Song Review: 'Baitikochi Chuste' (#PSPK25)
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,November 07 2017]
'Baitikochi Chuste' can give you a romantic high with its allusions to everything from a villainous 'gali' to coffee and more. Lyricist Sree Mani chips in with one too many English words and that's how a sense of zeitgeist is writ large on the number.
Sample these: 'Corner lo coffee shop vedi vedi ga whistle ese', 'jarinde nelapai needala', 'Nuvvunna kitiki ae vaipo vethiki WhatsApp chestava', among others, are evocative while being in the everyday language.
The acoustics are largely in the mould of Anirudh's songs. The guitar gives many reasons to root for the sound. The use of the piano is lyrical. Kamlakhar's flute midway through the song is a spectacular innovation.
Rendered to a lively effect by Anirudh himself, the song is a whiff of fresh air for those who are not used to the music director's songs.
