The first single from 'Uppena' is out, on Aditya Music. Here we present its review. The other songs will be reviewed as and when they are out.
Nee Kannu Neeli Samudram
Singer: Javed Ali
Lyrics: Shreemani (Telugu), Raqueeb Alam (Hindi)
Devi Sri Prasad blends the Aalap style with his mainstream modern music to bring out this soothing as well as a somewhat boisterous melody. Srikanth Chandra's Hindi vocals kick off the song, with Javed Ali taking the baton forward with melodic ease. Shreemani's lyrics are full of life. The line 'Nee oohale, oopiraina picchodini, nee oopire praanamaina pilladini' is high in terms of touching meaning. An appropriate song that positions 'Uppena' as a musical love story laced with intense emotions.
Ranguladdhukunna
Singers: Yazin Nizar, Haripriya
Lyricist: Sreemani
Sreemani's lyrics are unorthodox somewhat. For a romantic duet, lines like 'Mana jaada thelipe, nelanu paathi pedadham' is one such example. Yazin Nizar and Haripriya effectively bring out the unconventional mindset of the lovers that the lyrics project. Devi Sri Prasad chooses a female singer with an ultra-soft voice for a reason. It matches the looks of Krithi Shetty, the debutante.
