Singer Kajol Arif has brought a fresh musical treatment to his song ‘Kemon Bhalobasho Bondhu’, releasing a new version through ATN Folk Studio. The latest rendition features a revised musical arrangement by Sunny Mohammad, while retaining the original lyrics and composition.
The song was written by Humayun Kabir and composed by Mannan Mohammad, a respected lyricist, composer and music director associated with numerous popular songs. The new arrangement has been undertaken by Sunny Mohammad, while Mannan Mohammad has supervised the latest rendition.
Kajol Arif expressed his delight at getting the opportunity to sing the song again under Mannan Mohammad’s musical guidance. He said working with the veteran composer had made the experience particularly special for him.
Speaking about the release, Kajol Arif said, “I am extremely happy and delighted to have the opportunity to sing ‘Kemon Bhalobasho’ again, under the composition and supervision of the respected Mannan Mohammad, who has written, composed and directed music for countless popular songs. The song has already been released. I hope everyone enjoys it.”
The track was first released in 2023 under the banner of Max Bag Entertainment. Its musical direction was handled by Salman Zaim, while Soumitra Ghosh Imon directed the music video. The original version received considerable appreciation following its release, helping the song gain recognition among listeners.
The latest release offers audiences an opportunity to revisit a familiar composition through a different musical presentation. Reworking an existing song involves maintaining the character of its original melody and lyrics while introducing changes to the overall arrangement. In this case, the involvement of the original composer in supervising the new rendition has also been a notable aspect of the project.
For Kajol Arif, the release represents both a return to an earlier musical work and an opportunity to present it to listeners in a refreshed form. His association with Mannan Mohammad has added particular significance to the project, given the composer’s contribution to the original song.
Kajol Arif began his musical career in 2013 with the release of his debut solo album, ‘Notun Ekta Preme Poro’. Since then, he has released several songs, including ‘Shopnochhera’, ‘Robey Na E Dhan’, ‘Kemon Bhalobasho’ and ‘Borshabaron’.
Over the years, these releases have formed part of his growing musical repertoire. His latest presentation of ‘Kemon Bhalobasho Bondhu’ adds another entry to that catalogue, allowing listeners to experience a previously released song with a new arrangement while preserving its original musical identity.
The new version is now available through ATN Folk Studio.
