Dubbing this as a whole new wave or tradition in contemporary Bengali song, lyricist-composer Joy Sarkar told PTI, "I haven't heard any such songs in past."
"It is all very very new, original and of present times," Joy said about the vocals by Anushree Gupta, accompanied by acoustics of Sukanti Roy.
Popular singer Lopamudra Mitra, credited with introducing a new genre of impassioned, realistic yet lyrical songs including the epochal Benimadhab, said, "I believe the international feel of these songs is the fallout of the team being well-versed with different strands of world music."
"There is also uniqueness in our acoustic instrumentation. The lyrics are written by me and and my band member and acoustics livewire Sukanti Roy program the music on laptop," she said.
The songs, endowed with the urban imageries and retaining orchestra references, are termed as Chhobigaan by the singer.
