Raghav Sachar in Female Playback in One Two Three


Comedy films in Bollywood do not demand a very strong soundtrack, but when the music of a comedy film is composed by a talented musician like Raghav Sachar, the importance of strong music makes itself felt.

The young man behind the successful music of Kabul Express returns with a new sound and a whole new attitude in ONE TWO THREE. Raghav Sachar, who debuted as a film composer in 2006's Kabul Express and who recently guest composed the song 'Manzar' (Sunday) and released his latest album entitled Play It Loud, is back in fine form to deliver a set of tunes that will have your lips moving and body grooving.

Raghav, who is known for his immense talent as a musician, proves with ONE TWO THREE that he is going to introduce the nation to a new style of sound and a new age in groove melody. His will to break musical traditions and establish a more artistic commercial appeal with his work is solidified with this release. Raghav Sachar, put plain and simple, is the future of Indian Film Music - and it's a very bright one indeed!

Raghav kicks off the album on a rocking note with One Two Three (Hip Hop). Just as the title suggests, the song belongs uniquely to the Indee hip-hop genre. Yet, as generic as the genre is, Sachar lines the beat with some heavy percussion, which gives the music its own personal touch. The rough n' tough arrangements, which remain a comforting constant throughout the song, are once again highlighted by Sachar's husky, yet catchy, melody - rendered by Kunal Ganjawala and Raghav himself. Raghav is the clear high-point in the rendition, since he plays a stunning double role as male and female vocalist. His stanza is slightly reminiscent of the melody in his previous song, Manzar, but the similarities end there.
