In the contemporary landscape of Bengali music, Saif Zohan has carved out a distinctive niche that sets him apart from the mainstream. While the industry often leans towards formulaic romanticism, Zohan’s compositions delve deeper, transitioning from the initial stages of love into the profound complexities of human existence. Last year, he captured the public imagination with his poignant track ‘Kichu Manush More Jay Pochishe’ (Some People Die at Twenty-Five), which resonated deeply with audiences for its philosophical weight.
A Romantic Double Bill for Spring
As the double celebration of Pahela Falgun (the first day of Spring) and Valentine’s Day unfolds, Zohan has released two new tracks to mark the season. The first, ‘Ay Ghum’ (Come, Sleep), was released last night. Zohan describes the piece as a long-gestating project written three years ago, featuring a classical melodic structure blended with experimental arrangements.
The second release, ‘Mon Bechara’ (Poor Heart), debuted today. The origins of this song are particularly touching, rooted in Zohan’s personal experience as a father.
“Last year, when my daughter was only a few months old, I had to sing various melodies to lull her to sleep,” Zohan shared. “One night, the chorus of this song suddenly came to me. I nurtured that spark until it grew into a full composition.”
Ambitions for 2026: The “Musical Procession”
Zohan is not merely a musician; he is a prolific creator with an unprecedented work ethic. After falling short of his twelve-song goal in 2025, he has doubled his ambitions for the current year. His target for 2026 is a staggering 24 releases—a feat rarely attempted by independent artists.
The year has already begun with a “procession of songs,” as his previous January releases have garnered significant digital footprints.

The Soul of an Independent Artist
Despite his massive digital following—boasting one of the largest YouTube channels for a Bangladeshi artist with over 1.3 million subscribers—Zohan maintains a grounded perspective on his craft. He balances a professional career for his livelihood while dedicating his musical output to his “soul.”
His collaborator, Shovan Roy, remains the architect behind the musical arrangements, ensuring that Zohan’s lyrical depth is paired with high-quality production. With a target of two songs per month, Zohan is set to dominate the independent music scene throughout 2026.
