Dolly Shayontonni – Rongchota Jeans
Now this is an absolute classic late 80’s music video. A soundtrack by genre, it sports our hero-in-action wearing a loud red shirt, faded jeans, stylish shades, puffing some smoke and playing a macho hard-to-get fella. And then…appears our miss rebellion lip-synching Rongchota jeans er pant pora...jolonto cigarette thot-e dhora - the moment these urgent lines were aired on radio, they spread to stereos and blasted out of speakers across the country and all hell broke loose on the streets.
Kaniz Shuborna – Tumi Nishho Korey Dao & Moner Chhaya
Clad in glittery outfits she stunned the nation with her dance moves in her videos, helping to popularise the private television channels in the late 90's and becoming the talk of the town with her good looks and husky voice. Her songs Tumi nishho korey dao and Moner chhaya were massive hits, with due credit to the video producers, who created her image. The album sold out and her live performances enticed audiences on to the dance floors, roaring their approval. Before long, car stereos, boom boxes and dance floors were pumping out – tumi nishho korey dao, tumi shikto korey dao, uttopto korey dao bhalobashay...
Mila – Jatrabala
Singing Roopbane nache komor dolaiya, Mila is our latest heartthrob, rocking Bangladesh with her immense talent and knack for picking the right sounds to captivate her fans. A talented vocalist and exciting performer she makes the audience go wild with her scintillating dance moves and phenomenal beats.
Her career peaked with Jatrabala establishing her position as Bangla pop’s princess. Collaborating with Fuad she delivered more hits like Disco Bandor and Dola Re. The lyrics, fruity and magnetic, are paired with some of the best music production in the industry. Her videos are always devilishly entertaining!
Upol – Pola To Noy
In this rock song, Upol expresses plenty of anger, mixed with truth, sung with liquid feelings, burning with passion: elements synonymous with heat and red-hot chilli flakes! The song is one of the loudest bone crushing, ear throbbing, head banging tracks sung by a Bangladeshi singer, and it’s been a long time in coming. Upol serves up a treat for music lovers to whet their appetite for great rocking songs.
Pola To Noy’s music video is a testimony to the saying that anger is a gift. One of the most aggressive visuals shown in a deshi video, the wild creativity of the images mesmerise. It was produced entirely in the US and has “parental advisory” shouting out loud all over it but is definitely worth watching.
Shireen –
P
anjabiw
ala
Habib's collaboration with Shireen has certainly added to the sound quality of this fantastic song. The tune is simply tantalising and Shireen’s husky boyish voice singing Roshik telkajala, oi lal kurtawala, dili boro jala re panjabiwala…moves listeners on a deep accent that blends and captures the whole Baul-folk essence of the track perfectly.
There are a couple of versions of this music video and the best one was produced in the UK with Shireen’s direction evident in every scene. The visuals take viewers to London where the glamorous diva sits at the beauty salon as her locks are dressed up ravishingly, while she fantasises about her Lal Panjabiwala
