Eh Kancha by Arijit Singh, Mainak Nandy, Indraadip Das Gupta

The Eh Kancha album has several strong tracks, but Eh Kancha is the one most listeners come back to first. Indraadip Das Gupta , Kaushik Ganguly has a history of strong work, and the music on Eh Kancha is among the most memorable of it.

The vocal on Eh Kancha is among the better performances Arijit Singh, Mainak Nandy, Indraadip Das Gupta has committed to record. On screen, Abir Chatterjee, Koel Mallick bring the emotional world of the song to life in a way that enhances rather than competes with the music.

2017 was a strong year for Bengali music, and Eh Kancha was among the reasons why. The mood of the track shifts subtly as it progresses, giving even a single listen a sense of journey.

Running to 3:08, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. It is, simply, one of the better songs to come from Bengali in recent memory — and the numbers agree.
