Habib Wahid Announces New Single ‘Premer Kolonko’

The celebrated Bangladeshi musician, composer and producer Habib Wahid is set to return with a brand-new original contemporary track titled Premer Kolonko, continuing his evolving exploration of modern and folk-infused soundscapes. The upcoming release is expected to be launched shortly across major digital streaming platforms, generating considerable anticipation among listeners and fans.

Following a sustained period of success in the folk-fusion genre, Wahid has increasingly demonstrated his versatility by blending traditional influences with contemporary production techniques. His recent works, Moha Jadu and Koi Roila Re, both achieved widespread popularity, reinforcing his position as one of the most innovative figures in the South Asian music scene. These releases not only resonated strongly with domestic audiences but also attracted international attention, particularly for their cross-cultural musical arrangements.

The forthcoming track Premer Kolonko brings together a notable creative collaboration. The lyrics have been written by filmmaker and lyricist S A Haque Olike, marking a significant reunion after a long hiatus between the two artists. The composition, arrangement and production have all been handled by Habib Wahid himself, underscoring his signature approach as a self-contained creative force in the industry.

The music video is directed by Chandan Roy Chowdhury, who is expected to present a visually compelling narrative aligned with the emotional tone of the song. Industry observers suggest that the visual interpretation will play a crucial role in amplifying the song’s thematic depth and audience engagement.

Wahid has stated in recent comments that he continuously seeks to introduce novelty in both composition and arrangement. According to him, each project is an opportunity to experiment while maintaining musical authenticity. Premer Kolonko is therefore positioned as a departure from his recent folk-heavy outputs, offering listeners a refreshed sonic experience.

His earlier collaboration on Moha Jadu, performed alongside Tajik singer Mehrnigori Rustam on the Coke Studio Bangla platform, gained significant international traction. Similarly, Koi Roila Re, featuring Kaya and Muza, evoked strong nostalgic responses, particularly due to the return of Kaya after more than two decades.
