Dance Raja Dance is a collection of South Indian film music from the composer and music director Vijaya Anand. The album is set off by the quirky "Dancing Is Beautiful," a slinky dance number with blatant infusions of electronic drums, a groovy bassline, a male-female vocal exchange that never locks into harmony, and a positively unexpected sample of '60s fuzz guitar.
Never lacking texture, there is a constant traffic of various instruments, swiftly moving between "synthesizers, jazzy brass, tablas, guitars, violins, etc.," though the boiling energy of the album offers little respite or contemplation, much like a Broadway soundtrack at times.
