Heavy Rotation: Ankit Tiwari, Gopi Sundar & Hiphop Tamizha

Recent listens from Ankit Tiwari, Gopi Sundar and Hiphop Tamizha...

Ishq Mubarak, Teri Fariyad, Dil Nawaziyaan (Ankit Tiwari, Tum Bin 2) - Ankit Tiwari resurrects Teri Fariyad in all its ghazal glory with Rekha Bhardwaj's vocals to boot, while Dil Nawaziyaan carries with it a breezy orchestration that's hard not to like. Ishq Mubarak on the other hand is a oh-so-gorgeous rhythmically charged qawwali. Plus it also helps that Arijit Singh takes it to another level with his soulful rendition.

Neela Shankhu Pushpame (Gopi Sundar, Team 5) - Gopi Sundar's latest musical effort Team 5 is more miss than hit, but he redeems himself to a certain extent in the semi-classical-rock fusion Megha Pakshi sung by Madhu Balakrishnan. But it's Neela Shankhu Pushpame that works best, aided by a mellifluous arrangement that Divya Menon glides through effortlessly.

Kaththi Sandai Theme (Hiphop Tamizha, Kaththi Sandai) - Hiphop Tamizha serves a pulse-racing techno instrumental thoroughly enlivened by them frenzied strings! A blasé soundtrack otherwise.
