In a resplendent start to the year, Soumita Saha has added yet another luminous chapter to her artistic journey by bagging the Global Tribune Cultural Excellence Award in not one, but two distinguished categories — as Singer and Composer.
The recognition celebrates both her evocative voice and her nuanced musical craftsmanship, honouring her originals Bleeding Vermillion Hues, released under Melotunes Records, and Meghbaalika, released under Raga Music. Each composition stands as a testament to her ability to merge poetic sensitivity with melodic depth, crafting soundscapes that linger long after the final note fades.
Beyond her prowess as a vocalist, Soumita’s brilliance as a composer has also been lauded. She received the Best Composer accolade for Le Chal, soulfully rendered by Anindita S, and for Bleeding Vermillion Hues, which she lent her own voice to. These works reflect a composer who understands emotional architecture — building crescendos that breathe, pause, and ultimately bloom into resonant musical experiences.
What makes this recognition even more remarkable is its timing. The year has already unfurled on a momentous note for the Bengal-born artist. Soumita recently released her debut book, also titled Bleeding Vermillion Hues, weaving literature and music into a singular artistic vision. The song became an integral part of the book’s trailer and promotional campaign, blurring the lines between page and performance, ink and intonation. Such interdisciplinary expression signals an artist unafraid to traverse mediums in pursuit of authentic storytelling.
The Cultural Excellence Award from Global Tribune thus becomes more than a trophy — it is an affirmation of an artist who is steadily shaping her own creative cosmos. While accolades gather gracefully on her mantelpiece, Soumita remains characteristically understated. Despite being active on social media, she reveals little of her personal life or forthcoming projects, allowing her art to speak in measured whispers rather than loud proclamations.
Currently, she is immersed in crafting a special song for Holi — a festival that celebrates colour, rhythm, and renewal — themes that seem almost intrinsic to her aesthetic palette. If her recent trajectory is any indication, the composition promises to carry both vibrancy and depth.
Not much is publicly known about the singing diva’s upcoming endeavours. Yet subtle hints in her posts suggest a year brimming with creative commitments. For the Bengal beauty, 2026 appears to be unfolding as a season of expansion — of voice, vision, and versatility.
In an era where oversharing often eclipses artistry, Soumita Saha stands apart — quietly prolific, fiercely expressive, and elegantly enigmatic. The Global Tribune Cultural Excellence Award merely formalizes what her listeners already know: her music does not just echo — it endures.
