Evergreen singer who has been mesmerizing the audiences for so many years-Asha Bhonsle is making a comeback in the Pujor Gaan circuit with a new Bengali singles, ‘Ebar Pujoy Elaam Phire’ for the album ‘Pujoy Asha’, composed by Shiladitya – Raj and written by Utpal Das. The other singles of the album, ‘Surey Tumi’, composed by the duo has been sung by renowned playback singer, Amit Kumar and is written by another lyricist.

 New songs by the singers from Kolkata and Mumbai have always been a major draw during the festive season. From records to cassettes to CDs and now Digital, Pujor Gaan has never lost its charm. Shiladitya – Raj, the self – confessed disciples of RD Burman have created these new songs for ‘Pujoy Asha’ retaining the flavour, charm and subtlety of the master’s creations which will take the listeners back to those bygone days of melody.

Ebar Pujoy Elaam Phire was recorded by Asha Bhonsle exactly a week after she completed her 85^th birthday. She also shot a video of the song.

Though ‘Aamar Khatar Patay’ released in 1963 was Asha Ji’s first Pujo song composed by Manna Dey, it was 50 years back in 1968 when we first heard Asha Ji sing Pujo songs for RD Burman and the songs were ‘Eyi Edike Esho’ & ‘Jabo Ki Jabona” penned by Gouriprasanna Majumdar. Both were blockbusters. In subsequent years we got musical gems like ‘Jete Dao Amay Dekona’, ‘Chokhe Chokhe Kotha Bolo’, ‘Jaanina Kothay Tumi’, ‘Jaaire Jaire Bela Je Jaaire’, ‘Phoole Gondho Nei’, ‘Mohuaye Jomechhe Aaj Mou Go’, ‘Shondhabelaye Tumi Aami Boshe Achhi Dujone’, ‘Moyna Bolo Tumi Krishno Raadhe’, ‘Kine De Reshmi Churi’, ‘Ashbo Arek Din Aah Jai’, ‘Bhebechhi Bhule Jaabo’, ‘Tumi Kato Je Doore’, ‘Kotha Kotha Khujechhi Tomay’, ‘Phire Elaam’ & Durge Durge Durgotinashini’ amongst others from them. Asha Bhosle sang 66 Bengali Pujo songs for RD Burman which were mostly singles and also sang awesome duets.

The music arrangement of these two songs of the album has been done by Som Chakraborty and the music videos have been shot by Chandan Singh. Musicians associated with RD Burman have recorded blow instruments like Saxophone, Trumpet and English Flute for this album.

Apart from Audio CD, priced at Rs 75/- the songs of ‘Pujoy Asha’ will be available across all major digital platforms. ‘Pujoy Asha’ released on Mahalaya, 8^th October, 2018.
