Kshitij Tarey has been the front runner singer in almost all the albums of Mithoon, a composer who has been loved by many of us. But I was surprised to see an unknown composer Gaurav Dagaonkar’s name on the album, and Mithoon wasn’t there even as a guest composer. Probably Kshitij wanted something different from [...]

I knew Madhushree as an A R Rahman favorite. Remember the name from Kabhi Neem Neem of Yuva, but she never sang too much, though keeping on registering her presence. And this time she does it again, gets her presence felt in her first (I guess) private album, Kuch Pal. The album starts with ‘Hero‘ [...]
Bande Mataram with John Abraham has Abraham reciting Tagore’s ‘Where the mind is without fear’ and I somehow liked the recitation. Probably because the poem is something that never fails to touch me. Isheeta’s Bande Mataram is good enough as there is not much experimentation done. Aao na is a good track and the voice [...]

So Venus comes up with an album for a newcomer. Something that is not so commonly seen. And that was what made me look for this one. Here is a review of Apoorv’s debut album, composed by Ricky Dev and Arbind Jha. The first song, Ek ladki hai shabnami jaisi has so very common lyrics [...]

Yashraj Music was launched with a movie which had Indo-Pak ties in its background, Veer Zaara. But now, a bit surprisingly, Yashraj Music actually gets their first private album by a singer from Pakistan, Ali Zafar. Yes, Ali’s third album, Jhoom is out on none other than our very own YRM. Well, after the small [...]
First vibration of sound hits my ear, and I know it’s Lucky Ali. And I’m Lucky to hear him sing. That’s how Xsuie starts. And Dil Gaaye Jaa. A very typical, very relaxing song from Lucky Ali that touches your heart, and sticks there. The best part is that you know that even though the [...]
Bandish might be a rock band but as they launch their album, they give out variety, some good and some not-so-good. But at the minimum, the album is worth a listen. Here is a review. The album starts with a KK sung tere bin which sounds very much like some composition of Pritam. The way [...]
Hum Yaadon ke Sang is the second album of Raeth, the band that is remembered for Bhula do. Their second also looks quite similar as the band still sounds Atif’ish, but not bad, and though they cannot say themselves totally fresh, they don’t sound too stale to listen to either. The album starts with title [...]
I didn’t have much hopes when I started listening to Akriti Kakkar’s debut album, Akriti. But then, I liked the first song I heard from the album. And liked some of the songs quite enough, so much so that I decided to keep some pending things there and first write about ‘Akriti’. The album opens [...]
Frankly, I don’t think I am good enough to review an album that consists of only Asha Bhosle, Roop Kumar Rathod and Hariharan only. So you may consider this one as just my opinion about the album. The album is composed by Sudeep Bannerjee and lyrics are written by Jai Shankar Mishra.
Sometimes simple is beautiful. Someone Somewhere’s Main jis se mila hoon/main jis se juda hoon is one such song. When I saw Amitabh Bhattacharya’s name in the credits, I thought there would be something good, but the first song disappointed me. Still, the second song, main jisse juda hoon, as it has been written in [...]

First things first. Mann chandre is one the very best songs of Rahman. Or at least that is what I personally felt. I don’t understand Punjabi very thoroughly but courtesy Yash Chopra, i know quite a few words of the language and that helped me a lot in understanding the song, as it’s completely in [...]
Gems are generally found in the deepest places, and so you miss them. Devika Chawla is probably such a gem. At least some of her songs are. Devika’s second album Saari Raat consists of some touching songs. Barkha Bahar aaye to start with. The album is called Sufi but I’d say it’s more a fusion [...]
When Adnan Sami came, he was a hit because he was new and fresh. Now Adnan Sami is lost because he is not new anymore and he is not bringing much new. Probably that’s the reason he keeps on doing small experiments and this time comes with the brother of deceased legendary Michael Jackson, Jermaine [...]
