MUMBAI: The wait is over! After almost seven years, Papon has released his Assamese album 'Notun Puhor' today, 6 June 2017 on Saavn.

The name of the album 'Notun Puhor' signifies ‘New Light’.

The album contains six songs in Assamese – ‘Ubhoti Aakou’, ‘Herua Baatot’, ‘Khel’, ‘Eri Thoi Oha Mur’, ‘Bohu Baat’, and ‘Notun Puhor’. The songs are indeed a treat to the ears and we hope the ‘New Light’ will touch everyone’s heart.

The new album showcases Papon’s ease with hummable melodies and emotion-filled lyrics, but also shines a light on his contemporary influences like electronic and rock music. The new album represents the next step in his journey as a musician as he tackles new sonic textures.

Heavily influenced by synths and electric guitar, 'Notun Puhor' is Papon 2.0. “I’ve matured as a composer, and I feel that now I can strike a balance between old school and new styles of music. The music is very modern, stylish but the lyrics at the heart of the album will speak to a lot of people,” said Papon of 'Notun Puhor'.  
 
The lyrics are a glimpse into Papon’s mind and his outlook towards life and people today. Though tinged with melancholy and grimness, the lyrics are also hopeful and welcoming of life’s challenges. 

The album is available on all the digital platforms including Saavn, iTunes, OKListen.com and Hungama.

Furthermore, Papon is also a part of the third edition of Sennheiser Top 50-a battle of Indian bands along with the stalwarts of the music industry Shankar-Ehsaan- Loy and Raghu Dixit.
