Melodious Milia
“Keno chup hoye aachho?” (Why are you silent?) sings Milia. It’s Saturday, June 24, at the Spectra centre in Gulshan. Milia Islam Sabed is launching her latest album Keno chup hoye aachho.
The ambience, the arrangements, the songs and the entire evening is very different from the music launches we see all too often. There is a sophistication in the singer and the songs. The audience is select. They listen in hushed silence as Milia renders the beautiful numbers in her melodious voice. Then there is a thunder of applause after each song.
Renowned singer Ferdousi Rahman launches the CD while another renowned artiste Nashid Kamal introduces Milia and conducts the show. In the background, Milia’s music video plays – a pleasing juxtaposition of sight and sound.
The CD has compositions of Alauddin Ali, Bappa Majumdar, SI Tutul, Kazi Hablu and other talents of the music scene. It has soulful numbers like Na Bolo Na as well as racy party numbers like Aye Mon Nachere. The album is a must for lovers of contemporary Bangla music. |
