"Ural" is an energetic, upbeat modern rock track, also with lyrics, tune, and vocals by Rafi Alam. Finally, "Bohupoth," featuring Black Zang, is an alternative rock and hip-hop track inspired by Linkin Park, with lyrics and tune by Mu Rayhan and vocals by Rafi Alam.
When asked Rafi said, “There is so much tension everywhere in the world that I wanted to share songs that have lighter words and tunes that people can perhaps enjoy while driving, at restaurants, and at parties and get-togethers casually,” He also added “I hope most of the audience can resonate with the songs as they vary across different themes and moods.”
And Black Zang added , “I’ve had the pleasure to listen to the album before release, and this album is really unique as every song is radio-friendly.”
Black Zang had amazing experience collaborating with Rafi Alam and Rafa. He is also directing the music video for Bohupoth, the fourth song of the album, and the official music video is expected to be released in coming Eid-ul-Fitr.
