Songs have the unique power to take the mind beyond boundaries, seeking warmth and connection even in distance. That essence finds new expression in ‘Mon Je Ekta Bari’, the latest creation by lyricist R Jaman Rakib. The track features the celebrated voice of Samina Chowdhury, one of Bangladesh’s most admired vocalists.
Speaking about the collaboration, Samina expressed her delight: “Even from far away, I am truly happy to lend my voice to Rakib’s song. He is new but already ahead of many. As a lyricist, he has creativity and promise to go far.”
The song’s tune and composition have been crafted by S D Sagor, a rising music director who has been working closely with a new generation of artistes. Together, Rakib’s thoughtful lyrics, Sagor’s soulful composition, and Samina’s timeless voice create a bridge between two generations of Bangladeshi music.
‘Mon Je Ekta Bari’ is expected to be released soon across all major online platforms, as confirmed by lyricist Rakib. Industry insiders already anticipate strong audience response, given the buzz surrounding the project before its official release.
Samina Chowdhury, who currently resides in the United States, remains a beloved figure in Bangladeshi music. Her repertoire includes countless evergreen hits such as ‘Kobita Porar Prohor Esechhe’, ‘Phul Phote Phul Jhore’, ‘Amar Majhe Nei Ekhon Ami’ and ‘Ei Jadu Ta Sotyi Hoye Jet’. Each has left a lasting mark on generations of listeners.
With ‘Mon Je Ekta Bari’, she once again proves her ability to transform thoughtful lyrics into emotional journeys. For Rakib, it is a significant step forward, and for audiences, it is a promise of nostalgia blended with freshness.
