Soumita Saha unveils her evocative rendition of “Boro Aasha Korey”, set for release on Tagore’s Death Anniversary. A timeless Tagore composition known for its western-tinged arrangement, the song now finds new life through Soumita’s soulful voice and spiritual lens. Having revealed the poster and release date, the celebrated singer hinted at a music video steeped in divine symbolism.
It portrays the eternal quest for refuge at the feet of a maternal figure—represented by the sacred presence of Sarada Devi, introduced as the Holy Mother. This artistic tribute intertwines devotion with melody, illuminating the transcendental essence of Tagore’s vision.
The song will be released by Raga Music and Communications and will stream across all major digital music platforms. Speaking about her upcoming release “Boro Aasha Korey,” Soumita Saha shared heartfelt insights: “I’ve always adored Tagore compositions that exhibit subtle western influences.
Boro Aasha Korey has been close to my heart since childhood. I grew up listening to the renditions from the classic Bengali film Rajbadhu, immortalized by Hemanta Mukhopadhyay and Arundhati Holme Chowdhury. Whenever I record, I visualize a narrative to evoke the right emotions.
This time, I imagined Sarada Maa as the divine maternal presence alluded to in the lyrics. That image inspired my vocal delivery. When my team began conceptualizing the video, I shared this vision—and they embraced it.
I immediately agreed, as I haven't ventured deeply into devotional or spiritual genres compared to my other explorations.”The singer expressed her profound gratitude to Raga Music for supporting her creative vision.
“I remain deeply indebted to Prem Uncle (Prem Gupta, Founder of Raga Music), Vishal Da (Vishal Gupta, COO, Raga Music), and their incredible team for their unwavering belief in my work.” The music video promises to be a spiritual odyssey, uniting melody and devotion through poignant storytelling.
Soumita’s ethereal voice breathes new life into this timeless classic, illuminating its emotional and transcendental layers. She revealed what’s next: “I’m currently engrossed in creating another original, and yes—there’s something special on the way for Durga Puja too.”
Her artistic journey continues to unfold with purpose and grace, offering listeners both familiarity and innovation with each new release. Boro Aasha Korey is poised for release between the 4th and 5th of August, just ahead of Tagore’s Death Anniversary—an occasion deeply revered within the Bengali music fraternity.
This solemn yet celebratory time honours the timeless genius of Rabindranath Tagore, whose contributions continue to inspire generations. The song, a soul-stirring reinterpretation by Soumita Saha, aligns seamlessly with the spiritual and emotive tone of the occasion.
Reflecting on her artistic journey, Soumita reveals, “More such work on Tagore music is in the pipeline. I intend to present more of these heartfelt tributes by the end of this year.” With her mellifluous voice and imaginative interpretation, Soumita aims not just to preserve Tagore’s legacy, but to reinvigorate it for contemporary listeners.
Her forthcoming releases promise to continue this homage—interweaving tradition, emotion, and creative innovation in a way that only a true connoisseur of Tagore’s oeuvre can deliver.
