The music has
been arranged by Subhadeep Mazumder and Manash Bhattacharjee while it has been
composed by Manash Bhattacharjee, who on this album and on working with Manomoy
Bhattacharya says “Working with Manomoy Bhattacharya
was really great. It is my 1st Hindi ghazal project. I had worked for many
famous singers but working for Manomoy da was really fun. He is a super
talented person. Indian classical music is my subject and I believe to achieve
success in this field. It was a wonderful experience for me to work as a
composer and singer for this project.”
The title track
of the album, Palki, in Manomoy’s voice brings about an essence teamed up with
Sunita’s lyrics that would touch your heartstrings to another level. Speaking
about the lyrics, Sunita Sohnee says “The
album is written by me in dedication to someone very special of my life. Every
single word that forms these ghazals has touched my soul before turning into
words. The feelings that I have written has been beautifully turned into music
by Manash Bhattacharya ji and with so much beauty have me, Manomoy ji and
Manash ji sung it. I am sure that this album would be loved by people of all
generations because this is the sound of the heart.”

Bhattacharya has been an inspiration throughout. The ghazals are beautiful,
along with the lyrics and this album is surely one sparkling star among the
others right now.”

Sumit Nandy, the owner of Blue Morph records
who holds the rights to the music album was on top of the sky. Beaming with
happiness he says “This would be the
first ghazal album that has been released by Blue Morph records. Ghazals have
personally been one of my favourite genres and working with Manomoy da and having
him on board was great. I would be looking forward to working more with them
and seeing the success of Palki.”
Ensuring a lump
in the throat are lyrics such as, “Hai aankhein abhi num, sukh jaaye aansu...
toh chaltey hai” which elevate the album to a whole new level. So, what are you
waiting for? Get yourself the album and do not forget to tell me how was it
listening to the songs.
