This beautiful and romantic song is sung by Our nightingale and Babul Supriyo. The name of the movie is Ogo Bodhu Shundori, I know that most Bengali's will think that I'm probably talking about the old one, but I'm not. This is a new movie starring Babul Supriyo himself. All the songs in the movie are a replica of the songs from the earlier one but not this track. This track is completely new and a fresh composition.
The song runs for approximately 3 Minutes and 42 Seconds. The song starts off with light, heart touching music played by various instruments such as : acoustic guitar,strings etc. Babul Supriyo starts off the song right after the short string solo by singing "ek sholaj hanshi, kajol chahoni" which means "beautiful smile and eyes with kajal on them". After Babul Supriyo finished the first few line, We hear out diva sing "Aaj shopna rogin..kotha jai bolo naa" with her cute, beautiful and angelic voice.
The first interlude of the song is well supported by the electric guitar, drums, piano and the beautiful sound of the flute playing at the end.
Babul Supriyo starts the second verse and our diva follows him later on in the verse singing just a line with such emotions entirely portrayed through the use of her voice.
The second interlude involves the same instruments used in the first interlude but the melody and rhythm changes.
Our Nightingale starts to belt out her cute, honey soaked voice in the third verse singing with passion and we can actually hear the emotions involved in the song, once again portrayed by our diva.
Right after the third verse which was beautifully sung by our diva,We hear the first verse being repeated by Babul Supriyo and our nightingale.
This amazing song finally comes to end with Babul supriyo and our diva singing one after the other in the song possibly trying to convince each other. The male character tries to convince the female that she is beautiful and female says she is just a burden. We also hear a cute laugh by our nightingale before the song ends. The voices slowly fade off .
Overall this song is an beautiful song supported well by every instrument used and once again Hatts off to our diva and Babul Supriyo for giving us a song that we will cherish forever :)

Our diva sings a telugu song for Salim Suleiman!!
One of Indian Idol 5's most talented singers, Shreeramchandra, has just bagged his first big break, courtesy composers Salim-Suleiman Merchant.
Shreeram recorded this love song with Shreya Ghosal. The song will be picturised on the film's lead pair, Siddharth (Rang De Basanti, Striker) and Shruti Hassan (Luck).
What was it like to record with Shreya?
"I consider myself lucky that I am doing playback with Shreya Ghosal. This is like my first break."
"When I first met her, I was surprised to know she had heard me in Indian Idol. She said I was one of her favourite contestants and she appreciated my singing. She felt I was apt for this particular song."
"Though we didn't record together, it was a pleasure to meet her after my recording"

The Nightingale of Indian Music Wins Sera Bengali Award!!
Our nightingale won an award at the latest award ceremony in Kolkata - Star Annada Sera Bengali.
Our diva received the award for her contribution to music. She also performed her hit songs there as well as a very special song, which is close to her heart : "Pherari Mon"
Congratulations Shreya for winning this AWARD!!
God bless you..All the best for the future
PS :- will post the videos of her performances very soon :) (Tomorrow)
Upcoming Bengali Song!
As all you fanatics already know that our diva sings in her mother tongue too.
Here's an upcoming bengali song of our diva.
Movie : Notabor Not Out
Song : Megher Palok -Female ( There are three versions male,female and sad)
Music releasing this month
Dochey (Telugu)
Movie : Komran Pulli
Finally the most awaited TELUGU song of our diva is out!!..It release a few days ago and is now available for download.
This rocking song once again like "Gelluba Gelluba" shows our diva's versatility. This song is sung by Lady Krissy, Lady Kash and our diva!
The song runs for approximately 4 minutes and 22 seconds. The music director is AR Rahman and I'm having a premonition this song will get an award. The genre hip hop and peppy and the instruments used are modern.
The song starts with a very catchy beat followed by a kind of rappy saying by Lady Krissy " You...make the bad guys cry". We hear our diva hum in the beginning but she doesn't come into the song yet!
Our diva comes in after the first interlude, just like in the beginning Lady Krissy starts to rap "You..make the bad guys cry". Our nightingale adds a soothing touch to the song by her harkats but right after the peppy beat starts our diva totally changed her tune into peppy.Wow..only top class singers can do that, from soothing to peppy.
The third verse follows the same pattern like the second verse. Our diva sings in a soothing tune then suddenly her voice turns peppy. At the end of the song we can hear our diva and Lady Kash sing "Dochey..." followed by Lady Krissy rapping "You...make the bad guys cry"
Overall this songs a peppy,rocking side. Once again our diva has shown her versatility and left me and other fans speechless. She can easily change from an soothing note to an peppy note, Hatts off to all the singers and especially our diva for giving us such an wonderful song.
PS:- Even you don't understand Telugu like me you should just listen to the music and gain something from it like I'm gaining a lot of knowledge from this music.
Listen to the song below :-
~ Ee Preethi Bandakshana~ (Kannada)
Movie : Preethiya Loka
This beautiful song is sung by Karthik and our diva. The song is runs for approximately 4 minutes and 52 seconds. The genre is romantic and the instruments used are fairly modern instruments.
This beautiful , romantic song starts with a tune played on the acoustic guitar followed by light high hats beats by the drum and Karthik singing " EE preethi..". Right after Karthik finished the first line we hear the honey soaked melodious voice of our diva singing "EE Sanji...". The same pattern is followed for the first verse all over. For the second verse our diva starts singing first with her soulful voice and Karthak follows.
The piece in this song that will truly touch your hearts in this song is the first instruments when our diva and Karthik hum in harmony. Karthik sings the high notes whilst Shreya sings the lower notes. The voices gel perfectly with each other and instruments.
For the third verse the same pattern follows as the second verse. Note the way our diva smiles at 03:40, she sounds extremely beautiful and awesome.
Overall the entire song is an amazing song and I'm totally addicted to it as well as you will be after hearing this song. The tune played on guitar adds a Spanish touch to the song which is just beautiful in its own way.
Our nightingale has put so much emotions into this song and conveyed such a lovely message about love to the audience ( which she always does in every single song she sings.). Karthik has sung with emotions as well and has done a great job. We hope to hear more of Karthik and Shreya Ghoshal duets in the future. Hatts off to both the singers and especially Shreya Ghoshal, for giving such an lovely song.

The genre is definitely POP
-----------------------------------------------
This awesome track is sung by Chitra,Yuvan (Music Composer) & Our diva SHREYA GHOSHAL!!!
This tracks runs for approximately 4:58 minutes.
The song starts with Chitra singing "nananaanan" along with a techno voice covering the humming. A few second later Yuvan follows singing a light tune. After the tune sung by Yuvan, Chitra starts singing "Sol Pechu...".
We hear our diva's voice at approx 1;02 belting out a wonderful and fast tune with a totally different rhythm compared to the start of the song, In fact a new aspect of the song.
At 1:53 Yuvan starts to sing in a style that sounds similar to the techniques of rapping but is actually quite different. Soon after he finishes our melody queen belts out her melodious voice and adds harkats in every line which sounds absolutely devine and soothing to listeners ears.
After the short instrumental solo our melody queen belts out her amazing honey soaked voice and sings in the same rhythm as she sang last the last verse in but with different lyrics again adding beautiful harkats to them.
This rocking song finally ends with Yuvan singing the same tune as he started the song with.
Overall this song is truly amazing and rocking. Every singer got equal parts n the song and once again Shreya's harkats in the songs and every line she sang were amazing,soothing and rocking.
Hope you guys enjoy the song!!..:)
Hatts off to all the singers and a very big thanks to Shreya for giving us yet another amazing rendition!

An ecstatic Shreya wrote on microblogging site Twitter: ‘26th june is declared Shreya Ghoshal Day in Ohio. The First Lady of the State presented me this honour while I was performing yesterday (Saturday).
‘It’s an honour which has been given to personalities, artists n (and) literates since many years. I was informed that (Rabindranath) Tagore, Swami Vivekananda were the recipients that time. I was too overwhelmed at this thought. My name went into the same archives. Unimaginable!!’ she added.

Recent songs =)
Dear Readers.
I could not post any reviews or any other news of the diva as I was on my work experience and had assessment tasks. It was a bit hectic but now since its my winter holidays Ill post the recent songs of the diva and write reviews (a paragraph each)
The songs in the order of their release
- Kajraare - 2 songs - duet with Himesh Rashimiya (as usual Shreya has only got a few lines and the rest of the slot in the duration of the song is given to Himesh)
- Khuda mere Khuda (krantiveer) - Duet with KK - Awesome song. Totally addictive, This song uses double voices and also techno and pop beats. Our melody queen sounds awesome n rocking!
- Dangal (kushti) - Duet with the composer himself Sreenivas - Fun filled and a beautiful song, The short alaap by Shreya once again like all her alaaps and songs transform you to a totally different world.
- Milenge Milenge (MM) - 2 versions (first version) duet with Himesh - Lovely,haunting song. In this song both singers are given equal opportunities and lines. Himesh sounds really different, To be frank and honest,He doesn't sound nasal in the song (a great improvement). Shreya sounds gorgeous.
- HariyeJay (bengali - Hangover) - duet with Babul Supriyo - Pop song. Love the way shreya starts humming in the song. Lovely song. Great dance number
- Pagol mon re ( Version 1 (solo) - Bengali - Ekti taraar khonje) - Woow..Amazing song. This song is beautifully supported by jazzy beats and a male choir - Note : The way Shreya has sung each and evey line with so many different emotions and harkats (woow)
- Pagol mon re (version 2 -duet with Shaan - Ekti taraar khonje) - Awsum song. The only difference in this version is that the tempo is slowed down a bit. The first verse is sung by Shaan and the chorus sung by the male choir. The second line is sung by Shreya but in this version our diva holds onto the note reaching high scales while shaan continues.
- Mr Singh Mrs Mehta ( 2 songs :- 1 solo and the other duet with Udit Narayan)
2. Behosh Nasha - duet - As you all might have read the article on "google news " about the classic revival and how ustaad stated that this song is of a mixed genre (semi-classical) . Well this song is indeed semi classical, A lot of modern instruments are used which supported by classical instrument. Its a romantic track and Shreya and Udit ji once again like Bari piya and all their other songs creates magic using their soulful and classical voices.
