Lead single “Jai Durge Durgatipariharini” and “Maharaj Bhavani Bramhabhuvan Ki Rani” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. After debuting at No. 1 last week, Bhimsen Joshi, Shruti Sadolikar’s album Shakti Bhaktimala - Disc 1 falls to No. 2 with 275,000, a sales slide of 92%. Bhimsen Joshi, Shruti Sadolikar’s debut, ‘Shakti Bhaktimala - Disc 1′, does not fit easily into one genre. This is one of the best cd’s i have heard through the whole thing.
Bhimsen Joshi, Shruti Sadolikar rocks harder than ever with Maharaj Bhavani Bramhabhuvan Ki Rani. Musically Sharada Vidyadani Dayani is superior to other tracks in Shakti Bhaktimala - Disc 1. Jai Jagdishwari Mata Saraswati is new, fresh, and hypnotizing. This track is nearly perfect if not perfect. Aarti Kijiye Shailsutha Ki as a highlight of Shakti Bhaktimala - Disc 1 contains a ton of exquisite melodies. Parvati Devi Mahamayavini is so unique, as each one of the songs is.
