Valentine’s Song Unites Abir and Antara

This Valentine’s Day, music enthusiasts are set to be treated to a special collaboration as the romantic track “Ami Pakhi Hobo” prepares for release. The song marks the first-ever vocal partnership between acclaimed Bangladeshi singer Abir Sadaf and popular playback artist Debosrie Antara, promising a blend of emotive vocals and contemporary musicality.

Produced by the renowned Bangladeshi band Xcape, the song’s music video has been created using cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology, highlighting a fusion of musical artistry and modern visual innovation. The project reflects a growing trend in South Asian music to integrate technology with traditional composition, making it a noteworthy experiment for both artists and audiences.

The lyrical depth of “Ami Pakhi Hobo” has been crafted by lyricist and journalist Robiul Islam Jibon, known for his poetic yet accessible writing style. Kazi Rintu, guitarist of Xcape, co-composed the tune and arranged the music alongside Abir Sadaf, ensuring a seamless blend of melodic sophistication and contemporary sound. Bakhtiar Hossain handled the mixing and mastering, bringing professional polish to the final track, while Hyper Cuts Production managed the AI-based visual design.

While the timing of the release coincides with Valentine’s Day, the song’s appeal is not confined to a seasonal theme. It forms part of the international initiative “Strings Beyond Borders” (Music Without Passport), which seeks to foster cross-cultural collaborations, transcending geographical and cultural boundaries. The project emphasises music as a universal language, capable of connecting diverse audiences.

Speaking about the release, Abir Sadaf stated, “This project departs from conventional releases. Our intention was to create something fresh and meaningful, and I am confident listeners will resonate with it on an emotional level.”

For Debosrie Antara, “Ami Pakhi Hobo” signifies an important comeback following a prolonged hiatus from the music scene. She gained widespread recognition in 2024 with the hit playback number “Laage Ura Dhura” from the Shakib Khan film Toofan. Subsequent health challenges forced her to step back from regular performances and recordings.

Reflecting on her return, Debosrie Antara remarked, “This song represents a new beginning in my career. Collaborating with a band for the first time has been an exhilarating experience. The emotional depth of the track, Xcape’s creative vision, and the philosophy of ‘Strings Beyond Borders’ drew me to this project. I am excited to reconnect with listeners and share this journey.”
