I was listening to Raincoat yesterday night, and keep falling in love with it all over again all the time...
If you had to pick up 5 albums in recent years that you thought were of exceptional quality but did not work because of market forces/changing trends/anything else, what would those be? For me, it would be:
Raincoat - Debojyoti Misra
Just adore 'Piya tora kaisa abhimaan' and 'Mathura Nagarpati', the music of Raincoat surely grows on you 👍🏼👍🏼
Paheli - MM Kreem
'Dheere jalna' haunts me all the time, 'Khaali hai tere bina' is brilliant as well 👏👏
Yahaan - Shantanu Moitra
'Naam adaa likhna' is exceptional, 'Urzu doorkut' very refreshing (music-wise) and really cryptic (lyrics wise 😛 - Dawn is yet to explain the lyrics for me 😉)
Lakshya - Shankar Ehsaan Loy
I think 'Kitni baatein' is one of the best romantic numbers for a long long time 😳, 'Kandhon se milte hai kandhen' is the best war song of recent times I can think of right now
Zubeidaa - A R Rehman
Though a little older than the rest, this is one of the few ARR albums with brilliant music and little success 😭, just love 'Dheere Dheere gaun' and 'Hai naa' 😊
