Endukante.. Premante is lively, as it packs songs of different genres. There is no tragedy though, which makes it completely fun to listen. Rama Jhogaya Sastry's are pleasingly clever but simple to understand, while Srimani chips in with a song too.
Daruvu is an album which progressively becomes familiar and unremarkable. Vijay Antony's music, when not inspired, is boisterous. If Bhaskarabhatla's lyrics are typically plain, the choice of vocals proves unwise in some cases. Suddala's song stands out for its poetic quality and purity though.
Gabbar Singh packs a bundle of musical notes for all sections of the audience. Complete with mass and class appeal, it is DSP at his one of career's best. Why, nobody knew how to score for Pawan Kalyan in recent years better than DSP. Though it falls below the standard of Jalsa, it stands good chances of becoming 2012's top hit.
Here is an album you cannot afford to ignore. MM Keeravani can pride himself as being one veteran who can reach out to the 21st century music lovers with his trademark music, that draws from the old and the new. Female voices are conspicuous by their absence while male voices (Vijay Prakash, Deepu, Rahul, Anuj Gurwara) are really noteworthy.
This album will be remembered for a mix of influences and working a throwback. It looks like the genres chosen by Keeravani were inspired by the story. As one listens to the album, one is convinced that it is the visuals that alone can redeem the music.
Rising up to the occasion is Chakri, the forgotten musician. He belts out one of his career's most interesting albums. Ably aided by a bevy of tones - from Shaan, Kunal, Adnan Sami, KK, Revanth to Geetha Madhuri and others, he delivers a blusterous album.
Ee Rojullo, coming as it does from a musical greenhorn, is an impressive album. From folksy to irreverent to romantic and tragic, it has got all. It is not high on Inventiveness. The very many singers (from Rahul to Malavika to Geetha Madhuri and Hemachandra) add flavour.
Complete with a mix of many genres, Lovely makes for a worthy collection of the romantic milieu. Anoop Rubens lives up to our expectations, delivering his career's most note-worthy. A bevy of clap-worthy vocals - Chaitra, Vijay Prakash, Benny Dayal, Ranjith, Anoop himself, Anjana Soumya, Aishwarya and Saindhavi make the treat total.
Racha is quite an unlikely album from Mani Sharma. He revs up the album with massy tunes, but does the big one live up to the hype? Not so much, especially if you compare the musician's previous work for Charan. All the same, this five-song album is enjoyable for its mix of folksy beats and a hummable song.
We do not know Balaji Mohan's style as yet, but it looks like he had the music on his terms. The music of Love Failure will be remembered because Thaman changes his tack in a big way. A far cry from his recent recordings, including Nippu, this one is positively frolicsome.
Selvaganesh brings forth an assortment of windy and quintessentially romantic numbers. Ably helped by Vanamali and Krishna Chaitanya, he makes the album of SMS a stylish musical synergy. This album is the one you should listen to in a gaily mood!
Poola Rangadu leaves us in a state of world-weariness. Except for the vocals, and the re-recording, this Anup Rubens album doesn't work at any other level. Lyrics by Chandrabose, Vanamali, Kandikonda and Ananth Sriram are just about ok.
Thaman keeps the momentum alive. After Businessman and Bodyguard, Nippu is a hat-trick with a couple of potential chartbusters. It is interesting to listen to his instrumentation and peppy interludes in song after song.
Mr. Nokia is a mix of genres and is characteristically Tamil music-meets-Telugu trend. Yuvan Shankar Raja offers a regular and passable fare. Coming as it does from the musician of Rangam and Panjaa, this cliched album leaves us wanting more.
The Businessman, it should be said at the outset, belies our expectations. Nevertheless, the six songs (including the theme song) are worth a listen for the thrum of energy passing through the numbers. Thaman doesn't give us a Champakamala or a Chulbuli.
Bodyguard is a mixed package of good and not-so-good numbers. Thankfully, the first category outnumbers the second category. Thaman enlists the able assistance of a range of entertaining singers - from Baba Sehgal, Rahul Nambiar, Karthik, Haricharan, Harini, Sri Vardhini, Geetha Madhuri and Ramya and comes out clean.
You could say MM Keeravani enriches the music of Rajanna with a melange of genres. From the folksy to the patriotic, rustic and soothing, Rajanna has gotten everything an avid music listener would appreciate as a wholesome treat.
Yuvan Shankar Raja strikes back with a bang. With three melodies, a hip hop, a club number and a folk song, Panjaa's audio is complete with the trappings of a wholesome musical 'dish'. Resplendent with the vocals of Shweta Pandit, Haricharan, Hemachandra, Belly Raj, Priya Himesh and Yuvan, the album is topped by breezy numbers and an enjoyable vociferant number to an unpretentious song as a trib
When it comes to albums from the Factory, they are of RGV and for RGV (because, if you don't like the songs/film, Varma sir is always there to tell you that he makes them for himself). Bejawada' five music directors act as ideological disciples of the producer.
Madhura Sridhar does it again by extracting a mix of melodious, wistful and hummable numbers from Sunil Kashyap. What makes the album of It's My Love Story a worthy one is its honest effort.
