‘What Goes Around Comes Around’ by Arnab Sengupta conveys its messages through quiet expression rather than loud declarations. This fifth studio album merges the sounds of jazz and soul with quiet introspection to create a deeply personal and grounded experience. The eight tracks on the album serve as transparent views into private reflections while using smooth melodies and warm instrumentation as their backdrop. Talented musicians Wagner Barbosa on saxophone and Guilherme Andrades on flute create space for Arnab’s voice to breathe and reflect. The production maintains a polished quality that stays subtle enough to allow emotions to remain at the forefront.
“Here’s My Life” starts the album with a personal introduction that combines vulnerability and openness within a consistent jazz rhythm. The song “In Time For The Spring” evokes gentle optimism while perfectly balancing sorrow with hope similar to a sunbeam that appears late in the afternoon. “What Goes Around Comes Around” represents the central piece of the album. The marriage of meaningful lyrics and smooth jazz style delivers Arnab’s mature themes of self-reflection. The song “Love Can’t Bring Me Down” relies on its rhythmic foundation and steadfast lyrical resilience to achieve elevation without increasing volume. “Windmills Of The Mind” embraces its reflective mood and flows with daydream-like qualities through its gentle flute sounds and subdued percussion.
The last three tracks conclude the album with elegance. The song “A New Reality” introduces fresh textures while preserving the fundamental sound of the album. “My Time Has Come” marks a turning point that combines tranquility with self-assurance and a feeling of homecoming. “In Too Deep” concludes the album with an intimate atmosphere that gracefully winds things down through gentle honesty. Arnab Sengupta’s music here maintains subtlety yet leaves a lasting impression through its understated songs that reward attentive listeners with deeper revelations upon each play.
