Music Review (Telugu): Shailaja Reddy Alludu

Music Review (Telugu): Shailaja Reddy Alludu
Music Composer: Gopi Sundar


Anu baby is a passable song where Krishna Kanth's lyrics sound to be misfit one for the tune especially 'Anu bomb', Magishasura marthini hook. However, Gopi Sundar keeps the song afloat with huge support from Suresh Parameshwar's guitar work. Gopi Sundar reuses his Koyikode tribute to the title song with more punchy Sathyavathi (Mangli) vocals and the buoyant tune is an easy winner. Gopi Sundar adorned the song with an engaging foot-tapping arrangements. In Egiregire, Sid Sriram's vocals continuous to be out of place especially his diction and the tune is not Inkem Inkem Kaavale to overcome these minor grouses in the lead singer's vocals. However, Gopi turns the arrangements into an awesome one with the atmospheric breezy flavour accentuated by Josy Alapy's flute solos which instantly makes the listener also to fly along with lyrics. Pelli Pandhiri is another easy winner from Gopi and the composer beautifully segues the title song musical cues in the prelude and interludes and also in Charanam portions. The traditional Chenda rhythm and Vijay Yesudas's brilliant vocals work to its song's favour. Thanu Vethukini is a listenable melody in Satya Yamini's vocals and despite the pleasant tune, composer's arrangements with flute and Francis Xavier's violin solo in the second interludes steals the show. Gold Rangu Pilla (surprisingly released only in Saavn) is a typical Telugu commercial movie friendly mass track which doesn't work as a standalone track.

Verdict: Maruthi Dasari's reunion with Gopi Sundar in Shailaja Reddy Alludu is rewarding enough, although the tracks didn't reach the Bhale Bhale Magadivoy's high.

My Rating: 8/10

Pick of the Album: Shailaja Reddy Alludu, Pelli Pandhiri, Egiregire 

P.S You can listen to the songs in Saavn
