Marking a historic moment in the music industry, the first-ever Bangladeshi AI artist, IZAK, unveils his debut album, “Kritrim Jogot,” released on Eid Day. The visionary behind this groundbreaking project is Bangladeshi AI enthusiast Kazi Ahmed, currently residing in Canada. The album showcases Nine original tracks, including eight compositions with lyrics penned by Ahmed two decades ago during his tenure with bands U-Turn and Alternation. These previously undiscovered gems have been brought to life through the innovative power of Generative Artificial Intelligence.
Every vocal and instrument featured on the album is meticulously crafted using the SUNO AI platform. The process involves inputting song lyrics to establish structure and style, followed by multiple AI-generated iterations. Ahmed then meticulously refines each track through 30-35 iterations, leveraging the capabilities of the LALAL AI platform to separate individual stems and arrange them into cohesive compositions.
Titled “Kritrim Jogot,” inspired by the realm of Artificial Intelligence and our materialistic world, the album bears the alias of musician IZAK—a playful nod to Ahmed’s name, reversed and imbued with a hint of Isaac Newton’s legacy. Ahmed’s journey into music traces back to the early 2000s, inspired by the iconic bands of the era, including Artcell, Black, and Cryptic Fate. The album’s lyrics, composed between 2001 and 2010, represent Ahmed’s unwavering passion for songwriting and his lifelong aspiration to contribute to the music scene.
Having recently discovered SUNO AI, Ahmed was captivated by its ability to capture the essence of his Bangla lyrics, infusing them with depth and emotion drawn from his personal experiences. “Sharing these songs publicly feels incredibly vulnerable, yet immensely gratifying. I hope listeners find resonance in the music, just as I did in its creation,” Ahmed expresses.
“Kritrim Jogot” is now available for streaming on major platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music.
