Prem Joshua, the musical visionary

Born in a German musical family, he became an established flautist-cum-saxophonist at a very young age. A record playing a Ravi Shankar performance, combined with his search for spirituality, led him to India at the age of 18. To spend ...

Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya – Music Review (Bollywood Movie Soundtrack)

Posted by VIP

Atif Aslam is not my fav singer. In fact I hate his singing in many songs. Post his Jal days that is. But there have been occasions that I had to grudgingly admit to liking his singing. Piya O Re Piya is one such. Strong flavours of past songs, especially of the Pritam kind, but [...]

Aparajita Tumi – Music Review (Bengali Movie Soundtrack)

Posted by VIP

You can listen to the soundtrack here. The first three songs also have music videos featuring the artists, which you can watch by clicking on the song title. With a nursery rhyme-ish lilt about the tune and a piano-led unplugged arrangement from Shantanu Moitra that matches the simplicity of the song, Roopkathara is winner all the [...]

Jodi Breakers – Music Review

Posted by VIP

You can listen to the soundtrack here (link courtesy @iPeeKay) Mild flashback elements apart, Kunwara is a catchy dance-y piece that makes smart use of the shehnai wedding motif. The Kolaveri Di-inspired video featuring Salim Merchant on vocals has already been making its rounds on the web. Bipasha has a distinct “Pritam in Dhoom” flavour [...]

Screen Awards 2012 – Winners List

Posted by VIP

The 18th Screen Awards got announced some time back. And guess what, NO DABANGG! But seriously, this time the awards seem to have displayed a bit more fairness, though I did notice some absolutely outrageous ones. In the music category though, things were pretty much as expected – at least from the nomination list given. A [...]

Bengaluru Habba 2012 kicks off today! Events Schedule

Posted by VIP

If one were to ask me for my fav things about Bangalore, the first in the list would undoubtedly be its vibrant arts scene. And one of the loveliest and the most large scale showcases of the same, the Bengaluru Habba, kicks off its 9th edition today. From today to the 22nd of January various venues [...]

Kailasa – Rangeele: Music Review

Posted by VIP

You can listen to the album here. The title song provides a sparkling start to Rangeele, the highlight of course being Kailash Kher’s singing and the lyrics, the title hook especially lilting. The arrangement is primarily acoustic guitar with other elements like sax and flute and some other exotic-sounding touches in places. Tu Kya Jaane [...]

Unreleased track from Dewarists out for free download!

Posted by VIP

So apparently the wonderful music from Season 1 of the cult show called The Dewarists isn’t over yet. Episode 8 of the show had featured Midival Punditz collaborating with Humble The Poet and Monica Dogra in the fab ambience of Goan beaches to produce No I D Required. As it turns out, that was not [...]

Remember Shakti India tour of February – Schedule

Posted by VIP

It was some time in 2005 that I got first introduced to this song Giriraja Sutha (named Giriraj Sudha by the artists on their CD et al) by my good friend and partner at Music Aloud, Praveen VR. The song turned out to be a landmark song in my life for multiple reasons. That was probably [...]

Happy 46th, ARR!

Posted by VIP

46 years, since A S Dileep Kumar was born. And 20 years, since he changed the way we perceive film music, with that score for Mani Ratnam – a combo which subsequently gifted some out-of-the-world music to us. Anyone who follows ARR’s music would undoubtedly agree that the sound of ARR’s music has changed over [...]
