Ram Gopal Varma's (RGV) music doesn't always get the cash registers
ringing,yet his thriller background scores always make a mark. With
his next film "Go", this, too, fails to happen. Let's see
how.
Sneha Kanwalkar composes and croons "Dhan tan tan" along
with Kunal Ganjawala, a song which is completely musical, not in the
sense that it is high on melody but in the sense that the arrangements
in the track are just too many. Agreed that using a lot of instruments
make a track turn out pretty good at times, but not here where they
get all muddled up.
The title track, "Go", tends to be quite a downer as it doesn't
have the zing necessary for a title song. Composed by Sneha and penned
by Nakul M,"Go" has Kunal crooning to it but with Suzanne
and Meenal Jain this time.
The title track is a bummer.
"Kaash" comes in next and has some shades of being composed
under the RGV banner. The arrangements are thankfully milder here giving
the audience some space to listen.
Rendered by Sunidhi Chauhan and Vinod Rathod, "Oooh" is up
next. It aims at being seductive, passionate and sensual, and "Oooh"
does that but only in the way such songs usually turn out in Ram Gopal
Varma's flicks. Milind's lyrics can go take a hike but then what poetic
words can one really expect from such a track?
Next is "So cool". It is a song that wouldn't go down well
with the crowd either, as it just doesn't hold interest.
Not one track in the album makes for repeat listening.
The new talents that one gets to hear in this soundtrack needed to
make their break elsewhere, not in a RGV film where instruments talk
louder than vocals. Anyone who manages to get by even the first few
tracks of the album will give "Go" a thumbs down.
