Kalpana Bangla Music Album Review
|
The title perfectly projects the theme of the album. Ten romantic songs expressing the desire and the thoughts surrounding it, of someone not present, is a good treat for listeners in solitude.
Qazi Hablu and Anan, the father-son duo along with Shithi have recently released this album with Laser Vision. Quazi Hablu of the very famous band Renaissance worked in this album with two new generation singers for the first time.
Track number three, Boshe Boshe, perhaps the best song of the album is both written and composed by Quazi Hablu. Singer Anan too has written and composed some songs but in comparison to his father his tracks appeared to be striving. Moreover the songs he sang sounded touched up with a voice synthesizer. On the other hand, Shithi with her pleasant voice, rendered those romantic songs very nicely.
The album is noticeable mainly because of the good lyrics of the songs. The lyrics are contributed by Masud Karim, Quazi Faruk Babu, Amit (Tyson), Mohshin Munir, Kamruzzaman Kajol, Quazi Hablu and Anan.
Simple and poetic; the lyrics are well expressive of the intended thoughts. Boshe boshe tumi ato bhabchho ki/ kobita naki kono golpo/ nirobe amake bhabchho naki and the title song tumi kalpona naki shopno/ naki maya bujhi na are well composed and well sung. The first one is a solo performance by Shithi and the second one is her duet with Anan. Anan’s solo Boro suhnno lage akaki a rate/ jachchhe theme jibon tomari karone is another good number also written and composed by him.
Some songs of the album like Tara bhora raat purnima chand/ ki kore aka thaki and Olosh dupure tomar chhobi/ monta chute jay somehow do not impress that much. The lyrics are good but the compositions seem a little clichéd.
Same goes for the song Prem o prem/ dekha diye dhora diye harale je tumi kothay that has a touch of oldies and the song Are jay jay re din/ shonali shopner din ho seemed it would have fitted well into a Bengali movie.
Most of the songs are well accompanied by musical instruments. Flute is played by Jalal and harmonica by Munna. All the tracks are composed, mixed and mastered by Anan.
The album is not the first of its kind therefore would certainly be compared to other albums of the type in the market. It might not stand out as a revolutionary music album, but it is recognisable that a good effort has been put together in the making of ‘Kalpana’. Moreover, contributions of the experienced hand Quazi Hablu have certainly added value to the album.
