Shanu's Shunno Hrithoy for Hridoy Khan

Shanarei Devi Shanu has made a name for herself as a writer in recent years, publishing literary works at the Ekushey Book Fair. She showcased her abilities in yet another creative medium - songwriting – this time.

 Shanu teamed up with singer-composer Hridoy Khan for a new song titled ‘Shunno Hridoy.’ With lyrics written by Shanu and voiced by Hridoy Khan, the song was released on the internet on Friday. Hridoy also did the music and composition of this song.

“Shanarei Devi Shanu has written some wonderful words in the lyrics which you all need to listen to, big thanks to her,” Hridoy Khan wrote on Facebook sharing the poster.

“Hridoy had the composition prepared from before and I just wrote down the lyrics. Thus, it took the shape of a song. It was completed in March this year,” Shanarei Devi Shanu told The Business Post on Friday.

She added, “It is going to be the first ever official song I have written for any singer. That is why I was excited that my first official lyrics will be in the voice of Hridoy Khan.

As the title of the song is 'Shunno Hridoy,' the lyrics accordingly have a story of love and emptiness, Shanu said.

Mostly known for her appearance in TV productions, the former Lux Channel i Superstar Shanarei Devi Shanu emerged as a writer with the publication of her poetry collection 'Nil Foring' at the Ekushey Book Fair in 2017.  She has four novels, five poetry books and a teen fiction to her credit.
