Album: Go
Music: Sneha Khanwalkar
Available on: Big Music
Go’ is a Ram Gopal Varma flick about two lovers who run away from home and go on an adventure trip. This provides the kind of backdrop for the nature of music of the album scored for most part by Sneha Khanwalkar. ‘Kaash’ is a slow melodious song sung by Farhad Bhiwandiwala and Priyadarshini. ‘Ooh’ is a staccato-paced song with electro-laced music sung by Vinod Rathod and Sunidhi Chauhan. Both these songs have a remix version by Amar Mohite.
The title song, ‘Go’ is a racy song heavy on percussion and is sung by Kunal Ganjawala, Meenal Jain and Suzanne and ‘So cool’ is rather an unimpressive duet by Kunal Ganjawala and Suzanne. ‘Dhan tan tan’, a duet by Kunal and Sneha also has a remix version by DJ Aqueel. Overall the music is average and there isn’t a single track which will set the town on fire.
