Tomake by Arindom

Tomake is the kind of song that earns its place in a playlist and then refuses to leave. Credit goes to Arindom for a score that understands exactly what the song needs and nothing more.

The performance by Arindom is the centrepiece here — controlled where it needs to be, open where it counts. a talented ensemble cast gave the film its soul, and Tomake is the song that most directly channels that feeling into music.

2018 was a strong year for Bengali music, and Tomake 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 5:03, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. The song continues to find new listeners, which is the surest sign that it was made with something genuine at its core.
