You've Stolen My Heart: Songs from R. D. Burman's Bollywood,
by Kronos Quartet
I know, the whole Bollywood thing is
so over now, but I couldn't resist this one. I love the Kronos Quartet's take on
pop music, so I was really looking forward to this disc. They have taken the
music of Bollywood films, sung by Asha Bosle herself, and put their own spin on
it. For those who need an introduction, Asha Bosle is the actual female singer
in most Bollywood musicals. She was also immortalized in song by the
Anglo-Indian band Cornershop with the song "Brimful of Asha (on the 45.)" Though
known as a classical group, this disc isn't what most people would think of as
classical music. It's got more of a dance beat to it. I found it thoroughly
enjoyable.
