Memorial Weekend Recos
I’ve recently discovered a good site for the latest Bollywood music and find myself listening to more Hindi albums these days. Mp3 ishtyle. Not that it makes any difference to the overall likeability of the songs, but atleast it’s better to download 6 songs in under a minute, than having to wait for Firefox to get over its “browser rage” everytime I try to load up a Real Audio stream. Being obsessed with Shreya Goshal, I try to listen to most of her songs and got to listen to a song from the film Revati called Mil Gayee Khwaabon Ki Manzil. The music by Jatin-Lalit (remember them?) is reminiscent of the Khamoshi sound in parts, and is overall passable. As usual, the music is nothing to write about, but Shreya’s voice makes the song immensely listenable. Atleast a couple of times.
Another Shreya song figures in the upcoming Shahrukh starrer called Paheli, that goes Dheere Jalna. The song has been reused (original goes Nadhira Dhinna) by MM Kreem from his Telugu album, Okkariki Okkaru, of course scored under his Telugu avatar - Keeravani. Which transitions into my next reco, the song, Nuvve Naa Swaasa, from the same Telugu movie. And while you’re there, also check out Velipothe Yela, a very Rahmanesque, but stylish composition sung by Maragreemavani himself.
