Rodh Boleche Hobe by Arnob

"Rodh Boleche Hobe" is the 4th studio album by respected Bangladeshi fusion artist, Shayan Chowdhury Arnob. He self-released this album from his own production house, Adhkhana Muzik in October of 2010 in a limited edition long box format with a 16 page booklet that features Artwork, Poems and a story written by him. Arnob mentions in the sleeves, the story behind why he chose to work independently from label companies and form Adhkhana Muzik. He says that he was fed up of losing rights to his intellectual property (songs, artworks, compositions, etc.) because that was the norm when signing up with a label company. He believed it was necessary for artists to be aware of the consequences when they decide to sell their rights off like that to labels. As artists are blessed with the divine gift of expressing their thoughts, singing and playing in a way that is deemed "artistic", it is sad they are unable to pursue their music full time, and must take up another secondary career in order to live on in the pressures of urban living. Arnob feels an artist needs solitary and complete undivided attention to come up with the best work so that the time invested in music feels worth it. He also believes an Artist never stops learning - everyday is a lesson for him or her. For that very reason, the concept and story behind Rodh Boleche Hobe is his fighting the norm, to find happiness and peace through what he does, through capturing the coveted "Shonar Horin (Golden Deer)", but being unable to do so being shackled down by the norm set by the music industry. This album was Arnob's way of saying he's an independent artist and he has fully proven himself to be so. All of his solo works from this point onward didn't get confined by label companies and he has had huge success. Arnob thanks his listeners and fan-base for all the support they had given him for Rodh Boleche Hobe. He also thanks his friends, family and Elma, who stuck by him throughout everything. And like with his albums before, he also thanks "Doc". Sahana Bajpaie, Rajib Ashraf, Tawfique Riaz, Bikram Singh and Fariha contributed heavily with the lyrics of the album, while Zohad and Maher of Nemesis, helped out with additional guitars and vocals. The album was also sponsored by Robi, a telecommunications company.
