1.You are My Love - DSP
DSP all the way,he composes and he sings it by himself and guess what the english lyrics are also written by himself and i could say he sounds pretty much same as we have heard since "andamaina bhamalu" in manmadhudu.This song is a peppy love number which goes pretty fast.I really dont know why these days much of english words are included in telugu songs .Is it because people are liking english lyrics or are lyricists short of telugu words ? dont know. There is a good use of techno drums and impressive digital mixing done which makes this song neat and audible.The way Devi says "Baby you R my Love,baby ur My darling,my feeling,my reason to Live !!!"is impressive.On a whole Devi should seriously consider of changing something in the way he sings or try considering giving the songs to some other singer,A decent song.Three stars from me !!!
2.Rekkalu - Sagar,Ranina
An authentic DSP number and you can very well make it out in the starting of the song when the high string veena musical bit sets the mood .This song is very catchy and you will end up humming the song soon after you hear it for the first time.Lyrics are ok again and the lyricist -bhaskarabhatla does a decent job not writing more complicatedwords.Its nice to see sagar again in the back of the CD ,remember his soothing number in arya(Nuvvante)?.This time around DSP tried sagar in a fast number than the regular slow songs in which we heard sagar till date and he sings it with good pronounciation,ranina a budding tamil singer does an OK job.DSP's chorus adds some value to the song.Melodious number and very easy to hum around.Three stars from me
3.Ammayilu Abbayilu - Franco,Andrea
There are at times when DSP goes a step beyond and makes some songs which are completely out of the telugu mood,i think this song is a perfect example of that.Sung by a malayali singer Franco whom we heard last time around in "Ayyo Ayyo Dhannaya" in "READY"and where thought he was much more better in that song.The female voice is given by a tamil singer/actress Andrea Jeremiah, and both of them sound decent enough.This time around ramajogayya sastry does not give us decent lyrics and again this time occupied by english sentences than words.The tune which reminds us some of the recent hindi songs is not impressive too..An average song and a simple Two from my side.
4.Current -Benny,DSP
This song is the fourth track in the album and i can say the best in the lot.Sung by Benny Dayal and DSP and lyrics by ramajogayya sastry again.This song is well written and even though there are plenty words of ENGLISH words written by ranina and divya, i personally thought those words were needed for the mood of the song.The song starts with an impressive music of Electric wires making a buzzing sound and DSP asking us what "CURRENT" is?The rest of the song answers us what "CURRENT" means !!! an awesome thought for a movie TITLE song :)
DSP shows his brilliance of what he can do with various intruments,there are pieces of guitar intro,veena,drums and the way he says
"Zarrumantu Volluantha paake feeling ye ra CURRENT".
Benny Dayal came a long way after his entry as a chorus singer in SIVAJI, and now singing atleast one song for AR Rehman in all his movies.I think the so called "REHMAN" training is taking him to a new level.Being a malayali by birth,he sounds good in those tough and fast telugu words and he is very impressive at his diction and iam sure we are going to hear from him more and more in future.A complete four for this number.Way to go devi,we need more of this from you !!!
5.Atu Nuvve Itu Nuvve -Neha Bhasin
Remember the VIVA group which channel "V" bought up few years back?I think few of us remember the band as they split up because of some differences.This is one way good for us as it gave us five awesome individual singers and one of them is NEHA BHASIN.I just feel amazed with the way this lady pronounces other languages words.For a girl who is born and brought up in delhi,its way too tough to understand what tamil/telugu songs are.She does a fabolous job in this song and the way she brings those extra feelings in the song are worth commending.Lyrics are good and they are just beatiful..An authentic DSP number and on the face of it we can easily know that the music director is DSP.It reminds of the some of the great soothing songs which DSP has given us in the films like sontham,anandam,kalusukovalani and Khadgam.With this song again ending in the album,DSP makes a point that he can even rocks in scoring good melodious songs.An out and out five frome me..
Over all,a decent album with three good songs and two average songs.Good mucic by DSP and awesome blend of budding singers.On a serious note, a change is needed in the way lyrics are written these days for telugu movies and iam sure you will also agree with me.There is only song in this movie without any english lyrics and that song simply stands out in all the songs in the album.That shows the importance of what lyrics are and why we need more sirivennala seetarama sastry in our telugu movies.If you like modern music and if you dont mind the usage of english words/sentences in telugu songs i would surely recommend this album to you and my picks are atu nuvve itu nuvve and CURRENT title song.
See you soon with one more review from me.
