Pilu Khan, one of the founding members of popular Bangladeshi band 'Renaissance' where he is the drummer and a music director from the 70s- has finished his first album as a singer. Titled 'Tomra Bhalo Acho To', the album contains eight songs. With lyrics from Shahid Mahmud Jangi, Pilu Khan himself has composed music of the album.
The released songs are- Amar Golpo, Sob Kotha and Tomra Bhalo Acho To. Pilu Khan, along with Shahid Mahmud Jangi has worked for the last 12 years to produce the album. Music of seven songs of the album has been arranged by Suman Kalyan, while Ibrar Tipu has arranged the last song.
Although Pilu Khan has been involved with the music industry for more than 50 years, he has never recorded a solo album till now. In 1972, when he was just 11 years old, he made his debut by performing on stage. On the concerts of 70's, he regularly played drums. Then he joined 'Souls', a legendary music band, in the late 70's. Band Renaissance was founded in 1985 and Pilu has been involved with it ever since. He has never made any single album, except the one on which he is working now.
Pilu Khan got the inspiration of making the album 'Tomra Bhalo Acho Toh' from Shahid Mahmud Jangi. Pilu has been residing in a different country since the very beginning of production works for the album, still the two collaborated in breaks, to finally forth the album. Pilu Khan thinks that he is chiefly a music composer and has only sung out of necessity in the past. Thus it was primarily Shahid Mahmud's motivations that finally persuaded him to bring out his own solo album.
