Hare Ram - Music Review

Mickey J Mayer-- A wiff of Fresh Air
I remember Sekhar Kammula comparing him to Rehman during happy days release, i would not affirm on that but
in more than one ways i would say he is on the right path to getting into that terrotory. the single best cvharacter i like is
his experimentation. his happy days was a stand out hit, if you see his new movie Hare Ram he does not stick to the general style of music for the very same routine set of songs that we are som much to have in our movies
like a hero intro song a rap, a song about inspiring yourself. his treatment comes out as a Wiff of Fresh air. second thing thats good about him is his richness in instrumentation only mani could do it in our industry and now htis guy does look like he is doing it better for an instance we can listen to hare ram
song.

the first song NASHA felt like the heros introduction song, and having heard fast beat songs for this type of a song but the way he treated the song with an underlying beat and good instrumentation is comendable for simply sounding so cool and funky. a good strong with good lyrics.

the second song SAREGA PADANE has great lyrical value and Mickey did a great job in highlighting them and having that underlining beat in the sing which helps in not loosing the tempo in the song at any point of time, i have to admit that Karthiks was does haunt us about the Happy Days song but these days that happens to me when ever karthi comes up with a slow number

YAKHUDA ZARA DEKHO NA the next song sounds great when the male voice takes over and again is a feel good songs and would definelty hit it big if the movie makes it big, then again its a duet where Mickeys tune highlights the lyrics and still has moments of great beats.

JAIRAM the rap song rendered by Mickey himself(if i am not wrong) is one gets on to you when you start listening to the album and has its peak when the words "garam garam" come and the sitar music in between is also good. i loved the treatment of this song as well.

Use of electric instruments in the next number LALIJO gives it best moments with lyrics stand out again, a song which may stay low untill the video comes out when comapred to the other songs but surely will hit big as it catches on, peopel who liek slow songs may get on to it instantly, the best part aboiut mickeys music is that his slow songs do not loose their tempo at any point of time.

The last number the title track speaks volumes about Mickeys capacity to have huge orchestra and richness

His music for me sound original with a next generation instrumentation and a different treatment and at the same time not killing the lyrics and the tempo. i am sure he is here to stay.

Rating - 3.5/5
