If you are a musician submit your new music here.Here are the best songs released in India across languages and genres for the week ending    8th June 20251. Moko KahanComposers: Vidhya Gopal, Digvijay Singh Pariyar Vocals: Vidhya Gopal, Digvijay Singh Pariyar Lyrics: Kabir Language: HindiGenre: Contemporary-TumriMood: PacifyingThis is an example of some excellent musicians coming together and sticking to the nuanced beauty of classical music. Vidhya Gopal and Digvijay Singh Pariyar are not only excellent vocalists but also talented and committed songwriters/composers. Here a Kabir original song is taken and given an ornamentation in the form of a melody written by Vidhya and Digvijay. Isn't this the great union of two varied styles as Digvijay's Harmonium plays alongside Shivam Pant's acoustic guitar and Aditya Ahir's bass?Vidhya and Digvijay sing with such elan and poise, and the song's sthayi is enough to strip you of all pride, such is the power of music. The mild sound of the Dimdi by Akshay Jadhav adds that Ganjira-styled effect and I wondered if there is a Kalyan Thaat influence in the melody. Digvijay tells me that this is Raag Bhoopali-inspired composition. The Sargam and alaaps by Digvijay and the harmonium that follows are all gentle like a touch of a petal and Vidhya takes the turn to take us along this walk in the clouds. Kabir's poetic genius did deserve a tune like this I am thankful to such honest musicians who stay in the with all heart for the art.Shivam Pant's solo on the electric guitar is one stunning addition in the interlude and it is a stroke of genius by the production and arrangement team. It allows a music lover to celebrate the greatness of music from around the world, where no style i superior to another. The way Vidhya sings "ek pal ki hi talaash mein" with that exaggerated harkatein on "talaash" is magical, like saying that the quest (talaash) is ongoing. Akshay Dabhadkar is the keyboardist accompanying right through, just being gentle. The tracks are mixed and mastered by Varun Patil, and the recording engineer is Shashank Sekhar Sahu.@vidhyagopal_ @firstwav @daisykhatri9 @drumrollplease_ @shashank_s_sahu @digvijaysinghpariyarofficial @adityaahir @shivamflat5 @akshaymusic @varoonmarooned @akshay_dabhadkar 2. Bejaara Aanen Movie: Love Marriage Music Composed, Arranged and Produced by Sean Roldan Lyrics: Mohan Rajan Singer: Sivaangi Krishnakumar Language: TamilGenre: Light MusicMood: RomanticThe unstoppable melody train of Sean Roldan goes on without even a semblance of a hindrance. Here is the new single called 'Bejaara Aanen' from the movie 'Love Marriage'. As the title suggests, the song messes up hormones thanks to the melody, singing and stunning arrangements. The kids' chorus is one element that never goes wrong and V.Shivathmika, Sadhana Rangaraj, and K.Vidhyarupini sing the intro humming with such cuteness and charm. The keys and rhythm programming is such a belter that would straight away invoke our dance skills when we hear it. Ramkumar Kanakarajan is on rhythm production and Sabarai Bharathi Krishna aids in additional rhythm production. Sivaangi Krishnakumar is in prime form singing the lines with such granular ghamakas. Listen to the ravishing strings in the background performed by the Budapest Scoring Orchestra and arranged by one of our finest musicians Kalyani Nair. My favourite line is "Idhu enna puthu feelu, tharaiyil illa en kaalu, enakku ini illa veraalu" and that way the last phrase ends abruptly with a minute pause reminding me of Maestro Ilaiyaraja.The interlude once again has this chirpy kids' humming. The tone, and the rhythm production all remind me of AR Rahmans stunning song "Marudaani" from the album 'Sakkarakatti'. Ashwin Suresh plays the acoustic and nylon guitars. Mohan Rajan writes these very witty lines like "En lightu nee thane, Un shadow naan thane", Sivaangi goes on to charm her way through the stanza and the chord progression along with the constant strings in the background is a reminder of why Sean Roldan is easily one of our best composers. This melody especially in teh charanam reminds me of Maestro's brilliant number 'Nil Nil Nil Bathil Sol Sol Sol' from the album 'Paatu Padava'. I am teary-eyed with the string arrangements as we hear the anupallavi once again "kekkadha tune ellam en manadu paduthu". Thank you Sean and team for this song that brings a long-lasting smile. The recording engineers are Aswin George John at Sounds Right, Sabari Bharathi Krishna at Roldan Records and Lijesh Kumar at Vision Studios. The tracks are mixed and mastered by Aswin George John at Sounds Right. @rseanroldan @mohanrajan_lyrici @sonymusic_south

 If you are a musician submit your new music here.Here are the best songs released in India across languages and genres for the week ending    1st June 20251. Yen IthanaiComposed, Arranged and Produced by Nishad GVocals: VijaynarainLyrics: Rishi KLanguage: Genre: Classical FusionMood: PathosThis is the best track for me in Nishad G's new album "Life UNtil 23". I just released a full album review of the same and I find it to be an excellent collection of 6 genre-bending tracks. Nishad had composed, arranged and produced all the songs with this Classical fusion single topping the list. There are at least another 3 exquisite songs and that is why I strongly recommend the readers to stream it. Vijanyanarin soaks you in the melancholy as he fits the bill perfectly to deliver this classical Carnatic-styled song. The male humming in the intro leads the way and Vijaynarain takes off from there, with the humming acting like a gentle cradle that rocks us in this lullaby-like start. "Thuyare endhan vazhvin vedhamo" is heavy and Rishi K loads up on the pathos with some fine writing. Don't lose your hope yet, and that is what Nishad does by giving a booster shot with the interlude, as we get a flute solo, swaras delivered by Vijaynarain and a pumping play on percussion with Sumesh's Mridangam. This segment is where I was tempted to think that the melody takes us through Raag Madhuvanti/Dharmavathi. Nishad tells me that Raag Hemavathi was the inspiration here. The combined effect of excellent words, a fine melody and uplifting vocals come to life here in this line "edarkindha bedham, paalinul kallin kabadam". Prashanth Techno is generating enough style and zest in the background Keys and it spills over from Naveen Napier's basslines too. We get a whiff of Kaapi Ragam in the line "Irulinil Naan thedidum Oli", reminding us of that famous Vidyasagar "Alankuyil" from the album 'Parthiban Kanavu'. The Keys and bass guitars along with the Mridangam are delightfully fusing in the title line that follows this charanam. The Jugalbandhi that follows is a stunning display of vocal prowess and instrumentalists' calibre as well. Sreerag on flute and Prashanth on Keys bring on their A game, along with the Kanjira (by BS Purushotaman) and Mridangam. It is still not done as Nishad has planned for a grand climax. The strings section is majestic thanks to the Budapest Scoring Orchestra and what we get is pure bliss in the outro. Like Nishad says he was impressed and determined to give music enthusiasts his version of legendary songs like Maestro Ilaiyaraaja's "Azhagu Malarada" and AR Rahman's "Minsara Poove". Well, Nishad delivers it. I will go ahead confidently say that Vijaynarain delivers one of his best performances of his career and kudos to Nishad for giving a song that this fine vocalist deserves. @rudranym @theindoencers @prashanthtechno @theindianchoralensemble @bspurushotham @flutesreerag @vijaynarain @napier_naveen 2. Kanavellam    Music Composed, Arranged and Produced by Amrit Ramnath Lyrics by Sri Ganesh Sung by Ananthu, Kalyani Nair, Uthara Unnikrishnan, Amrit Ramnath Choir Performed by The Indian Choral Ensemble (Chamber) Language: TamilGenre: Light MusicMood: Happy/EmotionalAmrit Ramnath made a fantastic debut in the movie space as the composer of the Malayalam album "Varshangalkku Shesham". Ever since I have been waiting for his Tamil debut and here is the first single. Amrit looks like a composer determined to stick with his style and avoid any external trending influences. This is what excites me most about this young talented musician. The first single in the album '3BHK' is performed by two brilliant vocalists viz. Ananthu and Kalyani Nair. Heavily underused powerhouse performers get a chance here in this song composed, arranged and produced by Amrit.Keba Jeremiah plays the Charango, a Latin American guitar-like instrument that automatically induces chirpiness in the intro of the song. The ethereal performers at The Indian Choral Ensemble perform with such poise and it gives a dreamy texture to this song which is ultimately about a happy family. Sri Ganesh is the lyricist and he writes these excellent lines, about the need for a home when it comes a family, with "Azhagana kuyil naalum onnaga vaazhum, thisaiyellam paranthalum koodonnu venum" The lead vocalists are now accompanied by Amrit as well. Amrit writes these elaborate interludes and that is so endearing to hear. The performers in the choral ensemble are Kalyani and Aparna Harikumar as Sopranos, Sivaranjini Chandramouli, and Nayansee Sharma as Altos. We hear the strains of Raag Maand when we hear the line "Kangalum Sumakkume Kanavugal". The song shatters your heart and I cannot stop crying when I hear the incredibly melodious line " Oru Naal Maarume, Tunbam theerume". I want to hug Amrit just for this line. Well done brother. The combined effect of Ananthu, Kalyani, Amrit and Uthara Unnikrishnan singing the line is mesmerising and it fills us with hope thanks to the lyrics as well that talk about hoping for a better future.The percussions are played by Krishna Kishore and the faint string section arrangements in the background help create more emotional connectivi

If you are a musician submit your new music here.Here are the best songs released in India across languages and genres for the week ending    25th May 20251. Diya Diya Composed, Arranged and Produced by Nivas K Prasanna Singer: Sid Sriram & Nivas K Prasanna Lyrics: Karthik Netha Language: TamilGenre: Light Music/PopMood: RomanticThis is the second song from the album "Bun Butter Jam", that I am featuring here, so it is some fabulous work by a composer I like Nivas K Prasanna. He is one shining light and a hope for the future of Kollywood. This song is composed, arranged and produced by him and he gets Sid Sriram to deliver the lead vocals. Navin Iyer makes it a ravishing intro on his flute solo with the riffs on guitars by Keba Jeremiah. It immediately takes us to the era of AR Rahman and Harris Jeyaraj of 2000s. It makes me think of this one song in particular, 'ENnamo ENnamo pidichirukku' from 'Saamy'. Sid sings in the lower vocal registers and he does quite well in this Baritonish husk. There are probably shades of Abheri Ragam. Karthik Netha writes these very heartwarming romantic lines " Thanneeril vishum mazhaiyay, ennodu neeyum  inaindhai". When I hear this I am also tempted to recall this other beautiful song "Unna Partha Pinbu Naan" from the album 'Kadhal Mannan'. Things get fiery with Nivas singing the main title line "Diya Diya Oh Aarathiya" and we get some stunning basslines by John Praveen. KA SuryaHari does all the additional programming and he amps up with some fine rhythms. The interlude is in blitzkrieg mode as the electric violin solo by Ananthakrishnan goes head-on with Navin's flute. It is a very enjoyable segment of the song and this is where Nivas shines, telling us that he came to write these extended melodies with interludes like the songs of 2 decades ago. The stanza is just another fantastic movement of the melody with Sid Nivas and Karthik combining to give us lines like "Or ilai mel, peroli pol, nee vizhundhai, naan vidinthen" and "Maayavizhi Kattum Vazhi, Poguthadi kaathal Nadhi Vaa". The latter is just a mesmerising play of notes. The music supervisor is Alex Samuel Jenito, the tracks are mixed and mastered by Hevin Booster. KS Maniratnam is the recording engineer at The Mystic Rooms.@nivas.k.prasanna @k.a.surya_srihari @hevinbooster @sidsriram @karthiknetha_official @mani_the_rathnam @kebajer 2. DholaaVocals: Mame Khan, Anand BhaskarLyrics Ginny DiwanProduced by Ajay JayanthiLanguage: HindiGenre: Folk-Rock fusionMood: EnergeticA band whose music I have loved right from the day I started my music journey of music journalism, is Anand Bhaskar Collective. They haev everything one can dream of, a fabulous front man in Anand Bhaskar, some gifted instrumentalists/producers in Ajay jayanthi and Hrishi Giridhar, a stylish bassist in Neelkanth Patel and an energetic drummer in Shishir Tao. This song is a delightful fusion of folk music and mesmerising pop-rock making the listener land up in seventh heaven.Once we head towards the chorus segment after Mame Khan and Anand collectively deliver the lines "Too naa jaa", the keys and synths just flow. We have Ajay Banerjee on the Piano and Ginny Diwan writing the lyrics. The guitars and drums create a wave that will submerge you thanks to Hrishi's sizzling electric guitars. Ajay intervenes with a solo Violin performance in the interlude. This segment has a fine melody written for the violin, and Ajay is accompanied by some snazzy basslines featuring Neelkanth, in the verse that follows Mame Khan touches your heart with the rawness of his tone and elegance in his delivery.Shishir and Ajay never engage to take any attention away from the lead vocals as they play mildly in the background. The harkatein by Mame is endearing and we surrender to this man's voice in lines like "Nainon mein hai khaare, peed too jo daare". If you pay attention, just before the bridge section, Neelkanth is oozing style on bass. The calmness that follows is where a brief melody on the Piano lets you breathe and soak in the song's beauty. Ajay and Hrishi know how to end things as they take turns and play the affable little melody. The tracks are mixed and mastered by Keshav Dhar. The video is directed and edited by Smritim Dutta. @bhaskarville @mame_khan @ginny.diwan @ajayjayanthi @hrishigiridhar @thesingingbassist @shishirtao @ajbane98 @keshavdhar @smritimdutta @vedikachauhan @sharkandink3. Chal Chhod Na YaarSingers - Siddharth Mahadevan, Varun Jain & Shashwat Singh 

If you are a musician submit your new music here.Here are the best songs released in India across languages and genres for the week ending    18th May 20251. Still Here Featuring Artist: Katya Krishnan Written & Performed: Dino James Producer: Bluish Music Language: Hindi/EnglishGenre: Hip HopMood: EnergeticI loved this album 'Priceless' by Dino James as he collaborates with some fine artists, and producers and gives a relevant, engaging, and heartfelt Hip-Hop album. This genre and space is always something that is used for some poor writers, who focus on money, luxury brand names, violence, shooting, sex and inappropriate content. So I will appreciate Dino for achieving what most Hip-Hop artists have failed to do - inspire and impact with good intent. A few songs are so amazingly written as Dino writes and performs all the songs in the album. His words of love thinking of his mother are the ones that touched me the most. This is my favourite track from the album. Katya Krishnan is one vocalist who I adore and she gets right on the job singing 'I'm still Here' in the intro. She stuns you like the sting of a serpent and you freeze, all you can do is listen to her breathtaking voice. The drums and rhythms come on board and I love the use of the saxophone, not just in this track but across most of the album. Harsh Bhavsar turns on the heat playing the Sax and one must stand up in appreciation for the way Bluish Music has created this stunning sound design through his music production. Just listen to the creative, colourful yet meaningful words as Dino performs "Yeh kamzor dil ke gaane nahi hain — I’m writing for the brave. Aur chaandi ke chamach waalon se karte nahi relate. Yeh mehendi aur tattoo ka farq hai — honge nahi hum fade.You will also know a lot about a talented artist when the rapper moves across topics, and world affairs to convey his point like this one here "Important khudko maante nahi — hum jhukne se nahi darte. Hum Sachin jaise chal dete, bhale sound na aaye nick mein". Dino continues to impress me even more as he captivates the listeners thoughts, wits and emotions with lines like " Velankanni, Durga — meri mother bohot hai. You sure you wanna fight, bro? Unka dakhal bohot hai. Pair lamba karke sote — ghar pe chaddar bohot hai. Aur main CID mein tha — sabki yahaan khabar bohot hai". The gospel-like harmonies, along with the Saxophone interventions and Katya singing her line are all coming along organically together in the outro. Abhishek Ghatak has quite a few elements and tracks to mix and he does that seamlessly, thanks to his mixing and mastering duties. @katyakrishnan @harshb.sax @bluishmusicoffiical @t._.vedant @theghatak 2. Soz e DilComposed & Performed by Yawar Abdal Written by: Shiekh ul Alam(RA) & Yawar Abdal Produced by: Lakshay Sharma, Akash Gupta Backing Vocals: Shubhra Agnihotri Language: KashmiriGenre: Folk-Rock/BalladMood: Mild PathosYawar Abdal is an artist who makes everything about his music soulful. The divinity in his voice is matched by the earnestness in his composition and here we get both in generous amounts. The melody composed by Yawar does possess strains of Khamaj Thaat and possibly Raag Rageshree. Ivaan Khaan starts with his striking solo on the Sarangi, and this is an intro which demands you to start focusing on what you are about to hear. The melancholy brought about here is immense with immediate effect. Lakshay Sharma and Akash Gupta handle all the arrangements and music production. The guitars start flowing gently, with Lakshay playing it and there you have Yawar mollycoddling us like a mother to her child. Akash Gupta plays the percussions and drums to give the song a gentle push forward. The electric guitar intervention is by Lakshay and adds a mild rock flavour to this fusion of styles. The electric guitar in the intro is played by Om Hulawale. The verse that follows this interlude is beautifully written like most of the song, but we get Hindi lyrics here that go "Iss haal mein kab tak jiyun Mein betaab, bebas mai bechain hun Ye aalam jala dun ijaazat jo ho Ye andhar hi andhar mai kab tak jaloon". This verse is not just profound in writing but also seeps into our system as a very hummable progression of chords. Shubhra Agnihotri can be heard in the backing vocals performing the humming. The Rock infusion is almost complete now with Kartik Singh on bass, and as the electric guitars and drums engage. Akash and Lakshay are also involved in the programming of synths, strings, and horns. I love that Ivaan continuously plays the Sarangi in the background, freely expressing his inner fire as a musician. Towards the outro, Yawar explodes with his energy on vocals along with the drums and guitars. The calm after the storm arrives at the very end, but the mind cannot stop thinking of the storm. Lakshay Sharma mixed and mastered the tracks. Xulkarnain Dev did the artwork, Harry Thakur handled the animation, and Taha Firdous Shah translated the lyric

If you are a musician submit your new music here.Here are the best songs released in India across languages and genres for the week ending    4th May 20251. MinnalvalaMusic composed, arranged and produced by Jakes BejoyLyrics: Kaithapram DamodaranSingers: Sid Sriram, Sithara KrishnakumarLanguage: MalayalamGenre: Ligh Music/PopMood: RomanticThrough this song, I learned about a new instrument. We all probably have heard this instrument whenever there is a reference to Chinese folk music. It is the Erhu, a bowed instrument with two strings. There probably isn't any reference to China, but it still is creative of Jake to employ this instrument in the intro. It does sound like the Kottankuchi, used in Tamil folk music. Krishna Kishor makes the thumping rhythms sound catchy. Haruyo Kimura plays the Erhu. It probably has been a while since I heard Sid Sriram singing Malayalam, and he does a good job in this romantic single from 'Narivetta'. Naveen Napier is the bassist and we get a full exhibition of Jakes's arrangements and production through the song. I love the sound of the Kanjira playing mildly along with Kiran's flute solo in the background. Akhil Chand accompanies Sid on backing vocals giving a nice second layer of vocals. The strings section in the interludes is played by the Budapest Scoring Orchestra. The lyrics are penned by Kaithapram Damodaran. Sid continues to sound fantastic in the stanza as he goes about delivering the high-pitched lines with ease like "Raavil Ninte Poomukam Kandu". The highlight reel is when the exquisite Sithara delivers her line"Nammallo Theerathe Olangal Theeratha Daahathin Thaalanagal" with a mild vibrato at the end. Jakes must be complimented for writing a fine melody here especially, the stanza. The landing notes to join the song's Pallavi is a fantastic union of both these lead vocalists in "Paarithil Naa Poyidaam, Vin Nadhi Pol Ozhukidaam". The tracks are mixed and mastered by Midhun Anand and the sound engineers are Midhun, Unmesh Unnikrishnan, Amal Mithu, Abin Ponnachan, Vishnu Shankar and Arnav Sharma@jakes_bejoy @tovinothomas @kaithapram_d @sidsriram @sitharakrishnakumar @priyamvadakrishnan @midhunanand_official @napier_naveen @kishorbeatz2. SaathiVocals: Monali ThakurLyrics: Kausar MunirComposition, additional arrangements: Rohan RohanArranged and Produced: Avi LoharLanguage: HindiGenre: Light Music/ Semi classicalMood: Mild PathosVjay Tambe's flute solo makes the intro sound calming, and the melody contains fragments of Raag Brindavan Sarang. Monali Thakur calmly takes the lead vocals in this beautiful melody composed by the dynamic duo Rohan and Rohan. Kausar Munir penned the lyrics, and we hear this song from a historically important movie album called Phule. The flute interventions are constant and carry a lot of significance. The Keys start making an impact but the true grounded and rooted impact comes when the percussions start hitting. Avi Lohar is credited with all the amazing arrangements and music production with Rohan Pradhan and Rohan Gokhale handling additional arrangements. The melody written for the flute is excellent and the execution is equally impressive in the interlude. Monali's delivery becomes so beautiful as she reaches out to the higher-pitched notes, getting some 'Harkaetin' also executed with grace and style. Listen to the "Saathi Saathi" phrase at the end of the stanza for example. The arrangements become delightful with the strings section and the Sitar also accompanying. We don't have too many songs these days with two antara pieces and that is why this composition and overall song stands out. I wish Monali Thakur performed so much more. The tracks are mixed and mastered by Aftab Khan. @rohanpradhan_official @rohanrohanofficial @rohangokhaleofficial @phulethefilm @kingsmen.productions @kausarmunir @monalithakur03 @anuyachauhankudecha @ananthmahadevanofficial @patralekhaa @pratikgandhiofficial @radiasunita @aparna_shahstylist @mixedbyaftab3.

If you are a musician submit your new music here.Here are the best songs released in India across languages and genres for the week ending    4th May 20251. Edharkaga MarupadiSinger: Punya Selva Composed, arranged and produced by Santhosh Narayanan Lyricist: VivekLanguage: TamilGenre: BalladMood: PathosWhen the teaser was released, there was this one moment as Pooja Hegde and Suriya sit on the banks of a river and the latter promises a life of peace and happiness. Pooja agrees to marry him and a solo violin comes along like oxygen breathing life into a moment already full of life, making this moment eternal and ethereal. Not many in the world can be even mentioned in the same sentence as Maestro Ilaiyaraja me, but this solo violin piece composed by Santhosh Narayanan and played by Manoj is heavenly and maybe even Ilaiyaraja would nod his head to that in approval. The melody somehow reminds me of Maestro's "Thalaatu Maari Ponadhey" from the album "Unnai Naan Sandithen'The solo piece now has a song and ever since many like me heard this, we are all enamoured by the composition and the vocals by a new artist Punya Selva. The Piano and the upright bass add some more flavour to the song's existing melancholy. This whole melody that lasts 30 seconds feels like a lifetime. Punya Selva delivers the melody with such perfect restraint, and sadness bordering on desperation. The magic continues with that amazing line "Amaidhi adaintha kadalil puyalum varudha, avanin ninaivu, valiyil padaitha virudha, theelaga naal marudha" with that sensational set of notes written and equally well executed by Punya in the end. Kudos to Vivek for writing the intense and loaded lines, and this is where I feel Tamil lyricists have truly resuscitated something that was facing morbid times in the earlier decade.  The interlude is once again the same Violin melody but accompanied now by a strings section and Piano. The strings section is written by Karthik Manickavasagam. I sense a small lag between the solo violin and the background strings, but is it intended because the lovers' hearts skip a beat when they see each other The woodwinds just before the beginning of the first stanza are calming and when Punya starts her line, the flowy Pianos play alongside "Neeketta Punnagai", as if the notes are like Suriya's smile, incessant and elevating. Punya is flawless in delivering every minute emotion while singing the lines, on top of giving a remarkable tone and texture to the melody. The pathos builds on further in the second interlude with that soulful heart-wrenching humming by Ananthu and once that ends Santhosh throws a new surprise with a completely different stanza. He not only goes all guns blazing in his whacky creativity but also goes the distance in giving music lovers something fresh, heartfelt and everlasting like this song. The second stanza has a different mood, like a recovery from all of the protagonist's sadness and that is what I feel when I hear "Kadhal alayil oru nadhiyena aadi magizhden, nyana karaiyil , vandhu ezhunthaval eeram thurandhu vitten" thanks to Vivek's in-sync lyrics as well. Punya, in her ability to deliver the tough notes, Vivek in his immersive writing and Santhosh in his desire and gifted abilities to write these notes all come together beautifully in "En thadagame, En Kalabame, En Vivadhame, Un Vilasame". The song in its overall tone reminds me of "Kannamma" from 'Kaala'. @musicsanthosh @punyasworld @lyricist_vivek @manojviolinist2. NeendSongwriters: Aman Moroney, Shaurya Saxena, Mihir Thatte Produced & Arranged by Aman Moroney Language: HindiGenre: Semi-classical Pop fusionMood: UpliftingAman Moroney is one fabulous mentor and producer who I have featured more than a few times and he takes one more step further, as he composes and writes this song along with Shaurya Saxena and Mihir Thatte. The lead vocals are by Shaurya while Aman handles the majestic-sounding arrangements and production. The melody probably has some strains of Khamaaj Thaat and we feel it slowly entering our system.The keys and synths are handles by AMan and when Shaurya sings " Neend mujhe kyun kyun nahi, aati nahi", the helplessness of the protagonist can be felt. Shaurya starts slow and stead and lets you in on a few showy flashes of brilliance as he produces excellent harkatein on the phrase "aati nahi". We also get a glimpse of the violin, played by Aman. He pulls you deep as the mind gets captivated by the sound of the violin, like falling into an abyss of insomnia. A shift of moods happens now with the electric guitar and the introduction of the Tabla in the second verse. Vaibhav Duratkar plays the Tabla and Aman plays the guitars. Are you entertained when Shaurya sings " Jaise bechaini ki leher hai" with that beautiful vibrato in the end? Hardik Verma is exceptional in this classical-sounding solo on the Sitar and maybe there were traces of Raag Baageshree here. Shaurya is in prime form in the high-pitched lines singing " Na sune hain koye manwa ki baat, suna mann ka angna". I am left with a few tears as Shaurya ends singing " dhoop tu, chhav bhi sajnaa". This is a fantastic song which brings together excellent vocals, songwriting and music production skills together. Aman Moroney does the mixing and mastering and the recording engineers are Soumya Saksham and Aman. 

If you are a musician submit your new music here.Here are the best songs released in India across languages and genres for the week ending    27th April 20251. SaadhoVocals, Composition: Pavithra Chari Arrangements, Production: The Anirudh Varma CollectiveLyrics: Kabir DasLanguage: TraditionalGenre: Classical FusionMood: InspiringThe brilliance of The Anirudh Varma Collective continues and with a song almost every week being featured for the last few weeks here is one more mindblowing fusion track from 'Sabr' the album. The melody has Raag Bhairavi (Sindhubhairavi in Carnatic) written all over and the intro begins with Soumitra Thakur's Sitar solo, along with Madhur Chaudhary's bass guitars and Suyash Gabriel's drums. Pavithra Chari comes and just establishes her presence with her classically emboldened vocals. The harkatein that she delivers is generous and graceful. Pavithra has composed the melody and the arrangements are by The Anirudh Varma Collective. Shrikant Bishwakarma can be heard playing the zappy electric guitars, and slowly the arrangements get thick and heavy. Varun Rajashekharan plays the unmistakable Ghatam, but the heart feels heavy with the notes on the Sitar. Things get very interesting when we have Rohan Prasanna join in with his Sarod solo and the tete-a-tete is a music lover's haven. Pavithra takes us on a ride into the gates of paradise with her amazing vocals and Anirudh makes every segment feel thrilling and blissful with his arrangements and production. Just stop doing what you are up to and surrender to Pavithra's aalap, along with the harmonies and instrumental arrangements that glorify the outro. The tracks are recorded by Jonty Indra with Anirudh's mixing and Shawn Hatfield on mastering. @rohanprasanna @suyashgabriel @soumitra_thakur @strings_of_karma @basskarmadhur @aamibangali @anirudhvarmaofficial @pavithra.chari @vroonr2. NizhalConceived, Composed and Sung by Job KurianLyrics: Engandiyoor Chandrasekharan Arrangement & Guitars: Rony George Language: MalayalamGenre: Pop-BalladMood: PathosJob Kurian is one man who gets the job done every time. His conceptualization of a song is where he strikes the first blow and a hard, good one. This called 'Nizhal' is a splendid song that will grow on you and follow you like a Nizhal (shadow). We hear the very mild Piano by JOb and the Strings played by Krishnakumar, arranged by Varkey. The lyrics are by Engandiyoor Chandrasekharan, and they are used to create some haunting mesmerism with the help of a melody written and performed by Job Kurian. Rony Goerge plays the acoustic guitars and handles all the arrangements. My favourite line is "Hey nizhal aatam kaanam tharaaro" with the high-pitched vocals and the strings section in the background. He touches your heart and makes a deep impression with the way he lands his notes, filled with passion and emotion. Ananthu Nirmal brings on the rhythm and groove when the verse begins again, and Binoy Rethnakaran (ret) brings on the funk with his bass guitars. The mind attains a sense of calm when Job sings, giving those gentle heartfelt vibratos. This line makes me weep with a deep sense of love for all things around me " azhakaay alivaay niramaay varoo, nirayaan uyeraan pon tharamaay"We assume we have heard the best parts of the song, and that is when this interlude comes about with a strikingly inspiring choral ensemble arranged by Evugin Emmanuel. The performers here are Vinesh, Joel G Bensiar, Sreejith Beard, Eguvin, Krithi Sounder, Riya Ann, Vineetha Jude and Aleena. Rex Vijayan is the mastermind behind the fantastic mixing and mastering of the tracks. @jobkuriank @varkeyhere @sravan.krishnakumar @evugin.emmanuel @vinesh_dharan @engandiyoor_chandhrashekaran @vineetha_m._jude @sreejiththebeard @ananthunirmal @the_r.e.t @rex_vijayan @nirvanaahhh @joel_gabriel_bensiar @_.krithisoundar._ @athira_job3.

THE ONE Lyrics: Vivek Singers: Sid Sriram, Santhosh Narayanan RAP: SVDP Composed / Arranged / Programmed by Santhosh Narayanan Language: TamilGenre: Hip-HopMood: EnergeticI trust one composer in India today when it comes to delivering a massive hero-elevation song. He goes by the name Santhosh Narayanan. Everyone else is either mimicking something from the West or Middle East or making things just boisterous. There isn't a genre that Santhosh cannot create, and this recent track from the upcoming movie 'Retro' proves once again that SaNa is the go-to guy. His ability to create the perfect energy, blend styles and have a nice melody at the core all work in Santhohs' favour. I have looked at so many such hero-elevation numbers in 2024 and 2025 and have enough to talk about in a separate IG video soon. The bottom line is that nobody is close to achieving what Santhosh does. He goes all out in this with Sid Sriram to deliver the Tamil lines and SVDP to instill madness at break-neck speed. SVDP responds to the call of Santhosh and gives something to the audience as juicy, reverberating and pulsating as 'Neeye Oli' from the album "Sarpattai Parambarai". The Brass instruments make a killer start right at the intro.Sid Sriram's high-pitched vocals with minimal production, and slowly some more elements come in like the percussions, and backing vocals, reminding us of another blinder by Santhosh called 'Kanda Vara Sollunga' from the album "Karnan". Vivek pours his heart out with his inspiring writing like "Natchathiram Onnu Theriyuthamma, Ninna edam pathi eriyuthamma". Mahalakshmi, Ananthu and Victor join on the energetic backing vocals here. I also love how Sid is made to sing in the Thoothukudi dialect, just like Surya in the movie. Karthik Manickavasakam does all the additional programming with additional electronic elements done by 808Krshna.An unforgettable highlight is the choral humming which was already released in the very first announcement vice of 'RETRO" many months ago. This magnificent piece is performed by the amazing vocalists of The Indian Choral Ensemble, and conducted and recorded by Karthik. SVDP performs with such stylish animosity that you want to simply stop doing everything and just float in the air along with him. The accompanying Keys, Synths and rhythms are anything but magical as Santhos, composes, arranges and programs this masterpiece. I pray and hope that the whole track is picturized in the movie and that it is not just a rolling credits piece in the end. The way Santhosh introduces another segment here that is filled with passionate writing by Vivek and singing by Sid is phenomenal. A mistake many composers do is to keep the loud music, and rhythms go on forever without injecting any pauses and breathers. See how the lines "Neeyum dhooram poga nenjam punna kidandhen, Unn padham pogum padha vazhi manna kidandhen, Kaalam kaalam thaandi uyir oora kidandhen, Raasa raasavandhaan, Ulagellam Adanchen Yele". The lead vocals, choral ensemble, percussions, and brass section all combine to make this nerve-racking in a good way. The fitting outro is the TICE performing the humming and the closing statements by the braa section. The choir consists of Aparna Harikumar, Alisha Mathew Thayil, Sushmita Narasimhan, Nidhi Saraogi, Vani Nandhini, Rutuja Pande, Shwetha Sugathan, Yazhini, Samanvitha Sasidaran, Amritha Rajesh Chelat, Nayansee Sharma, Geethu Nirmala, Fathima Henna, Megha Salila, Shruthi Parthasarathy, Shri Bhadra, Varsha R Mallya, Ananya A, Pavithra Chari, Kaaviya S, Akash V H, Sudarshan HemaRam, Keshav Vinod, Shivsundar R, Shridhar Ramesh, Manoj Krishna, Shibi Srinivas, Dhiyanathiru, Nikhilchandran D S, Arshith Kurian, Chirag Shetty, Manikandan Chembai, Joseph George, Ebenezer, Regis Tony, Shyam Krishna, Prashanth Mohanasundaram, Cyril Solomon, Neeraj Selvaganapathy and Soloman Ravindar. Santhosh and Karthik are the recording engineers, with the former also doing the mixing and Rupendar Venkatesh handling all the additional mixing and Mastering. The additional chorus is by Karthik Manickavasakam, Shridhar Ramesh, Manikandan Chembai, Shivsundar R, Chirag Shetty and Shravan Narayan. Meenakshi Santhosh handles the music management department with Studio Assistant Jabaraj. 2. Dey Singer: Zeba Tommy Lyricist: Yugabharathi Composer: Govind VasanthaLanguage: TamilGenre: JazzMood: GroovyHe is one man the music world can trust to create fresh, original and authentic music belonging to any genre. Govind Vasantha, take a bow for never letting the world of IG Reels corrupt your output. I enjoyed this album 'Gentlewoman' and this probably was the best single, not only for its whacky Jazz and Cabaret style of music but also for Zeba Tommy's bravado on vocals. We get the hi-hat drums and the upright bass in the intro and the feather-touch Pianos, almost making me feel like I am sitting in a bar in New Orleans. Yughabharathi writes the lyrics. Zeba is on fire and this is a singing masterclass for anyone wanting inspiration to become a playback singer. Govind must also be appreciated for assigning Zeba for the job and she pays him back with more than the deserved dividends. "murukku Meesa, thimira partha, bayantha poven sollu? Azhukka pesi , alayum unna , adichhen kolven" she sings with such playful improvisations and vibrato strewn all over.

Kya Tera Kya MeraMusic Composed and Produced by Shivansh JindalSingers: Shivansh Jindal & Aasa SinghLyrics: Shivansh JindalLanguage: HindiGenre: Semi-Classical PopMood: RomanticShivansh Jindal has impressed me since 2020-21 as a young lad making excellent Tumri/semi-classical-styled pop fusion music. When he is taken under the wings of musicians like Salim and Sulaiman you expect nothing less than consistent progress. Here is the best song composed by Shivansh yet, according to me, and it is not the tantalising melody but the elaborate production and the gorgeous vocals that make it worthwhile. The song is from an upcoming album I hear the mild slide guitar as two fantastic singers, Shivansh and Aasa Singh, exchange lines in this beautiful song that embraces same-sex love. Shivansh produces and arranges every sound, and he has gone the keyboard programming way rather than live instrumentals. Either way, the creation is awesome. The Piano and acoustic guitars too come along but the magnificence comes from their vocal tones, emoting love and tenderness. I love the chorus segment and when the Tabla, and bass guitars combine it is pure magic. The two singers compete for dominance in such a healthy fashion with their aalaps and ghamakas. The Sitar interferes in great style during the verse. "Pyaar yeh anokha, Hawa ka yeh jhoka mujko choo jata baar baar", and when the flute sol comes along the words, arrangements and vocals make me tremble as I feel the intensity and purity of love here. Shivansh does a fabulous writing these words and the creative arrangements that get the Sarangi also on board is just a testament to his abilities. The swaras are delivered in the interlude the second time around and this love feels untarnished just like Indian classical music. The strings section in the background during the lines "Kabhi Narmi ho, ya thodi garmi ho, pyaar aise ho rangon se bhara" is just an uplifting element.  As we draw to a close just enjoy Aasa and Shivansh go head to head with their astonishing reproduction of the notes as they even playfully alter "kya tera kya mera" in more than a few ways. Tejus Srivastava is the mixing and mastering engineer at Blue Productions. Are there fragments of Raag Yamunakalyani in the melody? Maybe!@shivansh.j @aasa.sing @tejussrivastava @shreyasamin_ @dev_iadc 2. In The NightComposed, programmed and arranged by: Charanraj MR Lyrics: Dhananjay Ranjan Singer: Kapil Kapilan Language: KannadaGenre: JazzMood: RomanticCharan Raj is once again proving his mettle in 2025 with outstanding tracks, one after another. This is a breathtaking song composed, arranged, and programmed by Charan, with lyrics written by Dhananjay Ranjan. It is not just a song for the night; it is for your day, dawn, and dusk. Nathan's woodwinds make the foray and it feels like we are inside in a theatre listening to a Musical. The way Kapil Kapilan sings with all his heart and exploding lungs is a treat to hear because there are only a few like him who sing with this passion and perfection and who can also sing in multiple langauges with ease. This Jazz-rich song is another proof that Charan can create gems across genres. Godfrey Emmanuel plays the mild guitars and when we get to the second time of the pallavi " In the Night, Ee khali khali road ali" we get to hear the amazing strings section by Cochin Strings, arranged by Narayan Sharma. The fantastic team playing the strings are Carol George, Joby Jose, Bibin and Maria Das, Shallu Varun is on Double Bass. Let us not forget the way Karthik Vamsi gives these enticing percussions like the finger clicks and Cajon that go perfectly well with the Jazz tone. The genius and creativity of Charan come to life in the interlude as he uses the Nadaswaram like a Western brass section instrument. D Balasubramani plays the sexy Nadaswaram bits and the melody written for this is fresh and full of life. The Nadaswaram is accompanied by woodwinds, guitars trumpets and trombones as well. The backing vocalists Devu Mathew, Kavitha Ilango, Charu and Fathima give that choral bliss along with the Nadaswaram notes. The stanza is just flowing with more beauty with lines like "Ranga raashi rangu neenu". My heart attained total joy when we heard a pause by Kapil and then came Shallu's terrific double bass notes, followed by Kapil singing "Ninna smile ey saaku" Venkatesh G Bhat is the music supervisor, and the recording engineers are Vishnuraj MR at 2bq Studios and Jishtu at Pop Media House. The tracks are mixed and mastered by Sujith Sreedhar at Masterhouse 2bq Studios Chennai.@charanraj27185 @kapilkapilanmusic @aanandaaudio @rachana.inder @godfray_immanuel @groovemachine02 @nadasbala @narayan_sharma227 @venkateshmusic_ @sujithsreedhar @vishnuraj.m.r @devumathew @kavitha__ilango @karthikvamsivr

Naguvina NesaraComposed, Arranged and Produced by Charan Raj Vocals: Sunidhi Ganesh Lyrics: Pramod Maravanthe Co-composer: Narayan Sharma Language: KannadaGenre: Light MusicMood: RomanticI have been waiting for this, but like they say "when it rains, it pours". Forget what I am about to write in the next few paragraphs, and do yourself a favour. Just go listen to this spellbinding melody from Charan Raj and let it make your day brighter. Sunidhi Ganesh hums, and haunts you, pulling you closer and closer, and you end up like a prey entering her den. I am hearing Sunidhi for the very first time, and listening to her delivery and vocal abilities it feels like a seasoned artist is performing. The mild Piano alone feels like a leaf out of Maestro Ilaiyaraja's playbook. The strings section slowly starts playing thanks to the execution by Cochin Strings and arrangements by Narayan Sharma. This fabulous solo violinist is also the co-composer for this melody. When the line "Odutha Odutha" just is about end, we have the flourishing acoustic guitar notes decorating the background sound for the line "Benda Bhoom Tampagidhe". The line means the parched earth is getting drenched with water, and just then Sunil's acoustic guitars quench our thirst too. The introduction of the clap sounds with the chorus segment is beautiful, kudos to Charan and Narayan for their arrangements, programming and production. The amazing words are penned by Pramod Maravanthe. The humming in the interlude adds to the mild melancholy and we have an array of ethnic strings and plucks played by Dr. P Subhani. The stanza creates awe with the notes and Sunidhi makes the heart flutter in love with her singing and sweetness. I have a wide smile and my eyes remain shut to avoid all earthly disturbances when I hear the line "Mouna Nidhana, Kado Vedhana, Hogi Bandante Aagaaga praana". The Harps and bass guitars by Naveen Napier give a mix of merriment and mystique. Venkatesh Bhat is the music supervisor, and the recording engineers are Aniket Mohanty and Vishnuraj MR at 2 Bar Q Studios and Audiokraft Studios. The tracks are mixed and mastered by Sujith Sreedhar. @charanraj27185 @paavanaofficial @hemanthrao11 @sunidhi_music @pramodmaravanthelyricist @saregama_kannada @narayan_sharma_227 @napier_naveen @mandolinsmsubhani @sujithsreedhar2. Guru Meets Mastan (Ulpporul) Music and Concept: Shahabaz AmanMusic Production: Rex Vijayan  Language: MalayalamGenre: Folk FusionMood: Inspiring/MThis man is one of my favourite musicians in India. The conceptualization and ideation of Shahbaz Aman are beyond compare. It is as good as his divine voice. Here in this album, Shahabaz brings together the poetic works of Sri Narayana Guru and Icha Abdulkhadar Mastan, hence "Guru Meets Mastan". The single is an experience any music lover must never miss out on and 'Ulpporul' is translated as 'Inner Meaning'. We have the splendid Rex Vijayan on music production and all the acoustic guitars, Mandolin and additional programming are done by Sujith Valiyaveettili. The Kozhikodel Chorus is mesmerising with their harmonies in the background and it elevates the song, promoting feelings of brotherhood, harmony and love. The vocalists are Ranjith Jayaraman, Nasil P, Adwaith B Kumar, Arun Ashok, Akhil Dev and Devadut Bijibal. The Mandolin provides a very Middle Eastern influence, in the interlude.I hear some scintillating sounds of the slide guitar, electric guitar and a few more ethnic strings with heavy rhythms all making it the best-produced song of the week, and one of the best from Malayalam in 2025 so far. Is there some influence of Raag Bhimpalasi (Abheri in Carnatic)? I feel that in this beautiful like "Ha Ha Ha endra Kamalam" and what follows. Shahabaz as well as the chorus singers bring such beauty to the lines with their ghamakas. The song is definitely a melody that moves across scales and as we progress there are shades of Raag Pilu (Kapi in Carnatic) and you can sense this in the line "Zaman aakhir thannil varum".Rex shines through all along with his rhythm and keyboard programming along with Sujith, and he doesn't stop there, with some terrific arrangements on harmonies, horns and acoustic, and bass guitars as well. The mind goes into oblivion and peace with the emergence of "Patham kondadu thaniye". @rex_vijayan @shahabazaman5 @sujith_v_v 

If you are a musician submit your new music here.Here are the best songs released in India across languages and genres for the week ending 30th March 20251. En Vanam Singer: Sean Roldan Lyrics: Uma Devi Music And Arrangement: Sean Roldan Language: TamilGenre: BalladMood: PathosI loved the album "Bottle Radha" composed by the amazing Sean Roldan, as his purple patch of wonderful music continues. The Duduk by Ashish Venkateshwaran makes the intro sound all gloomy and melancholic and this pathos-laden song gets the additional vocal thrust of Sean singing it with all that heaviness in the heart. Uma Devi doesn't mince words as her poetry delivers the message, Ashwin Suresh's nylon and acoustic guitars keep playing right through and Ashwin Raja's keys exist mildly in the background with lines " en vaanam nee, en vaanath thooral nee, en verum nee, en veril eeram nee". The strings section in the background pulls up the protagonist from the depths of sadness with Sean arranging it beautifully. The melody traverses through like a river, gentle and beautiful as we hear "aatrin neerukku ethu sondham bandhame, en yaavum nee". Do I hear some Ragam Shanmukhapriya in the melody here? Maybe!The bass guitars by Aalaap Raju and Ashish's Duduk form the framework in the interlude but the notes written for the guitars that follow are where Sean shines. The stanza is rich and with such strong writing and delivery the flute intervention is maddeningly good, just listen to the line "uyir siluvai sumandhu kondu, nadai pinamai, naana alaya" is teh most striking line of the song. The arrangements keep getting better as Sean offers no respite. Once you have started playing this song, your ears and music sensibilities are in for a treat. "Kaathalin sabangal theernthu poguma , inimelum thodaruma" sings Sean with some delicious vibrato. May God bless this amazing composer and singer, so that the people of Tamil Nadu and all lovers of Tamil music worldwide get to hear more of such magic. Kiran Kashyap is the music assistant, all the tracks are mixed and mastered by Balu Thankachan at 20db Studio (assisted by Paul Daniel), and the recording engineers are Ashwin George John, Manoj Krishna and Hari. Sean's manager is M.P. Vijay at Silver Tree Talent Management. @rseanroldan @manojkrishna001 @mrviolinistt @a.s.h.musique @aswin_george_john @flute_ashish @umadevikuppan @aalaapraju @thebaluthankachan @pauldanieldanny 2. Lekin - The Mirror SongSinger-Songwriter-Composer – Prabhakar RajGuitars, Production, Mixing & Mastering – Kshitij Shrivastava Language: HindiGenre: PopMood: PathosI wish I could let this song be played to many young indie artists and show it like a mirror so that they all understand the purpose and commitment that songwriting entails. I loved this song for many reasons and it begins right from the moment we hear Nayan Joshi's Piano intro. Prabhakar Raj sinks deep into your heart with his singing and the emotional aptness of his delivery. We can also hear the faint violin solo in the background by Nayan and that too adds drops of pathos to the mix.The moment he finishes the line "tume gaye, badli kahaani meri, haan janta hai yeh dil, lautoge tum na kabhi...lekin", there seems to be hope building in the protagonist's heart and that is conveyed not only with the lyrics, but the transformed production and vocal tone. We get the sound of guitars and the rhythms act likes rays of sunshine gleaming with brightness. Kshitij Shrivastava is responsible for the fantastic music production and arrangements and he also plays the guitars here.I love Prabhakar's simple yet succulent writing here, capturing the essence of a man shattered by the departure of his lover. He writes "tum aaye ho iss dafa, lekin bas, Ek yaad thi, mujko satake gayi, phir se rulake gayi". The piano and lead guitars along with the rhythm guitars make way for an even more touching segment after the interlude. Prabhakar forays into the falsetto mode singing "kyun log yun ho jaate ajnabi, jo chahiye jab ta, woh tab kahan milta, shayad ise hi kehte hain woh zindagi". The violin solo and bass guitars are two more exciting elements that end the song perfectly, filled with sadness and making the listener want more. The tracks are mixed and mastered by Kshitij. @tellmeprabhakar @inayanjoshi @musicbykshitij 3. Saraswati

HaiyodiMusic composed, arranged & produced by Dhibu Ninan Thomas Lyrics: Krithika Nelson Singer: Kapil KapilanLanguage: TamilGenre: Alt-RockMood: RomanticWhen I listen to this song by the fabulous composer-singer combination of Dhibu and Kapil, I am reminded of another fantastic song. 'Adiye' was a song that mesmerised the whole nation, and for those who didn't know Kapil Kapilan, it put him on the pan-India radar. This splendid Alt-Rock melody is composed, arranged and produced by Dhibu Ninan Thomas with lyrics by the talented singer-songwriter Krithika Nelson. Was it a conscious decision to use 'Haiyodi' as the catchphrase and title after the success of 'Haiyoda' by Anirudh for the album ' Jawaan'?Either way, this is a much better song in comparison, for me at least and Kapil Kapilan elevates it to another orbital altogether. Keba Jeremiah's guitars and Naveen Napier's bass are piling on the scintillating effect and Dhibu combines the purity of Raag Abheri (Bhimplasi) with the energy of rock music. The male chorus joins in to provide impetus to the line "anbe nee anjamal nenjai killi sellathe", thanks to Dhibu, Aravind Srinivas , Sarath Santhosh , Saisharan , Shenbagaraj and Narayanan Ravishankar. When it is Kapil's turn to join and sing the line, the strings section is a beautiful arrangement in the background, played by the Budapest Scoring Orchestra and this section is arranged by the amazing Kalyani Nair. I love the confidence and trust Dhibu has in giving some of the best songs to Kapil, and the way he provides an unabated vocal exhibition in return is a testament to a great team. The swaras are being performed by Kapil at breakneck speed, and it is beautiful to hear the backing vocalists sing "hey hey kadhal" along with this.Sruthiraj is on the Tabla and Ashwin Sivadas plays the drums. I love we have the backing vocalists sing the line "nenjukkule vedikkathe" and then with Kapil following it up "un perai sonnale", but the highlight here is Kalyani Nair's string arrangements that are mesmerising. Kapil shines with some unbelievable stuff he does in the higher vocal register. Listen to the aalaap in the outro and stay dumbstruck. The tracks are mixed by Balu Thankachan (20 dB, Chennai), and mastered by Shadab Rayeen (New Edge Studios, Mumbai). The recording engineers are Maniratnam, Bence Bobak, Vishnu M N and Paul Daniel. @dhibuninanthomas @kapilkapilan @officialanagha @princepicturesindia @madrashe @napier_naveen @kebajer @singer_narayananravishankar @aravindsrinivas_official @shenbagarajg @kalyaninair86 @sivadasashwin2. FariyaadVocals, Lyrics, Composition: Inayat Kaur BajajLanguage: HindiGenre: Alt-RockMood: EnergeticShe is a precocious talent with terrific vocal control and abilities. Inayat Kaur Bajaj has been featured many times by me and she has been on Indian Idol Season 14. Here is a new single where she doesn't restrain and goes all out with her insane vibrato, and why not? Inayat inspires many youngsters who are writing songs, as she writes the melody, and lyrics and performs the vocals on this one. Listen to her go as she sings "Ab toh Main kya karoon" with some falsetto and the landing notes on the last word, almost impossible to achieve. Suyash Gabriel is on drums, Anahita Singh plays the gentle Piano and the guitars are played by Solomon Konwar and McGilheri(Vinod Arora). The song gets into a blistering mode as we get to the chorus segment with the heavy rock genre being explored in drums and guitars and Inayat soars into the pitch notes, emoting all the aggression with style. One just can sit and listen to this splendid vocal performance by Inayat and maybe say to yourself " Main aur kya karoon". Once we get a solo on electric guitars in the interlude, Inayat executes the same notes with stunning perfection, giving a classical touch to the fast-paced aalap. The tracks are mixed and mastered by Mukul Jain at Ferris Wheel Studios. The recording engineers are Solomon, Mukul and Rohan Vashisht, the technical engineer. @inayatkaurbajaj @mixbymukul @ferriswheelstudios @itsanahita.singh @suyashgarbriel @mcgilheri3.

If you are a musician submit your new music here.Here are the best songs released in India across languages and genres for the week ending 16th March 20251. PremaloMusic composer: Vijai Bulganin Singers: Anurag Kulkarni & Sameera Bharadwaj Lyrics: Purna Chary Keyboard programmer: Balu Additional strings arrangements: Jishnu Vijay Language: TeluguGenre: Light Music/ Folk PopMood: RomanticThe Telugu movie 'Court' is getting some good reviews, and in the meantime when I realised that the music is by Vijai Bulganin, I got excited and had solid expectations. Vijai meets expectations without a solitary obstacle in this beautiful melody. A blistering start to the song thanks to the one and only Rithu Vyshak who plays the role of the one-man-string-quartet. Rithu arranges the strings with additional string arrangements by Jishnu Vijay. Lali Talluri doesn't wait too long before he enthrals you with that tranquil flute solo.The live rhythms are so engaging and all of this happens within the first 30 seconds that you surrender yourself to the beauty of Vijai Bulganin's composition and production. Balu handles the keyboard programming and Raju, Lakshmi Kanth Pyare Lal and Adithya Babu handle the lovely rhythms. You can sway, but you have to agree when I say "Vijai Bulganin is one of the best out there". The high-pitched lines of Anurag and the lines by Sameera sung in the lower octave are fantastic. The love and romance are so well expressed in the vocal tones. The amazing words are written by Purna Chary.  Shallu Varun is a constant presence giving some stylish flavours with his bass guitars. The elaborate strings section in the background is performed by the Budapest Scoring orchestra, with orchestrators Abishek V and Balasubramanian G. Anurag weaves magic with his vibrato as he sings "Aakasham Thaakaali Ani Undha, Naatho raa chupistha aa saradhaa" and ends the line. Sameera makes you fall in love with her shy and suave delivery, pay attention to how she modifies and sings "Unnaayya Badinche Dhaaralu" The recording engineers are Vyshak PK & Alina Dantis at Contrabass Studios, Chennai. Robin Sebastian is the vocal engineer and the tracks are mixed and mastered by Roshan Sebastian. @vijai_bulganin @preyadarshe @poet_purna @nameisnani @sameerabharadwaj @anuragkulkarni7 @jishnuvijayanmusical @lalittalluri @shalluvarun02 @rithuvysakh @robinsebastianmusic @roshansebastian @contrabass_music_studios 2. SilsilaComposed and Produced By Shor Police (Clinton Cerejo & Bianca Gomes) Singers: Arijit Singh & Jonita Gandhi Lyrics: Siddhant Kaushal Language: HindiGenre: Alt-PopMood: RomanticI heard this album on a bus just before boarding a flight. When the first song "Silsila" played, i felt like my heart had already taken flight into some orbit of happiness, much before boarding the aircraft. This is what Bollywood has been so dearly missing! Good melodies that sound fresh and can lift your spirits. Instead what I have been doing for the last 5 years when I hear a new Bollywood song is immediately start wondering and asking myself " Where Have I heard this song before?". Clinton Cerejo's guitars and The Piano make way for your heart to be left pounding after finishing the song. Shor Police have created a beautiful, explosive album, "Dhoom Dhaam," which I recently rated 4/5. There are 3 very good songs on the album, and this is my favourite. The melody is blissful, thanks to the writing by Clinton and Bianca Gomes, and Siddhant Kaushal adds more life to the song with his words. I love the chorus segment with the lead vocals and the accompanying backing vocals that go " taaron takey batton ka, ujli hui raaton ka, hone ko hai chala yeh silisila". Behold for what's about to come, we get a scintillating interlude on guitars and Arijit humming along. This small melody piece is a collection of notes that just soothes the heart. Jonita Gandhi takes over in the verse here and how she performs is exemplary for any young artist, combining style and substance in equal proportions. Listen to the delivery when she sings " Nazaron ke sheeson mein chehra hai jo khila" with that pain and vulnerability in the tone, and then the falsettos are pure gold in "ab shaayad roohon mein shuru hone ko hai chala". Shor Police have done a stunning job on arrangements, especially harmonies, guitars and rhythms. The mild interlude on the guitar solo after the verse by Jonita feels like magic. The tracks are mixed and mastered by Aftab Khan at Headroom Studio, Mumbai. @shorpolice @sidkaushal22 @iambinkybee @jonitamusic @kedarpallavi @mixedbyaftab @dharpok @clintoncerejo @arijitsingh

Chahte HainVocals: Shilpa Rao, Raghav ChaitanyaLyrics, Composition: Raghav ChaitanyaArrangements: Vaibhav PaniLanguage: HindiGenre: PopMood: RomanticI love the direction in which Raghav Chaitanya is heading, writing songs and delivering some fantastic melodies. 2025 has been a great start for this talented singer-songwriter as I am now featuring him for the second time this year. 'Begana' was the other song I reviewed earlier. Raghav writes the lyrics, and the melody and gets the amazing Shilpa Rao on board to perform the lead vocals along with him. The riffs on the keys create a nice background sound right through and Ishand Das accompanies on guitars.Kudos to Vaibhav Pani for the endearing arrangements that ensure the song sounds cooler and more gratifying. The song moves into a very engaging Synth Pop mode with some fabulous keys and synth refurbishments. The lines "Jo tum chahte hain, woh hum chahte hain" feels so enriching to hear, especially with Raghav's timely vibrato. The clincher is the Sarangi solo that intervenes in the interlude, thanks to Dilshad Khan, and this feels like pop fusion heaven. The melody feels like a bit of Raag Maand to me. Shilpa joins in the verse soon after and she delivers the lines like having a piece of cake, effortless and stylish. The way she sings "khushi chahte hain, na hi gham" with a mild aalaap, followed by that delightful ghamaka while singing " tumhari nigahen karam chahte hain" sounds all to magical, especially with Ishan's free-flowing guitar interventions. How can anyone reject this offer when Shilpa sings "Khuda ke liye, humse nazarein mila lo"? Thank you Shilpa for making every note sound special with your vocals. Aniruddh Anantha is on backing vocals, and it sounds emphatic with the lines "tere bin jeena". The recording engineers are Partho and Nishant, with Shadab Rayeen on mixing and mastering duties. @raghavachaitanya @sanika17_official @shilparao @tseries.official @tru_makers2. Abhi Kabhi SabhiVocals, Composition: Rameez KhalidLyrics: Rameez Khalid & Sarmad GhafoorMusic Production: Sarmad Ghafoor (SnM Studios , Islamabad)Language: HindiGenre: RockMood: EnergeticMusic Sans Frontiers! Yes, what do man-made borders have to do with appreciating music? I do feature a few Pakistani songs from now and then in these weeklies, especially if they do turn up in some Indian-specific playlists on Spotify. The song straightaway generates great energy thanks to the tempo, the emphatic drums and the combination of the violin with Rich Millin and Ben Sarfas respectively.Rameez Khalid is terrific on vocals here singing with such passion and the melody written by him is equally catchy and potent. The violins are brisk and the accompanying bass, guitars and drums make you tap your feet non-stop. I am not sure when exactly the song was released, because Spotify says 2024, but Youtube has a version from 5 years ago. Either way this song is worth listening to right now. Get hold of the scintillating solo on the violin by Ben as he carries you through a maze. "Bhoole hum sare ghum" is true when you hear such music. The lyrics are penned by Rameez and Sarmad Ghafoor, with the latter producing the music and handling arrangements as well. The interlude has some harmonies, with a drop in tempo, and marching style drums with Rameez singing "tere liye" as if saying this song is for my pleasure. What follows is an exhibition of vocal prowess by Rameez as he does some scat-singing with Ben equal to the task on this Jugalbandhi. @rameezkhalidofficial @sarmadghafoor @zparwez 3.

Mugai Mazhai Music Composed, Arranged and Produced by Sean Roldan Singers : Sean Roldan, Saindhavi Lyrics: Mohan Rajan Vocal Harmonies: Kalyani Nair & Neeraj M Selva Language: TamilGenre: Light Music /PopMood: RomanticHere comes the champion Sean Roldan. I met him at his Mumbai Gig with Sean Roldan & Friends performing Tamil Blues music and like the entire crowd I was wowed. I wasn't surprised and I was lucky to spend a few minutes with him after the gig, to convey my love for his music. A crackling beauty of a melody composed by the modern maestro with Ashwin Suresh's Nylon Guitar and some nice vocal harmonies adding to the beauty.The song's melody has impressions of Suddha Dhanyasi Ragam and it is evident right through. Kalyani Nair and Neeraj M Selva handle the harmonies with the playful flute intervention by Ashish Venkateswaran. When Sean sings the lead vocals " Kanmozhiyal pesadi, en uyirin mellisaiye" , I am floating into the skies. The chorus segment is a beautiful bit that has an uplifting ring to it with "mugai mazhai mugai mazhai, naan nanaigiren muthal murai". Mohan Rajan should be credited with the fitting words. The keys and rhythms are programmed and arranged to enable the song to reach a higher orbit of likability and the song feels like an Alt-Pop splendour. The interlude on the flute followed by guitars and harmonies is when Sean makes a Tamil music listener feel like listening to a piece of magic from Maestro Ilaiyaraja himself. Saindhavi joins and she hits every note like a woodpecker on the job singing "kalam neram maari pogume" after a fabulous vibrato. Sean excels in every department of composing, arranging, producing and performing this song in a way very few in India can so consistently. The tracks are recorded Aswin George John, Hariharan at Sounds Right. The mixing and mastering is by Balu Thankachan at 20db Black with assistance by Paul Daniel. @rseanroldan @millionoffl @saindhaviofficial @thinkmusicofficial @mohanrajan_lyrici @aswin_george_john @kalyaninair86 @neeraj_msg @a.s.h.musique @flute_ashish @thebaluthankachan @pauldanieldanny2. KanavukalSinger, Songwriter & Composer - Gowry Lekshmi Music Production - Ganesh Venkataramani Language: MalayalamGenre: ElectronicPopMood: EnergeticShe is one artist who deserves the famed title OG when it comes to indie music in India, especially from the south. Her delivery is by itself like a capsule that boosts the adrenaline in our veins. I feel like I am on steroids and I need to get up and dance when Gowry Lekshmi performs the Konnakol "thaka thimi thaka thakita thakita", and she follows this up with a high-pitched humming that feels like listening to a sorcerer trying to hypnotise us. The Keys, synths and rhythms that follow feel like "Roja Poo aadi vandhadhu" sung by KS Chithra and composed by Maestro Ilaiyaraja.Gowy has composed the music, written the lyrics and performed the lead vocals. Ganesh Venkataramani does brilliant music production and he elevates the song with the nice 90's styled synth-pop and dance-pop flavours. Ganesh also gives an energetic sound design on the heavy rhythm programming and adds style through the vocal harmony arrangements. The stanza is beautifully written by Gowry and that is why she is one India's best for trying to create content with consistency and quality par excellence. The lines that begin with "Dooram Thaanda Noppam Aarumilla, Vegam Pnam Pokaa Nereyundu" sets the mood for what's about to come. "Aadaan Neram Kaalonniderumengil" accompanied by the stylish synths and rhythms feels like a mesmerising ride beyond the gates of paradise. The champion producer/engineer Rex Vijayan gets cracking with his work on mixing and mastering the tracks. Is there some Abheri Ragam in the melody? Maybe. @gowrylekshmih @ganhitsthings @kalesh_govindan_3. Shaam Se Aaj 

If you are a musician submit your new music here.Here are the best songs released in India across languages and genres for the week ending 23rd February 20251. Uyir Pathikaama Composed, Arranged, and Programmed by Santhosh Narayanan Lyrics: Vivek Singers: Vijaynarain, Aditya Ravindran, Santhosh Narayanan Language:Genre: Funk/PopMood: DanceSanthosh Narayanan hits two home runs on the trot. After a chart-topping 'Kannadi Poove' last week it is a funky dance number with outstanding vocals, basslines and harmonies to make the music lover feel joy all over again. Vijaynarain's vocal tone fits the bill of the young romantic hero so perfectly and that is why this song is laden with energy. With Karthi singing and just jostling about and Krithi Shetty pulling off some incredible steps, one can easily understand how amazing the song is going to look on screen. Santhosh has composed, arranged and programmed for this single and he along with Aditya Ravindran opens up the intro with some delectable harmonies. If Krithi is the heroine, the hero is bassist Naveen Napier killing it with incredible moments on bass guitars right through. It is the beating heart of this song when Naveen intervenes and entertains wholesomely on bass and Aditya energises the party with the electric guitar. Vivek, the lyricist is on fire mode with his words like " En raa kaalam atha varuthi varuthi, oru poo kaalam atha thodutha poruthi, oru pen mela pazhi sumathhi sumathhi".The hook line is pure delight as the singers go "Uyir pathikama vida mattalo", and then the following line adds fuel to the fire " Kanna sutthi olicha nooru kathi". Aditya handles all the additional synths and Karthik Manickavasagam is on additional arrangements duty. I love the thumps of the rhythms, drums and the simple notes on Keys to go all along. The interlude has these catchy Bluesy humming bits performed like guitar notes and what follows is a riot thanks to the composition of Santhosh and vocal prowess of Vijaynarain. The line "Aduthenna Kalavaram undangidumo" with the most unexpected notations and the basslines to follow is just an example of what is about to come. How easily does Vijaynarain perform the falsetto at the end of the line "nethi pottil muttham vaikka neram vandacho" is something that is beyond my comprehension and he does one more with "sondhathodu santhdipoma". The melody continues to move like one crazy joyride with lines like "nelakozhayuthu iva nizhal thaan partha". This could have only come from the repertoire of someone like Santhosh who just won't settle for the ordinary. He also plays the flute solo in this track just like in the previous single released 1 day prior. The recording is done by Santhosh, Karthik and Rupendar Venkatesh at Future Tense Studios Chennai. The tracks are mixed by Santhosh and additional mixing and mastering is by Rupendar @MixMagic Records. Meenakshi Santhosh is in charge of Music Management along with Studio Assistant Jabaraj. @musicsanthosh @vijaynarain @adityaravindran95 @vaavaathiyaarmovie @lyricist_vivek @krithi.shetty_official @nehagnanavelraja @napier_naveen 2. RoshniSingers: Pawandeep Rajan, Arunita Kanjilal Music Produced by: Salim Sulaiman Music Composed by: Shraddha Pandit, Keshav Anand Lyrics: Shraddha Pandit Music Co-Produced by: Shivansh Jindal Language: HindiGenre: PopMood: RomanticThis combination of singers and producers worked like magic a couple of years ago, and here too we get another blinder. Salim-Sulaiman produces this beauty performed by lead vocalists Pawandeep Rajan and Arunita Kanjilal. The melody is composed by Shraddha Pandit and Keshav Anand with lyrics by the former. She has a way with words and I am delighted to see Shraddha co-compose such a beauty as well. Nyzel Dlima uses that brief moment when Arunita pauses to give a faint touch of the electric guitar. The melody starts to seep in when she sings "Haan Tumse Mili Pehli wafa", after that gentle aalap. How gradually the tempo picks up before you even realize and Pawandeep's voice is like a warm hug. He sings "ishq ka dhaaga khaske pakadna" with the adjoining pacy guitars. The bass guitars, drums and keys engage in tandem with the chorus lines "tere ishq pe hain yakeen" sung by the lead vocalists in harmony. Shivansh Jindal does all the additional music production. Is there some Raag Yamunakalyani? Maybe!Getting that saxophone in the interlude is a masterstroke, that works so well, adding to the romanticism of the song. The stanza leads to some calmer moments and the melody is reinforced with the Sitar and Tabla and that is why you can always trust Salim and Sulaiman to elevate something already beautiful into something breathtaking. As we come to a close Arunita does a subtle ghamaka in " ab jo mile ho "which just kept me stunned for a few seconds. The way the two lead vocalists perform the chorus line in different octaves is wonderful. The tracks are mixed and mastered by Aftab Khan at Headroom Studio, Mumbai, with Vatsal Chevli as the mix assistant. 

If you are a musician submit your new music here.Here are the best songs released in India across languages and genres for the week ending 16th February 20251. Kannadi PooveLyrics: Vivek Singer: Santhosh Narayanan Backing Vocals: Kapil Kapilan Composed / Arranged / Programmed By Santhosh Narayanan Language: TamilGenre: Ballad/FolkMood: PathosThe master is here and with his first song in 2025, the expectations were building up, especially after a fabulous 2024 with 'Kalki 2898AD' , 'Vaazhai' and 'Anweshippin Kandethum'. The movie "Retro" had a fantastic teaser and when it is a Karthik Subburaj and Santhosh Narayanan combination we expect fireworks. Rightly so this song came out and without wasting any time Santhosh gets the intro in full blast.The Violas by Manoj are strong and make marks like swords in an action sequence. The Violins join as another layer also played by Manoj, and we have the raw and earthy vocals of Santhosh. Nobody's voice fits a sad and melancholic melody like his and he gets the tone and delivery perfectly done. In his usual fashion, he gets as many layers as possible in the arrangements and production, and that is Santhosh trademark and what makes his artform special. The "azhagiye" in harmonies after Santhosh's "adi ennadi nee". This segment which we can also call the song's anu pallavi , "unakkul porandhu unakkul amrikkum" is so intense and beautiful, and Santhosh leaves us wanting more by having this play only once in the whole track. There may be some influences of Raag Keeravani, if I am not wrong and because of the mood and style of the song, I am reminded of Maestro Ilaiyarajas's "Oora therunjukitten, Ulagam Purinjukitten". Get a load of this interlude now with belligerent violins, and the emphatic rhythms by Pranav Muniraj. Interestingly a flute solo follows to ease the pain and this is played by Santhosh himself.  A song from Santhosh' own discography, in the tone, that I feel some similarity to is 'Ori Vaari' from the album "Dasara"The stanza is where Santhosh drags you deeper into misery with the melody "paavamadi en nenju". The line where I was sent to the moon itself was "hey vandakodi, en vannakili, en ullala unnala kaayam, vazhi kandenadi, uyir kondeneadi, en anbana koodu neeyum". How does he manage to write notations like these? Vivek provides rock-solid support with these powerful words. All the string section quartet arrangements are by Santhosh with additional strings arranged by the brilliant General Karthik Manickavasagam. The second interlude has this massive piece that feels like French horns and vocal chants together and the strings of course. I was reminded of Maestros "Nila Athu vanathu Mele" and in one interlude Ilaiyaraja uses sounds to depict the horns of imminent ships. The second stanza's melody is written differently by Santhosh and how refreshing to hear that. And Kapil Kapilan is used as a backing vocalist, for those high-pitched vocals in the background. As we approach the closing stages of the song, one man begins to shine viz. the bassist Naveen Napier. He is on his solo trip if you pay attention and all that cool bassline makes us go tripping and into a trance. The recording engineers are Santhosh, Rupendar Venkatesh and Karthik at Future Tense Studios. The tracks are mixed by Santhosh and mastered by Karthik. All the music management is handled by Meenakshi Santhosh with studio assistant Jabaraj. @musicsanthosh @lyricist_vivek @ksubburaj @napier_naveen @manojviolonist @kapilkapilanmusic @karthikmanickavasakam @meenakshi_santhoshnarayanan @rupendar_venkatesh 2. Paka Music Composed, Arranged and Produced - Justin Varghese Singer - K. S Chithra, Justin Varghese Lyrics - Suhail Koya Co-produced by Rijo Joseph Language: MalayalamGenre: Light Music/SymphonyMood: InspiringI have always loved Justin Varghese's work. Some of the most creative whacky and brilliant songs in Malayalam have come from him. Tacks like "Hijabi" from the album 'Meow' and "Kannu" from 'Vishudha Mejo' and the title track of 'Palthu Janwar' will be etched in my mind forever. Let us not forget the insane score of 'JOJI'. Anyway, I am so glad that he is back with a blinder of a song this time in a new movie album called 'Ponman'. I started listening to this song and I was generally pleased with the outcome from the start. The nightingale KS Chithra was performing like she was operating on a time machine. He starts in the intro with his vocals, but it is accompanied by some heavy strings, horns and percussions in the background. Justin has composed, arranged the whole song and co-produced the song with Rijo Joseph. The sound design feels like it is a battleground and after the intro opening verse things calm down a bit. The Piano comes like a breather, produced and arranged by Gichu Joy and the calming chorus by Aavani Malhar, Hinitha Hilary, Akshaya A.K, Sreekutty Sreenath and Vyshak Bejoy. Chithra ji begins her rendition and it feels like a mother's lullaby putting me off into an endless slumber and sleep. 

If you are a musician submit your new music here.Here are the best songs released in India across languages and genres for the week ending 9th February 20251. GhostProduced and Mixed by sudan Mastered by Vavae Written by sudan & Frizzell D'souza Language: EnglishGenre: PopMood: RomanticIt would be fair, to say that Frizzell D'Souza is one of my absolute favourite Indie musicians in India today. She earned that thanks to her poignant vocals, and relevant and fresh songwriting to go along with. Last year her EP "In My Asymmetry" was one of the top 3 Indie EPs for me. Frizzell co-writes this gentle and beautiful pop single along with another talented bloke sudan, who too has been reviewed and featured by me before. This collaboration works like magic with sudan producing the song.He opens in the verse and I love that tone which makes the listener feel distant and cold for just a bit. The flowy acoustic guitars act like a stream of water that brings freshness and also helps us move to the next verse where Frizzell serenades you with her voice. The production gets a bit more energetic on rhythms. The tone and texture of her voice are a lesson for many young musicians learning the craft and wanting to make it big. She asks "Can you come some other time, if that's alright" If she was asking me this, why would I ever say No to a voice like this?Kudos to sudan and Frizzell on the very hummable melody, and sudan especially for getting the sound of the trumpets in multiple layers and horns in the background. Feel the pulse reverberating when Frizzell leverages her vocal abilities to deliver a stunning bridge section. Voila, there come the trumpets in the outro! @frizzell.dsouza @misfitsinc @notsudan @saasmitchhetri 2. Sab Jag AndhaMusic Composed and Produced By - Aman Pant Arranged By - Sairaj Vijay Puranik Singer - Romy Lyrics - Kabir, Ashwni Dhir Language: HindiGenre: Folkish/ Semi-classicalMood: PathosI came across this album on Apple Music called "Hisaab Barabar". It made no noise and there were reviews of the movie but nobody talked about the music. As always I listen to everything that gets released, and when I heard this album, I was more than pleased by the quality. No wonder, it was the composition of Aman Pant, a musician I have liked and paid attention to. Jayant Patnaik plays the heavy rhythms, giving the flavour of a folkish number, and the additional dholak is played by Omkar Ingawale & Mangesh Joshi. I am reminded of the fantastic works of Ajay-Atul and this is meant to be a compliment. Did I hear some Raag Pilu? Well, thankfully Aman Pant educates me that there is more of a Raag Charukeshi vibe. I feel the pathos not just in the melody and tempo but the magnificent vocals of Romy. Rajeev Prasanna's flute solo in the interlude is endearing and filled with morose emotions. The melody is composed by Aman, and all the arrangements are by Sairaj Vijay Puranik. Kanir and Ashwni Dhir are the lyricists. The vocal harmonies in some Qawwali style along with stunning bass guitars elevate the interlude. Veljon Noronha plays the guitars, strokes, and bass and does all the related arrangements. I was taken aback by the beginning of the stanza which starts, after a brief pause and in such a low vocal register. Romy sings "lobh mein labh" in a captivating style and with enviable control. Well done to the writers and the composer for creating something so touching. "Iss gol chakki mein phis gaya banda" sings Romy and I am feeling the heaviness in my heart. The recording engineers are Mukund Kondedeshmukh, Vishal Shinde & Bashab Bhattacharjee. The tracks are mixed and mastered by Bashab at Chirping Birds Studios. The closing outro with the strings in the background, the flute solo and Romy's singing are magical. @amanpant02 @mainhoonromy @sairajpuranikofficial @audiobybashab @rajeevprasannaflute @veljon6noronha @omkar_ingawale_official @jayantpatnaik @vishal.shinde62 @chirpingbirdsstudios @mangeshjoshiofficial

Safar Mein Gum Music - Sarthak Kalyani Lyrics - Srijan, Sarthak Kalyani Singers - Sarthak Kalyani, PALAK Language: HindiGenre: PopMood: DreamySarthak Kalyani sings and when you hear, you end up with a sense of satisfaction that you heard someone with an elegant and touching voice. He emotes with perfection, and when the lines come "safar mein gum sa main ho gaya" you can feel the mild pain the protagonist is going through. The keys and synths are heavy and keep this mood dreamy like going through an incomprehensible maze, and it all perfectly stays in sync with the theme "Kya yeh woh raasta Laapata phir raha"Sarthak and Srijan penned the lyrics. His singing is evocative, and it feels like he is reaching for the stars, soaring high. The production and sound design Sarthak are impeccable, with Suprava Mukherjee on all the guitars and additional programming. The highlight for me is the vocal arrangements that come in like beautiful grunts and chants in the interlude, with Palak performing. The verse is all about his vocals and the engaging keys and rhythms feel like an AR Rahman production. The song gets elevated with the line "Kaisi yeh kashmakash hai", thanks to beautifully written notations and accompanying arrangements on keys and synths.The part felt like being caught up a whirlwind, and it all now comes to a peaceful end in the outro. The harmony arrangements are of stupendous quality with the backing vocalists singing "Kya yahi hai ghar mera, Kya meri daastaan". Salil Hangekar plays the flute and Akash Sharma is the musical assistant. The tracks are mixed and mastered by Prateek Kelkar.@sarthak.kalyani @palakart_ @salil_thepiedpiper @srijan.bhageria @vinita.m2596 @aisequalto453 @_theaudiophile_2. PashminaLyrics, Composer: Viraal Kumar Vocals: Jubin Nautiyal Production: Arya AcharyaLanguage: HindiGenre: Ballad PopMood: PathosAlong came this melody and I took notice. As the song progressed, I was enamoured by it even more and that is why it has ended up among the best Indian songs of week. The vocals are by Jubin Nautiyal who does a fine job when given a superb song like this. The gentle Piano and his voice are saddening as he sings "Piya tu kaahe, aisa dard chaahe" and when the high-pitched line is sung, we can feel the protagonist's pain. Viraal Kumar is the composer and the lyricist, kudos to him for penning such painfully beautiful lines words and cooking up a ballad to carry those words. Arya Acharya is the music producer, and he deserves credit for getting the arrangements spot on. Can you hear the strings playing in the background? They slowly but steadily intensify the pathos. The magic is in the brisk Pianos, which are constant and flow like a perennial river. My favourite segment is the line " Mere do naina" and the hair starts rising all over my arms. This time as we get to the verse, we have Jubin being accompanied by some Gospel-like harmonies. The entire team shines thanks to an all-round effort with vocals, writing, and production all coming out in fine style. The melody reminds me of the famous song " Ghar se nikalte hi" and may have traces of Raag YamanKalyan@instituteofmusic_ @aryaacharya @jubin_nautiyal 3.

If you are a musician submit your new music here.Here are the best songs released in India across languages and genres for the week ending 26th January 20251. Edho PesathaaneComposed, Arranged and Produced by Nivas K PrasannaLyrics: Vijay SethupathiVocals: Siddharth and Shilpa RaoLanguage: TamilGenre: Light Music/PopMood: RomanticNivas K Prasanna is one of my favourite young composers and he proves his mettle every time he is handed an opportunity. This time it is for a Kollywood album 'Bun Butter Jam'. Keba Jeremiah heats things on the guitars and bass, and then Akkarsh Kashyap's solo violin ignites the passion in the intro. The melody on the violin sounds a bit like Karthik Raja's brilliant song " Intha Siru Pennai". Can you feel the temperature rising? Well, that is thanks to Shilpa Rao giving a splendid and saucy performance on lead vocals. Finally, after many mediocre songs in Tamil, she gets something she deserves. Nivas has composed, arranged and produced music for this with Alex Samuel Jenito as the executive Music Producer and all additional programming was done by KA Surya Srihari. Is there some Raag Keeravani in the melody? Maybe. The lyrics are penned by 'Makkal Selvan' and acting supremo Vijay Sethupathi. The other actor to feature here in the song is Siddharth who lends this voice as the male singer. We have seen him perform in live shows and interviews and this is not a good show by the versatile artist.I love the interlude where we have the humming "thanna na thanna na than na" and the mild saxophone in the background. The stanza too builds on the beautiful melody already written with lines like "Vendatha Kelvi thaan, thandaatha kodu thaan". This is why Nivas stands out because he sits down to write good melodies with notes that can soothe you like the line " Baby Ne yen feel agura, Unnod Naan onnaguren". The recording engineers are Akash Mukherjee and Subhashree Das at Jam8 Studios, and the mixing/mastering engineer is Vinay S Hariharan. @nivas.k.prasanna @bhavyatrikha @raghavmirdath @raju_jeyamohan @rainofarrowsent @aadhiya_prasad @kebajer @shilparao @worldofsiddarth @akkarshkasyap @k.a.surya_srihari @jam8studio @subhashree.16 2. Raa Shalabangalayi NammalMusic Composed arranged and produced by Samuel AbyVocals: KS HarisankarLyrics: Manu ManjithLanguage: MalayalamGenre: Light Music-PopMood: RomanticWow! Can you feel the music? Sandeep Mohan's guitar riffs are enticing along with those mildly thumping rhythms, as we get into the racy pop single composed, arranged and produced by Samuel Aby. I am featuring him for the first time, I believe, but what a song to start off! Say no more, as the master vocalist arrives, and when KS Harisankar performs, you are on Cloud Number Nine, probably just like how Bryan Adams meant and intended that song!Manu Manjith's lines are beautiful, talking about the beautiful colours of the skies and the peacock feathers when describing the protagonist's lover. The best segment is when we cross over from the Pallavi to the anupallavi, and the vibrato on the first word "Raa" in the title line " Raa Shalabangalayi Nammal" is to die for. The interlude has Sandeep going solo on the electric guitar and he is also the bassist in the background. The melody is endearing in the interlude with the flute solo bit especially played by Josy Alappuzha. Samuel Aby is very impressive with the entire composition and I love the arrangements, the timely pauses like the one between the charanam and Pallavi. The outro ends stylishly with the flute solo. The recording engineers are Jisto George, Hariharan and Sanjay. Arjun B Nair is the mixing engineer and Balu Thankachan has done the mastering. @samuel_aby @harisankar_ks @anpodukanmani_movie @manumanjith_s @l.i.j.u.t.h.o.m.a.z @gibsandeep @josy_alappuzha @sanjay_811 @jisto_george@sethsethu @thebaluthankachan3.

If you are a musician submit your new music here.Here are the best songs released in India across languages and genres for the week ending 19th January 20251. MohSinger: Isheeta Chakravarty Composer, Producer: Project Damru Lyrics: Nawab Sadiq Jung Bahadur 'Hilm' Sitar: Soumitra ThakurLanguage: HindiGenre: Semi-classical PopMood: TrippyIsheeta Chakravarty will ensure that your focus is unswerving and remains loyal to her delivery. A stunning performer with immense character and abilities to move across genres, Isheeta delivers a hauntingly good semi-classical number here. The composition and production are by Ashish Jha a.k.a Project Damru and the ingenuity lies in adding so many layers of arrangements.The lyrics are penned by Nawab Sadiq Jung Bahadur 'Hilm'. The heavy keys and synths add to the mystery, but the Sitar by Soumitra Thakur gives the tranquillity that your heart desires. Soumitra goes on to bamboozle you with the solo in the interlude. The melody twists and turns and probably moves across many scales, I could sense some Raag Sindhubhairavi at some point. The end of the interlude makes me feel cathartic with the slowed-down tempo and one magical piece on the Sitar and Pianos together.Take a bow Project Damru for what you have created, here as we have harmonies and strings section working together and giving me the chills. The electronic-pop nature of the song is scintillating and only a musician of great vision and abilities can produce something of this quality. Kudos to Vipul Angrish who has mixed and mastered the tracks and Anindo Bose, Keshav Dhar for working as the recording engineers.  @projectdamru @soumitra_thakur @firstwav @isheeta.c @keshavdhar @anindobose @audiosol.in @clandestinelabindia2. BeganaMusic Composer - Raghav Chaitanya Singer - Raghav Chaitanya Lyrics - Raghav Chaitanya, Traditional Music Production By - Mir Desai Language: HindiGenre: PopMood: SoothingHe is a noteworthy talent, this Raghav Chaitanya. I have seen him perform with great eloquence as a lead vocalist for many composers, but he also shines as a composer like this one here. This single is written, composed and performed by Raghav and the song gets a facelift with the production thanks to Mir Desai. Ishan Das' gentle acoustic guitar and Raghav's soothing voice both treated us well in the intro and verse of the song. The accompanying vocal harmonies are stunning and my hair starts rising when I hear "Jazbaat ko samjhaana" with Aniruddh Anantha performing and designing the backing vocals. Raghav knows how to carry a song forward with his vocals, because he strikes you with the rawness, rather than overdoing any parts. The vibrato is mild but meaningful. The introduction of bass guitars and the Dholak is where the song makes a move into the next zone of enchantment. Ishteyak Khan plays the Dholak and Tabla, and Biswajit Chakraborty is the bassist. The line really hits you when he sings " kyun aankh milaayi thi, kyun aag lagayi thi". Wait for it, as the song moves into the chorus segment and we get an Indian rock flavour to the song now. Nawaz Hussain pumps it up with the drums and Ishan Das adds fuel to the fire with the electric guitars. Well done Mir Desai, on the arrangements and production. The amazement doesn't stop here as Bhagirath Bhatt sizzles on the Sitar solo in the interlude. Mir joins on additional backing vocals, and as the song progresses the interventions on the electric guitar, the Sitar and Aalap by Raghav combine and crackle together. I love the mild humming on the harmonies when we hear the line "Joh to ho wahi main hoon, bas farak zara sa hai". The recording engineers are Partha and Nishant at Euphony Studio. Shadab Rayeen is the mix and master engineer with Akash Sawant working on the team as well. @raghavchaitanya @tseries.official @kanikkakapur @tru_makers @mirdesai16 @ishandas_666 @bhagirath.bhatt @biswajitchakraborty_bass @ishteyakkhanofficial @shadanrayeen

Nee Ariyathoru (2024)Music Arranged Composed & Produced - Rahul Raj Lyrics - Rafeeq Ahamed Vocals - Suchith Suresan Language: MalayalamGenre: Light MusicMood: InspiringYou can call this a cracker of a song, and for that, I salute Rahul Raj, who has composed the melody, and done all the arrangements and music production for this. Suchith Suresan serenades you with his vocals and Sandeep Mohan's acoustic guitar follows gently in the background. As we come to the title line Rahul allows the wave of strings to affect us, thanks to the brilliant collective called "Arioso Quintet". Subin Kumar Sravan Krishnakumar, Nibu Mathew, Anil Antony, and Albin Jose play the Violins and Violas. Albin is the Cellist as well. The interlude is like a dream that you want to keep seeing forever, with the flow of violin solo and the violas and cello in the background, not to forget Sandeep's bass guitars and Rahul's keys and synths. The stanza makes a dramatic shift as we get a heavy electronic pop/synth pop texture to the song. "Kaarmukil niramaarilay" Suchith sings and the notes change so unpredictably with "chaayum ninnalaay", kudos to Rahul and Raafeq Ahamed for writing something like this, both in terms of melody and lyrics. The song makes you fly high with the subsequent line " ethoo mookamam smitham" accompanied by Sruthy Sivadas on backing vocals. I feel this one of Rahul Raj's best in the last year or so, and the song offers tremendous potential to uplift the listener's mood. You can do a little headbanging yourself towards the outro as we get a fabulous rhythm production bit by Rahul. The recording engineers are Santom 2barQ, Shiju Ediyatheril & Amal Raj @ Audiogene Sound Studios, Nikhil Kakkochan @ Freddys AVG (Strings) and John Mathews @ Pop Media House.

Raghav Hrishikeshan deserves praise for creating something beautiful, meaningful, and worthy. He handled all the arrangements, orchestration, and production, and that is no mean feat. We hear the Choir Ensemble right at the intro along with the flute solo by Sandeep Vashishta. The peace and tranquillity are undeniable, and within the first 45 seconds, Raghav proves his worth. The strings performed by the Budapest Scoring Orchestra Orchestration invite the listener deeper into this maze of orchestral music. Srikant Krishna makes his mark by preparing the score and Balasubramanian G is the Orchestra Coordinator. The melody begins and it is complex in writing, which only talented performers like Sathyaprakash Dharmar and Keerthana Vaidyanathan can deliver with precision and style. The vocalists sweeten the deal even more and we are reminded of songs like "En Iniya Pon Nilave" and "Mandram Vandha" by Maestro Ilaiyaraja. Thank you Raghav for writing such a fabulous melody and elevating it with terrific live instrumentals and a Symphony Orchestra. Keerthana performs the opening lines in the baritonish scale with some stunning bassline support and constant Choral and String section support. Keba Jeremiah can be heard playing all the guitars Nylon and STeel-string with the solid Napier Naveen on bass. The line that haunts me with its beauty is " manadhinil thondridum, mayakkamum karaindha pogum ura paniyena vilagidum". Preethi Venkatesan takes you to the world of these protagonists through her amazing lyrics. The voices we hear in the Choir Ensemble are Nayza Rose, Rebekah Alexander, Azriela Maben, Nidhi Samuel, Ryan Jacob, Chenjeri, Satvik, Abishek Gnanaraj and Devaraj Gopalakrishnan. As we head to the second interlude I am recalling the beauty, of Maestro Ilaiyaraja's "Oh Butterfly" in the tone and mood. Sandeep gives a Bluesy touch with his saxophone and Kuberan provides some energy through his percussion. The song transforms our mood and the whole team contributes with great efficacy. Raghav plays the keys and synths, and all the additional production is by Girish Lakshmanan. The recording engineers are Biju James, Abin Ponnachan at Studio UNO Records, Chennai and Nishant P Das at Euphony Records, Mumbai. Nitin Muralikrishna does the Stereo and Atmos mix and master for this. @raghav

If you are a musician submit your new music here.Here are the best songs released in India across languages and genres for the week ending 29th December 20241. Aaghaz-E-IshqMusic Composed and Produced by Satyajeet JenaSingers: Satyajeet JenaLyrics by Mrityunjay PandeyLanguage: HindiGenre: Sufi-PopMood: RomanticSatyajeet Jena comes out of nowhere and creates this Sufi stunner, and I am trying to take my mind away from the song to be able to pen the next word of the review. The song is classy, with oodles of melodic goodness and it is written and produced by Satyajeet, with lyrics by Mrityunjay Pandey. I am taken back to the Lord of Sufi Music in Indian movies i.e. AR Rahman. This is a massive compliment for this youngster who seems to be an insurmountable talent. The Harmonium plays mildly and then the gentle melody plays on the acoustic guitar thanks to Blesson Naik. Satyajeet programs the electric guitars, keys, bass and synths and the sound design and arrangements seem flawlessly beautiful. He wins your heart over with the delicate vocals. The interplay between the Harmonium, guitars, bass and Tabla is pure divinity. Could there be some Raag Bihag in the melody? or maybe some Raag Bilwal?The Tabla is played like a gentle heartbeat by Subhasish Satpathy. The interlude gives you a pop flavour and that sounds refreshing against the Sufi-esque verse.  The Tabla arrangements are done by Utkarsh Wankhede, the recording engineer is Puspak Sen Giri and Satyajeet is the mix/master engineer. The Sitar solo is another fine addition in the interlude and one must congratulate on Satyajeet's vision. I am reminded of gems like "Hoshwalon ko khabar Kya" when I hear Satyajeet perform the verse. The line " us se rishta mera kuch is tarah" is beautifully penned from a chord progression perspective and I would be remiss if I failed to put this song at the very top of Indian songs. Satyajeet has brought the perfect end to this fabulous year of music for me. @satyajeetjena_official @imrityunjay @satpathy_subhashish 2. Atom BombLyrics: KavirajVocals: Vijay Prakash and Vaish KannanComposed, Produced & Arranged by: Charanraj M RProgrammed by: Charanraj M RLanguage: KannadaGenre: Light MusicWe end the year with a solid romantic single from the master Charan Raj. He had an outstanding 2023 as a composer/producer and I hope 2025 is going to be another year of hearing more magic from him. The violins in the intro make me ponder about the similarities with "Horatta" from the amazing album 'Saptasagardache Ello Side A'. Narayan Sharma and Charanraj handle all the string and woodwind arrangements. The strings are played by Cochin Strings.Vijay Prakash is having a ball as a male vocalist singing with a swag. Viash Kannan complements him well as the female lead vocalist. The percussions and all rhythm arrangements make it a very catchy song, so kudos to Charan who does all the arrangements, programming and music production. As we listen to the melodious chorus segment "Atom Bom, Nee Nannu Atom Bomb", the strings delight us in the background. Sunil Sylvester is the guitarist and Venkatesh G Bhat is on bass. The interlude is where Charan is driving the song forward and upward, and Violin melody is a thing of beauty here. The stanza brings in a smile with the way Charan writes the melody, and the lead singers deliver it with a dash of romance. The lyrics are penned by Kaviraj. Pay attention to the strings and woodwinds in the background as Vijay sings " Vishwamitra naane, neenu Menaka", and I am taken back to the days of Maestro Ilaiyaraja. The playfulness in Vaish's singing as she performs the line "dumtaka dumtaka" brings cheerfulness to the listener. The recording engineers are Vishnuraj MR, Aniket Mohanty, Arjun and Ashwin Prabhath. Sujith Sreedhar is the mixing and mastering engineer.  @charanraj27185 @vijayprakashvp @vaish_offl @narayan_sharma227 @venkateshmusic_ @sujithsreedhar3.

If you are a musician submit your new music here.Here are the best songs released in India across languages and genres for the week ending 22nd December 20241. Ishq HaiSingers - Anurag Saikia, Romy, Amarabha Banerjee, Varun Jain, Madhubanti BagchiComposed & Produced By Anurag Saikia, Oblong SioniWritten By Raj ShekharLanguage: HindiGenre: Folk-RockMood: RomanticThis fabulous song comes from the album Mismatched Season 3 on Netflix. The reviews could be mixed, but the songs definitely stand out. I have done a full album review on my IG page, and this song by Anurag Saikia is undeniably the best in it. The melody starts off to charm and as we progress it gets even better, with some of the best notes coming in the verse. Anurag has written the melody and co-produced it with Oblong Sioni. We have a galaxy of singers adorning this track and this healthy union is delightful with Varun Jain, Amarabha Banerjee, Madhubanti Bagchi and Romy delivering their best. Kiran Vinkar plays the flute all along and Ralph Menezes is brilliant on bass, and the tabla engaging is and gives this folk-pop fusion more meaning. The combined vocals of Gauranga Shekhar, Ankur Jyoti, Keshab Baruah, Shrikant Krishna and PratikhyaaSarma singing "Ishq Hai yeh Ishq hai" will make even the stone-hearted fall in love. Madhubanti and Romy elevate the song with their astounding tones and unique thrusts. The verse feels cathartic when Madhubanti sings and this segment feels like Yamunakalyani in Carnatic, reminding me of AR Rahman's 'Varaha Nadikkarai oram". Anurag doesn't settle for less as he builds on a solid base of a melody and makes this song reach for the skies with such splendid notes like "pairon ke neeche se zameen udd rahi hai" and here I was sold and rendered speechless. Thank you Anurag Saikia for being true, and dedicated to the art!I recommend that you play this song right away and believe in the existence of love, music and goodness. Pankaj Borah has mixed and mastered the tracks at Neo Sound and Pranjal and Rupjit are the recording engineers at Playhead Studio.

Noolilla KarakkamMusic Composed, Arranged and Produced: Christy JobyVocals: Sreenath BhasiLyrics: Vinayak SasikumarLanguage: MalayalamGenre: Jazz-PopMood: InspiringTalk about a breathtaking intro, well, that is what you get with the Trumpets, flugelhorns, and Trombones played by Alessandro and Michele Fortunato. There is a feeling of being present in Madrid or Barcelona on the streets thanks to these terrific Brass and Nikhil Ram comes on and brightens your mood with the Flute solo. Christy Joby deserves massive credit for the composition, arrangements and production. Actor Sreenath Bhasi shows off his singing skills in the Anthony Dasan vibe. Anurag Rajeev Nayan plays the acoustic guitars, and his presence throughout keeps the song feeling light and groovy. The melody and tone remind me of AR Rahmans 'Kickku Yerudhe' from 'Padayappa'. When the line "Boothathan maaro, paavathan maaro" plays I observe two fantastic things viz. Sreenath's ability to sing in the lower vocal registers and the string quartet playing mildly thanks to Albin Jose. The rhythms get you into an upbeat mood and with the simultaneous layers of the Flute, Ocarina and Synths is a treat. Allan handles all the additional Piano and brass arrangements, with Keshav Vinod working on the additional chord arrangements. The haunting sound of the Ocarina by Nikhil Ram can be heard during the stanza when Sreenath sings "Nenjil, Murivu kondoru sheelam". This whole team has to be given a standing ovation for creating such a brilliant record that has so many outstanding layers. The chorus in the stanza and outro is performed by Lal Krishna, Christy Joby and also arranged by them. This could easily be one of the top Malayalam songs of 2024 for me. The tracks are mixed and mastered with great efficacy by Abin Paul. The recording engineers are Lal Krishna at Atlegato Records, Kochi, and Billian at Unity Studios, Calicut. @_christyjoby @hridhuharoon @surajvenjaramoodu @riyashibu__ @vinayaksasikumar @thinkmusicmalayalam @musthafa__actor @anna.raphy @anujith_18 @hrpictures__ @jobin__das @murathemovie @allanfromtheotherside @nikhilramtp @napier_naveen @punnya.pradeep @lal_music @ujwal_ks @finnykurian @keshavvinodofficial @albinjose.in @sreenathbhasi @anuragrajeevnayan
