Upal, one of the lead vocalists and founding members of Chandrabindoo, told OTTplay, “It has been a while since we released our last album. We created many more songs since the release of Noy in 2012. And since we perform new songs on our shows regularly, our friends and fans have been insisting on compiling a new album. We planned but somehow could not make it happen. Recently, Anindya, Chandril and I decided to start recording the new songs we wanted to be in a new album.”

Besides Anindya, Upal, and Chandril, their guitarist Surojit Mukherjee, bassist Arup Poddar, drummer Rajshekhar Kundu, keyboardist Shibabrata Biswas, and percussionist Sourav Chatterjee will be at the recording. The members of Chandrabindoo want to keep the new songs under wraps till the release. According to sources, one of their hit songs by Chandril, Pradhanmantri Please, Amake Ekta Meye Dekhe Din, will be one of the 10 songs in the album. Earlier, they recorded three songs, including Pradhanmantri, for the album. Out of those three songs, two will be rerecorded. Furthermore, musician and friend of the members Joy Sarkar and some others will also be part of the new project.
