Last year Max Life
Insurance teamed up with Universal Music
India for organising a contest called “I-Genius
Young Singing Stars Competition” and the outcome of the contest were two
young singers “Shraddha Shree” and “Mohit Ahuja” , both of them exceptionally
talented!
First I will talk
about Shivam Ahuja’s album which is titled “Malanga.”
The music of the album has been provided by Gulraj Singh and lyrics are by Manoj
Yadav.The first song “Purwaiyya” is a
duet which features both Shivam and Shraddha.Shivam’s voice has a husky tone and
slowly grows on you as you listen to it for a couple of times.Talking about the
song,it’s prelude is soothing and breezing which amazingly turns into a
beautiful song that is full of energy! A “bang-on” opening track!Perfect
opportunity to flaunt the vocals and Shivam grabs it with both his hands!The
next song is “Bairi Bajrangi” that is
full of some divine ,philosophical lyrics and the way Shivam handles it is commendable.There
is also a reprise version of the song which belongs to Gulraj Singh completely!The
reprise version has got some beautiful piano based instrumentation which
enhances it’s beauty.The next track to follow is the title track “Malanga” ,which is your typical filmy
song that you will enjoy for sure .It’s reprise version is also fantastic and
the chorus that plays towards the end in both the songs is wonderful.
Now I will talk
about Shraddha Shree’s album titled “Shukriya.”It also opens with the track “Purwaiyaa”
and by the time the song is over you are completely awestruck by the maturity
that she exhibits through her vocals! I was really shocked that how can a young
singer bring so much maturity but as they say , “ Talent knows no age.” The
next track to follow is “Shukriya” which belongs not only to Shraddha but also
to Gulraj.His music is very engaging.The reprise version of the song is again
based on piano instrumentation and is a sheer delight to listen.Shraddha’s
voice gets more mature and powerful in “Khuda Mere” where she sings the alaaps
and a wonderful antara with ease!The reprise version is equally awesome providing
a new dimension to the song!Sheer grandeur!
Overall
I would like to say that you must listen to both albums! I am definitely sure
that you will love them.
Rating – Well I
don’t think any rating or picks should be given because this is a special
album!Both of them are young ,talented singers who deserve your love and
appreciation.So give them all your love and appreciation and support them by listening and buying
the album! Also kudos to Universal Music and Max India Life Insurance for providing them such a wonderful platform!We all are thankful to you for providing us with such supremely talented singers!
