Music Review (Telugu): Taxiwala

Music Review (Telugu): Taxiwala
Music Composer: Jakes Bejoy 

Ladies and Gentleman's rock and roll tune easily breeze through in the vocals of Hemachandra and the composer himself. The arrangements are spot on with easily hummable lyrics by Krishna Kanth while the intermittent humming amidst the screeching guitar makes this one an engaging listen. Maate Vinadhuga rides on the catchy title hook and enchanting techno sounds which are consistently engrossing especially with the sitar solos. Though the track doesn't come close to the Sid Sriram's best for Vijay Devarakonda, the singer able to pull off the tune effectively. Jakes Bejoy ups the ante with the bluegrassy Crazy car and the arrangements by the composer are top notch especially the trumpets and keys. The ebullient soundscape with absolutely enchanting interludes and Revanth Kumar's singing makes this one an easily crazy ride in the album. Jakes Bejoy ends the soundtrack with the melancholy Neeve Neeve where Shreya Goshal rules the strings-laden tune brilliantly.

Verdict: Jakes Bejoy makes his commendable Telugu debut befitting the soundtracks produced by the composer this year in Malayalam.

My Rating: 7.5/10

Pick of the Album: Crazy Car, Maate Vinadhuga, Ladies and Gentleman
