Bangla rock band Insomnia recently released their new single after regrouping following a decade-long gap. Savvy, Bodhisattwa Ghosh, Rajarshi Burman, Prasenjit Chakrabutty and the band’s manager and music producer Rahul Mehra are excited about the overwhelming response the single ‘Ar Na’ has received so far.
The group was initially formed in 2002 and was disbanded in 2010.
“This was our first release after 14 years,” said Bodhisattwa, adding, “Our last album, Proloyer Shomoye, was released on September 25, 2006 — 14 years ago. We all are looking forward to the single.”
The new song is penned and composed by Savvy. However, the band’s original vocalist, Sayantan Neogi, and drummer Rohit Nandi wasn’t on board for the single.
Speaking about the band, music composer Savvy said, “Even before I became a film music composer, I was known for Insomnia. The band is like my first identity. There is an emotional bonding with the band and my mates. I am really happy that we got to release our new single on the same date on which we released Proloyer Shomoye. I am happy to see such response.”
Savvy also worked on the background score for the Abir Chatterjee-Rukmini Maitra-starrer Switzerland and a song for a Yash-Nusrat Jahan and Mimi Chakraborty-starrer SOS Kolkata recently.
