"Asha Bhosle: Love Supreme"
AshaBhosle
(Time Square Records)
AshaBhosle, the illustrious Indian singer whom Hollywood actresses have lip-synched to for years, never ceases to amaze with her versatile voice. Bhosle's latest two-disc Hindi language CD, titled "Asha Bhosle: Love Supreme" treats audiences to not only her in terpretation of newly-recorded ro mantic renditions created from Urdu and Persian but also gives them eight bonus tracks on the second CD of some of Bhosle's favorite duets from Bollywood movies of yore.
The second CD also includes two music videos. However, the ghazals are what define the CD. The eight love songs include a mixture of pop, funk, jazz and many more musical gen res, but Bhosle's voice outshines all accompa nying background music. Her talent as a vocal artist is redefined on the first song, "Sarakti Jaye Hai (Ahista Ahista)" or "It's Slipping Away Slowly, Slowly," and beautifully progresses through the last, eclectic-sounding song "Chupke Chupke" or "Quietly, Quietly"
Although it seems older generations tend to appreciate ghazals more than today's youth, Bhosle's voice, along with the "lounge-type" music, caters to all ages and reminds audi ences of why Bhosle is often labeled a living legend in the music industry. 03/31/06
