ofte...

YouTube Discovery | Ep. 06 | Mahesh Raghvan - Indian Classical Versions

By -
Hello folks! After a long hiatus I am back with the 6th episode in the series of YouTube Discovery. To give a quick recap about my previous posts - in the 4th episode we had Tushar Lall (Indian Jam Project) discussing Indo-Western Fushion  with us. Following which Vidya Vox talked about her Mashup Covers in 5th episode. Indian music is so vast that everybody gets chance to create their own music. Continuing on the same thread, I'd like to talk about the technological advancements in the field of music. Technology has made musicians play end number of instruments with just one device. This reminds me of my Indian classical training days as a 10 year old kid. I had just finished learning taals and now had to learn raag geets which comprises of sur and taal which meant there had to be a harmonium and a tabla playing when I was singing. I didn't know either of those at that time and my teacher could play only one of those at a time. My 10 year old brain wondered if I would ever...

YouTube Discovery | Ep. 07 | Sarah T Drum Guru - Percussion Covers

By -
We are back after a long hiatus. Discovering new and unique music on YouTube has become a tough task off late. This episode of YouTube Discovery is special. In this episode we are going to talk about the Beats in the " Beats and Beyond". The reason why music without beats is just 'musical notes'. Beat How are beats created? Beats can be naturally created by clapping, snapping your fingers, tapping your feet, so on and so forth. Hands and feet are used to create beats whereas mouth is used to create musical notes. Use of hands and feet to create beats has it's limitations. To overcome these limitations, we have percussion instruments. A percussion instrument is a musical instrument that is sounded by being struck or scraped by a beater; struck, scraped or rubbed by hand; or struck against another similar instrument. The percussion section of an orchestra most commonly contains instruments such as timpani , snare drum , bass drum , cymbals , triangl...

Music Review | Half Girlfriend | Tanishk Bagchi, Mithoon, Farhan Saeed, Rahul Mishra, Ami Mishra, Rishi Rich

By -
After playing Chetan Bhagat in 2 States, Arjun Kapoor returns reprising one of his other characters from one of his novels. The purpose of the rest of the team (Shraddha Kapoor, the director and the music team) of this movie is to recreate the magic of Aashiqui 2. I would like to be proven wrong by the end of this review but only time will tell. So, without further ado, let's get right into it! Album Release Date: 28th April 2017 (Click on the song title to listen to it on Saavn) Baarish Music: Tanishk Bagchi Singers: Ash King, Shashaa Tirupati Lyrics: Arafat Mehmood, Tanishk Bagchi I was curious to know about all the hype surrounding this song on social media. Turns out internet opinions should not be taken on their face value. The singing is monotonic as is with lot of other songs by Ash King. Moreover, the singing is faintly similar to  Kaabil Hoon (Kaabil) . I really liked how the lyrics of the chorus have chaining effect. Other than that it is an o...
