45 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

After two decades making his name as a composer and singer in Kannada’s Sandalwood film industry, Arjun Janya turns movie director for the fantasy action flick 45. He also crafts the film’s soundtrack and uses the voices of its stars across the OST, including Shiva Rajkumar, Upendra and Raj B. Shetty. Janya matches the energy and aura of the high-stakes film in his music, invoking spiritual themes on “Shivam Shivam Sanaatanam” and drafting in rapper MC Bijju for relentless stomper “AFRO TAPAANG”. “45 The Arrival” is equally powerful, featuring bars from Rahul Dito over fierce electro-rock.
