Touch by Samik Roy Choudhury

The Touch album has several strong tracks, but Touch is the one most listeners come back to first. Samik Roy Choudhury has a history of strong work, and the music on Touch is among the most memorable of it.

What sets this recording apart is how Samik Roy Choudhury handles the emotional weight — never overplaying, never holding back. Abir Chatterjee, Paoli Dam, Sourav Das, Arunima Haldar, Manoj Michigan, Abhijit Roy, Iqbal Sultan gave the film its soul, and Touch is the song that most directly channels that feeling into music.

When it came out in 2019, Touch felt timely. Years later, it feels timeless. The song rewards full attention but also works as company in the background — a flexibility that most tracks never achieve.

The 3:45 runtime feels perfectly judged — long enough to develop its ideas, short enough to compel a second play. It is, at the end of it, a very good song — and sometimes that is the only explanation that matters.
