Music from the sun - Arnob's fourth studio album for Eid-Ul-Adha

Music from the sun




























Almost two years after Doob, Arnob is about to release his fourth studio album Roud Bolechhey Hobey under his own record label,


This Eid-Ul-Azha, Arnob’s music full of psychedelic sunlight and the spirit of survival will shine on us through these words from the title track - Ageyi tokey janiye ditam roud bolechhe hobey. Jene newar eii batasher jonmo kothay kobey – a very optimistic lyric written by Rajib Ashraf.

In his studio, patterns of smoke float in spirals while spotlight rays penetrate the fumes, creating a mystical aura. The full-on sound from the monitor speakers harmonises the atmosphere in there.

Blowing smoke circles, Arnob speaks in measured tones “This album is based more on acoustic instruments with less fancy digital effects, primarily because I want to be comfortable while playing them live. I used very little keyboards in the arrangements as well, keeping the song structures simple and organic."

The newly formed Adhkhana Studios crew, comprising of Arnob, Samir Obaid and a few other close friends, brewed this collection and this delicious concoction can finally be served up to his fans.

The album is a mix of calm and solitude, as was evident from his words. While producing this compilation, it took Arnob back to the mood of his debut album and he tried to incorporate all the hopeful tones from those days.As is usual with Arnob’s music, the album captures the essence of everyday life, pathos, ecstasy and a state of strange déjà vu prevails.

“The lyrics are by my friends - Rajib Ashraf , who penned six of them, there are two by Towfik and two written by Sahana and one by Elma. There is only one song by me. I actually wrote quite a few songs but decided to use only one, Iniye Biniye, which is structured on rhyming blocks.”

Speaking with enthusiasm now, “I also collaborated with Maher and Zohad from Nemesis and I am really looking forward to this album’s release as it has been a long time in coming", he added.

The album is sponsored exclusively by Robi. Arnob expressed his concern about copyright and the subject of piracy, “For the first time, I will actually be very strict with the radio airplay policy. I have paid more attention to the distribution rights and marketing material, with the aim to combat piracy. It is high time artists started to claim their intellectual property rights.”

Fans can look forward to experiencing not just Arnob’s music with this release but also sample his artistic work in the form of a comic, which will be included with the CD: Roud Bolechhe Hobey is sure to be a collector’s item for music lovers.
