“Anupam Roy’s songs have been part of many sad, happy, and romantic moments for me. I still remember it was a rainy day and I heard his song Amake Amar Moto Thakte Dao for the first time and I was speechless. Till then I have listened to his songs so much. Now he is my friend and I am glad that I could be a part of such an amazing event” said Sohini Sarkar at the release of Adrishyo Nagordolar Trip.

“Music to me is an abstract form of art. I use this medium to communicate my poetry, thoughts, and imagination. Words are the building blocks with the help of which I present my imagination. I began working on the album last year” said Anupam Roy.
