“It’s actually a recreated new song of mine, which was recently released. I had sung ‘Dhitang Dhitang’ for Jeet Da before, but that was a full dhamaal song. This is my first romantic Bengali song. Indradeep Dasgupta is someone I’ve wanted to work with for long. I like singing in different languages. Bengali is a sweet language and it was amazing. While I learnt the tune, he used to explain the gist and the lyrics of the song,” shared Armaan.
Composed by Indradeep Dasgupta and penned by Prasen, the song is programmed by Ranojoy Bhattacharya, mixed, and mastered by Amit Chatterjee and Subhadeep Mitra, the additional guitar is by Ankur Mukherjee.
We think Armaan did his best when it comes to Bengali pronunciation. Though he doesn’t know the language, he did a fine job throughout the song. He is definitely blessed with a soulful tone of voice and this song will keep your heart grow fonder even when there is darkness all around.
The original version of ‘Ami Je Ke Tomar’ was sung by none other than Kishore Kumar for film ‘Anurager Chowa’ 1986.
