Have you heard this Bangla pop number yet?

Band members of

Cactus

,

Buti

and Abhirup, have teamed up with singer

Debanjali Lily

for a

Bangla pop

song for Durga Puja. The song,

Phirey Aaye

, has been inspired by creations of Michael Jackson, Abba, Madonna, Nazia Hassan, Alisha Chinai and others. The video features Buti and Debanjali.

The trio conceptualised the song during the

lockdown

and worked on it from the confines of their homes. Abhirup penned the lyrics and Buti composed the almost overnight. Debanjali recorded the vocals, improvising a bit in her own style of singing. Sayan Ghosh came on board to lend his expertise in mixing and mastering the audio and make it sound peppy.

Talking about the song, which is the trio’s second Bangla pop number, Buti said, “I wished to establish a genre named Bangla pop for a long time in the popular music scene. So, Debanjali, Abhirup and I came up with Phirey Aaye. The song was released a few days back and I have received a lot of positive feedback from young music lovers in the city. I plan to work more on this particular genre in future.”
