Young guns take over the market
The audio releases on Eid-ul Fitr saw a dominance of young artistes in the market, as their solo and mixed albums were bestsellers. The albums that were both commercially successful and popular include Arfin Rumey's third solo album “Bhalobashi Tomaye”, Prince Mahmud's “Nirbachita”, Belal Khan's mixed album “Anurag” and Prottoy Khan's “FnF”. Keeping up with the trends from last Eid, it is no wonder that albums by young guns were the favourite audio choices during the recent Eid-ul Azha as well.
Arfin Rumey's latest Eid release “Nilanjona”, a mixed album that's likely to be a hit, features talented vocalists of the time Nancy, Rumey, Mila, Porshi, Shuvo, Ayub Shahriar and lyrics by Anurup Aich, Rabiul Islam Jibon and Fuad Hasan. “Close-up 1” star Mehrab also released his second solo effort last Eid.
