Bolini Kokhono by Ayub Bachchu

After a year-long hiatus, celebrated rock musician Ayub Bachchu has returned with his 15th solo album titled Bolini Kokhono. The album features mellow, romantic tracks in which, the singer delves into the deepest pits of his heart to extract the somewhat clichéd emotions and feelings – both of exuberance and melancholy – that typically ensues from a love affair. The 10 tracks comprising the album are Proshno, Anubhab, Swapno bhango, Moner kotha, Bolini kokhono, Fera, Ronggin, Prithibi, Onek diner pore, Beche thaka, and Shangshar.

The title track Bolini Kokhono tells the tale of a romantic affair built upon high expectations of one partner on the other, which s/he obviously tries to fulfil on the basis of her unconditional love.

The song Anubabh is a reminiscence of the pleasant experiences one endures when in love, relating to the raindrops, the flowing rivers or the shining stars in the sky, before it all crashes down upon the break up.

The song Shangshar defines the rights a couple have on each other, the least of which include loyalty and compassion towards each other, starting with the verse, ‘Shangshar, Tomar proti amar chiro-odhikar, prokhkhoney keu karo nai ar.’

All the songs in the album were composed by Ayub Bachchu and Rahbar Anwar while the lyrics were written by Shahed Ahmed Siddik, Sazzad Hossain, Farjana Hossain Tania and Asif Ahmed

Finally, the sound quality of the album deserves praise as the mixing and the recording quality enhances the listening experience. Bolini Kokhono has been sponsored by Nuvista Ltd, presented by Marvelon and produced by AB kitchen, Ayub Bachchu’s music studio.
