SARABHAM SONGS REVIEW

The album begins with a distinct flavor of fusion between Carnatic music, folk and modern orchestration. The electronic effects in the first interlude create an unsettling atmosphere. The second interlude has a dash of fusion with distorted guitar and sitar sections.

The eerie ambience continues with a solo track sung by the diva Usha Uthup. Electric guitars along with the growing string section joins hands with the punchy rhythm of the drum track. Known best for her racy songs and disco grooves Usha Uthup is drawn towards the dark side on this song.

A brighter song appears in the form of this composition that’s richer in melody compared to the other songs on the album. Andrea Jeremiah gives a stylish rendition supported well by Britto Michael. Britto throws up interesting electronic grooves but its clarity seems to be lost in the mix.

The theme track is a heavy concoction of straight up hard rock riffs and rhythms. More percussions are introduced to add to the intensity of the strings.
