Over ten years ago, Suzanne Vega hit a terribly sexy groove with an album called Nine Objects of Desire that made me seek out every CD she has done since then. She’s kept us waiting for six years for her new studio effort, but it’s such vintage Vega that the reward is well worth the wait.

The first thing to note on Beauty & Crime is that producer Jimmy Hogarth and mixer Tchad Blake  have tuned the album’s tracks entirely to suit Vega’s rather inflexible, breathy voice. With the sonic help, Vega is freed up to focus on enunciating the layers behind her lyrics. Yet Hogarth and Blake also manage to seed each song with finely crafted arrangements and subtle hooks that make them musically interesting.

Although Vega uses a large canvas to record her ruminations, her most touching songs are those that are personal. On “Ludlow Street” she quietly mourns the passing of her brother: “I find each stoop and doorway’s incomplete/without you there”.

On the superbly produced “Bound”, she seems to be confirming her longtime friend Paul Mills’s continuing interest in her after her divorce from Michael Froom in 2001. On “As You Are Now” she manages – against all odds - to fit in a parent’s love for her child in four sweet verses.

April 30 will be marked as one of the darkest days in Hindi Cinema when we lost one of the greatest actors and celebrated performers, Rishi Kapoor. The legendary star passed away on April 30 in hospital after a two-year battle with leukaemia. Ever since then, his family members have been sharing his unseen and old pictures to keep him alive.

He can never fade away, his films can never be forgotten, and his songs can never get old or stale. Kapoor's was a persona that we describe as contagious and his contribution to Cinema is evergreen. Coming to evergreen, Kareena Kapoor Khan shared a priceless picture of the star who had the company of Randhir Kapoor, Babita Kapoor, and the legendary music composer, R.D. Burman.

She hasn't written a long post, only used one word to describe the man- Irreplaceable. And she's truly right! Neetu Kapoor and Riddhima Kapoor had their hearts on the post, and again, rightly so. Have a look right here:

Rishi Kapoor made his debut in 1970 with his father Raj Kapoor's Mera Naam Joker and rose to fame with Bobby in 1973, also directed by Raj Kapoor. For 25 years, he was the epitome of romance and charm. And as years passed by, he began displaying his unseen side that had a versatile performer. With films like Agneepath, Kapoor & Sons, Aurangzeb, Do Dooni Chaar, and Luck By Chance, he began what was one of the finest phases of his career. He went away too soon!
