Humble by nature, young musician Angel Noor has already created music in his short career that holds a special place in the minds of music lovers.

The title, “Pran-to”—meaning lifeline—is no accident. “These songs are closest to my heart,” Noor says. “They speak of joy, pain, and the courage to feel it all.” Every track is penned and composed by Noor himself, extending the confessional, story-driven style that made “Jodi Abar” a sensation.

Marking the occasion of Eid-ul-Azha, Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy is set to host “Ananda Utsab” at the Nandan Mancha of the academy. Supported by the Ministry of Cultural Affairs, the programme will take place on Friday, 6 June, at 7pm.

The rising star will be starring in four films this year—two Bangladeshi projects, including one directed by Tanvir Hossain Probal, and two Indian films, one from Tamil Nadu and another from Kolkata. “I have a significant fanbase in Kolkata, and that’s how I was approached for these projects,” he shared.

After months of uncertainty, concert enthusiasts finally have a reason to rejoice. Several concerts had been postponed in recent months due to security concerns. However, the wait is over, as two major concerts are set to take place today at separate venues in the capital, featuring an exciting lineup of musicians.

Arijit Singh, the renowned Indian playback singer, recently shared Bangladeshi singer Angel Noor’s song “Abar Dekha Hobe” on his X (formerly Twitter) handle, captioning it with high praise, “What a song.” 

Local cinemas have been awaiting welcoming new releases, from the beginning of the new year. Continuing this momentum, two government-funded films are hitting theatres nationwide today.

The choice of title, "Semicolon", carries profound symbolism. A semicolon represents the continuation of someone's life despite facing adversity—it symbolises strength in the midst of a storm. In the context of mental health, it serves as an affirmation of solidarity against a myriad of challenges.
