Music review of Dhruv Ghanekar's coke studio

Coke studio is an excellent platform for young and budding musicians to show off their talent and it has developed many singers since it has started. This episode is the 3rd this season after 2 great ones by Amit Trivedi and Sachin- Jigar. Let us see what is in store for us.

Nimoli- The song starts off with a very mysterious sound and then enters the experienced Ila Arun and then turns out to be a treat for folk music lovers and you feel instantly addicted and in love with the song and the fusion of western English rap with Rajasthani folk is surely a beautiful feeling to the ears and this song is a song I would repeat 20 times at a time. Surely one should listen to it and the frequent tara tara ta adds plenty to this great piece of music. Classsssssy!!!!!!!! is what I call this . 4 minutes and 12 seconds is too short and I am ready to listen to this for at least 10 minutes.

Birha-  It starts with a pretty gujrati folky feel and then you are directly transferred to a very African tribal environment and then a pretty folky feel once again with some western lounge music in the background constantly and then the singer starts singing in English. This song is surely a classy affair and I really loved it. The fusion is again great between Gujrati, African and Western music and the listener will surely love this song and both singers Kalpana and Sonia have done really well . I would recommend this song for all people who like different music .

Ae Rab- The song starts off with some  basic Indian classical and then begins the melody and clamness of the song and this is a type of song Papon would sing generally and is the most conventional and filmy of the 3 and people who still prefer non-folky music and want some melody will prefer this song. Master saleem with his classical singing is the best part of this song. The music becomes faster at the ending of the song and the song ends well.

This album is a very classy soundtrack and will surely go on well with people who love folk and classical music but if you enjoy dance numbers and rap, this album may not cater to your taste but surely one can give it a go.

My picks- All 3 songs

Rating- 4 stars out of 5
