10 Things We loved about Angana Morey By Shreya And Soumyadeep Ghoshal

10 things we loved about Angana Morey blog just because Angana Morey hit a massive 10 million views on YouTube in just two weeks! Organic and sincere views, your honor! 

1) Shreya Ghoshal turned into a lyricist for Angana Morey. She is also the composer for this song. Officially her second single as a composer! 

2) The entire video was shot and edited keeping in mind the covid norms. And it still manages to enslave us with its visual appeal. 

3) Soumyadeep features in the video of a single for the first time, as he produces the music yet again! 

4) Shreya successfully turns a semi classical raga based bandish into a song to cater the music sensibilities and knowledge of all age groups and it actually hits the right chords! 

5) Shreya makes it to the second position on Thriller Billboard globally! 

6) Shreya dives deep into promotion of the song by arranging back to back interviews, interactions with listeners and all of the interviewers garland her with appreciations, rightfully for her masterpiece! 

7) For the first time, Shreya speaks her heart out as a liberated and free bird in all the interviews, all thanks to the success and receiving of Angana Morey. 

8) The last portion of the song Angana Morey is beyond what possibly any set of words could explain. That is going down to remain untouched by all the covers you'll come across on YouTube. 

9) The multiple reaction videos across the globe received by Angana Morey is baffling. An Indian rooted musical composition does have the power to relate and connect with audience worldwide. 

10) The butterflies. I cannot not talk about how the butterflies🦋 that emerge and submerge into Shreya produce butterflies and goosebumps in the souls of a true music lover!

A Fan review of Angana Morey by Shreya Ghoshal and Soumyadeep Ghoshal

Left at the behest to play redundant remixed, recreated, shallow music, the need for novelty and originality is stemming in the comment boxes of YouTube videos where the labels are even being forced to keep the dislike button hidden. Is it that the music sensibilities and taste has parched from the listeners? Or is it that such playlists are merely coercive and shoved into listener's ears? One of the first musicians to question this was Shreya Ghoshal.

After continually reigning in the hearts and chartbusters for last two decades, Shreya was keen on trying to present lesser heard Indian music, believing in her own instinct and her true music lovers. With each of her independent single being released, a novel area was touched upon. Angana Morey is no different.Angana Morey is unadulterated deeply rooted and semi classical yet proudly flaunts the electronica. 

A bandish converted into song and beautifully penned by Shreya herself, Angana Morey can boost of being lyrically upright and sincere; devoid of objectification, misogyny or patriarchy in its tones. The honest yearning of a separated couple comes across with ease, as the lyrics easily holds onto your mind. A soulful, mellifluous track you could play just anytime of the day and it would just fit right.

Angana Morey is vocally the tornado you were aware of but never prepared for. It grows stronger with every passing second, and when it dies off quenching the thirst of rich music, only to leave your eyes in salinity. The number of variations that Shreya must've sung between 00:00 to 3:46 minutes is imaginable since we know her massive talent but it leaves me pondering as how did she choose from those titanic recordings as to which should be given the green and which to be eliminated. It's a dilemma no composers would like to be trapped in.

But, Shreya the Composer aces it like a pro. The transitions of Raagas are smooth as is the infusion of electro music. They blend with each other comfortably as Soumyadeep produces some magical sparks. The richness and royalty of orchestration leaves you baffled as are the instrumentalists:- the table, the flute, the strings section. It makes you wonder as to why would we underutilize our raw talented musicians by not creating newer songs.

The visual treat beholds your eyes as you breathe the butterflies into your substance; and sob over the pain and longing of sweethearts. Be it the falling angel like damsel or butterflies radiating into and from Shreya, the direction and VFX department leave no scope for errors. The couple performing contemporary dance form, cement the tangerines life bestows you with. Soumyadeep walking in the most blissful scenic route with the guitar and taking the poetic liberty of playing it with no wires attached at mountain top, bring you seamless smiles. The last portion of the song is the highlight where Shreya the singer shadows the video. But, it's still a win win situation! Throughout the video Shreya looks glorious; sometimes wearing the sophisticated looks while sometimes swaying like a magical fairy, transcended to narrate stories of ardour. 

A well served delicacy you'll enjoy each day including your cheat days. With gearing up to hit over 4 million organic views on YouTube in 4 days, this is the victory of trueness and sincerity. A warrant that good music exists and so do true music lovers.
