Jajabori, by Rishi Bora
The song: - A tremendous dark saga of finding yourself featuring Lima Das and Arghadeep Baruah, the pair we last saw on critically acclaimed Aamis. “Jajabori” is a gloomy Progressive rock number that plucks the strings of your heart in your darkest moments. A dark and gritty song, with a story that tales the tale of a wandering heart solving the puzzles of life.
Lyricism and composition: - Lyricism is well executed and composition shines on. Taking inspiration from the likes of Steven Wilson, Brandon Boyd, Mikael Akerfeldt and David Gilmour, the song has a psychedelic and progressive rock undertone in its composition but also dives Into the realm or post rock and modern Assamese rock fusion.
Sound and Performance: - Production is an ace here so is the acting by Lima Das and
Arghadeep. The video’s climax has a twist where Lima Das is seen playing a dual character forcing her to work down and up the stair to wind up a tangled yearn once again. Re-telling the age old tale of how one must struggle in their lives to put together the pieces of puzzles.
Overall Experience: - Lately I have one of the best performance by an Artist. If this is the revival they are calling it, then Assamese music has a future. An honest 9.5/10
