The three hundred and fourtieth album: #340 Rahul Dev Burman - Shalimar
While the idea of a Bollywood album didn't immediately appeal to me, I was won over by the delight and joy of its second track, One Two Cha Cha Cha. It's a happy song, more poppy than you'd think, and it stands up well on its own. Other tracks don't do it as well, with tracks like Countess Caper having an ending that feel like they need the visuals to really make sense, but even then it feels like the album meets the middle ground of featuring the sounds you expect from a Bollywood album mixed with a good pop track. It's a decent album, quite surprising compared to what I was expecting, but this makes me want to go back and listen to more.
