Early 1990s brought a new cultural evolution to the urban youth of Manipur. The arrival of MTV and other entertainment channels had a major impact. Western lifestyle and fashion entered the drawing rooms of most urban towns via the satellite television. Young people began adopting a new flavour of life that conjures up an imitated aspect of western style. Amateur rock bands mushroomed in every corner of little towns adding qualitative and quantitative taste to an already rocking talented band of bands. Beauty pageants and fashion shows became a hot trend among young people. This trend was simultaneous accompanied by increasing cultural, social and political unrest. The Power of Attraction hit the right spot at the right time. This album showcased the delusion, chaos, frustration and suppressed feelings of the youth during this period. Thanks to Jayanta’s imaginative wit and intellect.

Apart from being the first album of Tapta, The Power of Attraction is first of its kind in the history of music in Manipur. Songs, like the title track The Power of Attraction as well as Rupashree and Sou Sou for the first time introduced rap-rock elements into popular Manipuri music.

Hairamdana and Dear Bina are unforgettable romantic ballads in the album. Tapta’s thematic approach from this album onwards is primarily a mix of three sensitive elements—sex, drugs and politics (SDP). However, this album is, more or less, about sex and politics. Indira is an allegory about a sizzling dream the singer had about a woman he had known. He wrote the song based on a pretty girl he met during his Guwahati days.

Last Warning is based on the temptations of a young man and his attempt to fulfill his carnal desires. The song vividly talks about a pretty call girl who hypnotises a young man in one of the many dark narrow lanes in Imphal city. The young man’s craving was short lived as he was caught in a compromising situation with the call girl by some social activists who opposed flesh trade in the city.
