And you were wondering why we're all crazy about the Anupam Roy brand that burns bright? Well, I don't know about you, or maybe I do, but I'm sure gonna tell you my 31 reasons for it...here goes....
- my late-night staple music diet
- my personal music creator (like you, I also always feel that he's just singing for me, so I'd appreciate if you let me live in that bubble!)
- footloose
- crazy
- personal head banger
- my guide to bengali the new way
- contemporary mirror to the Kolkata I don't really know but trying to understand more each day
- my way of trying to become a bit more Bangaliyana
- my Calcutian (sorry couldn't find a better word for it) link
- my 2am sing-along
- full-on paagalpanti (of course zaroori hai)
- i love any good music with lots and lots of drums
- i've always loved loved loved boy bands, so this is no exception
- lyrics that let me look at kolkata in an absolutely different way
- no dose of typical Bengali melodrama
- of course a young singer also makes a lot of difference ;-) (I'm being honest, so stop making that 'hawwwww' face)
- and not to forget the amazing band of 'paagal' boys who make the band as magical as it is - they're all equally crazy must tell you that...starting from Rana to Roheet to Nobi to Rono to Sandy to Shubho!
- honest in-your-face
- a 'new'ness in every song I hear
- powerful enough to blow me away
- leaves me breathless and craving for more
- lyrics that command my full attention - listening to it 'just-like-that' simply won't work
- raw and earth
- brazen ('jodi or shaathey bhaalo thaako thaaktey paaro to') ..... hmmm, I get it
- starting to get sensuous (I'm kind of liking the change actually) ('aamaar du haath tomaaye chhule tomaar shorir nei aar dotaanaaye') - can that even be a question Anupam, seriously??
- poetic with a twist
- fast (as in the rythms and the feel too)
- upbeat and peppy
- lingering haunting melody
- direct dil-to-dil, songs that come from the heart to reach your heart, and stay there forever
- really.....do I even need any more reasons to love Anupam Roy songs than the fact that I absolutely love his voice, the way he sings, what he sings, and how he absolutely sings personally to each and every one of his audience......
