'Jhoom Jhoom So Ja'. Wow and just Wow. How I wish Lata was at her peak to sing this. Haven't heard such a lovely melody in Hindi for ages.

thumburu: You may want to listen to this song. A lovely female solo. I am not sure of the raga. The second interlude indicates Kapi.

This is surely going to be in my playlist for a long time to come

RS,

Thanks for the link and the files. I am waiting for the stores to get it here.

Not sure how the Hindi public will receive it. The trend nowadays is more 'popish' and ofcourse all those loops, samples etc. And also the film is quite low key.

Anyways, I am not complaining. Enjoying all the songs. It has been a great 7 months till now and counting

Maybe I was wrong about Kapi. Is it Desh?

Another Hindi movie releasing? Divorce Dir. Ramanan. I think it was completed loooong back.

I really dont want to comment on the visuals - but in one word ' pathetic ' .

Uff Are Mirch is a nice melody , synth dominated , his own eternal music pieces mixed with familiar orchestration ..finally an enjoyable one !

Shekar Hai starts brilliantly and downgrades to average in teh middle of charanam ..otherwise the whistle is quite catchy !

Hariharan's and sadhana's melody need more listens ..it didnt exactly catch my attention , but neverthless melodious !



Batalda de prelude and the overall rockish element is quite unlike - raaja , until u observe the bass ..i wish the lyrics were more catchy and les s- trivial !Bass is quite like KRs ( if you had listened to jala deepam song from mercury pookal)

Finally there is a chal chal, a standard song which is good and nothing to complain ..

Overall , a non-disappointing album from raaja ..his 2009 run continues !

Thanks a Raja-zillion Rajasaranam. All songs are a gem. In loss of words to explain more.

listened to that "so jaa" lullaby..

thamizh paatta hindi-la dub pannina maadhiri oru feel..Raja fails to wear the Northie cap

Lullaby is Universal. I know many northindian friends who thinks that his 'Sumayee Akhiyon mein' from Sadma is one of the best lullabies they have heard ever. Will ask them about this song and let you know

r_f,

Maybe your mind is filled with Tamil I did not hear any South Indian tinge here. The words, the tune, everything reminds me of the olden day loris from Hindi films.
