Music review: Rose

Film: Rose
Music director: Anoop Seelin
Rating: 3 stars
This is an album where the music grows on you. The fact that most of the numbers are slow, melodious, romantic ones is probably the reason for the same. What does stand out and is deserves many a listen are the unplugged versions of two of the numbers – Navilugariyondu (sung by Haricharan) and Sorry Ri Sorry (sung Anoop Seelin and Swetha).The regular versions of these numbers see a change in vocal talent.
The album starts off with Ye Huduga, sung by Shreeram Chandra and Supriya Lohith, is a melodious number. One can trip on the use of a few rare music instruments – something that has been missing from the scene ever since the power of the keyboard took over the music industry here.
Yenla Boddade is the album’s fun flirty number – one that successfully merges North Karnataka dialect as lyrics with western riffs. There’s also a small riff that reminds you of PSY’s work in this one. Voices of singers Raj Guru and Varijashree Venugopal seem perfect for the fusion number.
