Namee (Times Music)
This pop-rock album is a blend of love songs, and features Mumbai-based singer Ritika Sahni, originally from Calcutta. This is her second album, and the tracks cover the various stages of love a woman goes through.
To her credit, Sahni is also an active social worker and a disability activist. Influences on this album include jazz and Indian folk; her next album reportedly will be in Bengali.
Our picks among the 8 tracks of this album include the opening piece Bheeni Bheeni and the soul version of More ghar aao sajna.
