Music Review: Ishtakamya (Kannada)
Composer(s): B. Ajaneesh Loknath
Listen to the songs online here: YouTube (Anand Audio)
There is something very Ilaiyaraaja'esque about Nee Nanagoskara amidst the contemporary soundscape that Ajaneesh employs, while in the soul-stirring Naa Ninage, Chintan Vikas's affecting rendition easily overpowers the other short, relatively weaker variant sung by Mukthiyar Ali. Shreya Ghoshal is at her singing best in the mellifluous Thangali (that sax against tabla in the second interlude is just wow!), and for the strings-laden Payanadalli, Ajaneesh ropes his Gatiya Ilidu-singer Vijay Prakash to do the singing honours, who does it with inimitable élan. The situational Chinthe Yavudu brings the curtain down on a sombre note, although with passably engaging vocals from Nagathihalli Chandrashekhar. From the techno-heavy Akira, Ajaneesh Loknath takes a step back with a melody-heavy Ishtakamya.
