Season 3 of Coke Studio Bangla premiered on 13 April 2024, boasting a diverse lineup of over 180 musicians and artists from Bangladesh and around the world. Scheduled for release throughout 2024, the season will unveil 11 new songs carefully curated under the guidance of Shayan Chowdhury Arnob, with contributions from producers such as Pritom Hasan, Emon Chowdhury, and Shuvendu Das Shuvo.[16] This collaborative approach to music production, involving multiple producers, was initially introduced in Season 2 of Coke Studio @ MTV[17] and later adopted in Season 9 and Season 10 of Coke Studio Pakistan.[18][19]

Reception

The show has received positive feedback for its distinctive blend of traditional and contemporary Bangladeshi music, along with its impressive production quality. However, certain critics have expressed concerns about its originality, claiming that it resembles other Coke Studio shows from different countries.[20] Notwithstanding the criticism, Coke Studio Bangla has achieved significant commercial success, as the first season surpassed several million views on YouTube.[21] In an interview with the media, Arnab Roy, Vice President of Marketing for India and Southwest Asia at Coca-Cola, said that the company launched Coke Studio Bangladesh in 2022 as a trial run before relaunching the India version. The success of the digital-only Coke Studio Bangladesh helped Roy and his team decide to make Coke Studio Bharat a digital-only production as well.[22]
