Anupam Roy despite having an album like October, Piku and Pari to his credit, doesnt dabble enough in Hindi film music

Though a well known figure from the Bengali music industry, Anupam Roy despite having an album like October, Piku and Pari to his credit, doesn't dabble enough in Hindi film music. Taking a cue during the lockdown, Roy has released his gorgeous new single Aisi Raaton. Accompanied with a video that has been doodled well, Roy's voice is the highlight of the track.
In a chat with mid-day, the musician tells us, "I really hope a new song gives me better scope to widen my horizons. Music is not dependent on language; it's largely independent of it. But Hindi songs stream in larger numbers. Somehow the streaming culture is a lot lower for Bnegali songs vis-a-vis Punjabi numbers. Beyond a point, it's frustrating for a composer to not get the kind of traction he and his music deserves. I have worked in Bollywood as well so Hindi music is familiar territory."
