Pentagon remake debut single 'Shongshoy'

In 1998, Pentagon had just released their debut single, "Shongshoy", on the mixed-album "Shimahin Swapno".

After almost 25 years, the band decided to make a music video for "Shongshoy", in the process remaking their original song.

The music video was released on Pentagon's YouTube channel. Aly Sumon, the band's frontman and lead vocalist, who had penned the original song, said that the new version of "Shongshoy" kept the original theme of the song, but the lyrics were slightly altered.

"The simple lyrics of this number narrate the fond old memories of a person. This song received a great response in the 90's, and a music video was also made for a television channel," said Sumon.

The song was originally composed by Zabed Babu, and the composition of the song has also remained unchanged.

After re-releasing "Shongshoy", the band is now considering the idea of remaking some of their other popular numbers from the past. A few months back, they had released another music video for the remake of an old song, "Bheshe Esho".
