“Love is like an eternal Spring” ...Kumar Bishwajit
Noted singer Kumar Bishwajit's latest album “Sharangshe Tumi” hit the music market on Thursday ahead of Valentine's Day. The album, as the name suggests, is an album of love songs. The singer talked to Arts & Entertainment about the album, his perception of love and of Spring. Excerpts:
How are Spring and love interrelated?
Kumar Bishwajit: Spring is a symbol of love. Love is colourful, and spring too is the most colourful in the cycle of seasons. In Spring, nature dons a new look with colours splashing over everywhere. Generally it gives our mind a positive vibe, and we feel an urge to express our feelings. When we fall in love, our life becomes colourful, and even we start dreaming in colours. There's no particular day for love; it's above date, time and any barrier. Love is like an eternal Spring.
What's your take on the saying that love comes only once?
Kumar Bishwajit: I believe love comes once in life, but it spreads its branches and changes dimensions with time. When it comes in our life, we form abstractions in our mind, and start looking for someone who matches that image. When the person we find doesn't meet our expectation, separation comes in. So I think love is one, and it comes once but the person we love changes with time in many cases.
Love brings about a big change in our psyche. When we love someone, the person becomes our universe. It's an attraction, affection and an invisible connection we feel for someone particular.
Tell us about your latest album.
Kumar Bishwajit: The album features eight tracks, two of which are remakes of two popular songs from my first album. I composed songs in the album, while Naquib Khan composed one track. The album praises love in its different forms: union, separation, emotion, and sorrow — all songs in the album are dedicated to love.
I have also released two music videos, and I will release music videos of all eight songs in April. Combined together, this will be the first musical film in Bangladesh which tells a love story. Gazi Mazharul Anwar has penned the script for my videos, while Ashikur Rahman is making it.
