Well-known singer Alka Yagnik has come out with her first Rabindra Sangeet album, fulfilling her childhood dream.
"It has been my childhood dream to sing Tagore songs. I am glad that this has now come true. I wanted to do this for a long time but somehow it never happened," said Kolkata-born Yagnik.
The album contains 10 songs sung with Babul Supriyo.
"This is the right time in my career when I can try various kinds of albums," said the 45 year-old singer.
Seven-time winner of Filmfare best female playback singer award, Yagnik shot to limelight with the 1981 hit song "Mere Angane Mein" but the super success of "Ek Do Teen" from the film "Tezaab" made her an overnight singing sensation.
Babul has already tasted success with two Rabindra Sangeet albums "Kotobaar O Bhebechin"' and "Jodi Jantem" released during the last two Durga Puja festivals.
"They were successful and so I decided to go for another one this year. But this time I thought of going duet and roped in Alka," he said.
The album "Mone Rob-e", produced by Asha Audio Company and released ahead of the Durga Puja festival, has rendition of four romantic duets and some solo songs.
For the Rabindra Sangeet album, the singer duo want to cash in on their history of giving memorable romantic hits together in films like "Hum Tum", "Kya Yehi Pyaar Hai" and "Chori Chori Chupke Chupke".
Alka had won the best female playback singer award for the duet song'"Hum Tum" in 2005.
