Beauty drew attention of millions of music lovers with the melody of her voice at home and abroad. Hailed as “Lalon Konya” by her fans for her mystic voice, the former Close-up 1 champion released a solo album “Dui Chokhete Lalon Amar” on Pahela Boishakh. She spoke to The Daily Star about the project and other issues.

This album has come after a long hiatus. Why so?

Beauty: Yes, it has been more than two and a half years since my last release. I made a great effort to release the album under the banner of G-Series. My effort will be successful only when the listeners will receive it warmly.

Tell something about the project ...
Beauty: All the songs on the album were tuned and composed by Lutfur Hasan and Shan respectively. I hope it will entertain the audience.

What's your expectation from the album?
Beauty: I am very hopeful about it, as the songs have been performed differently this time, considering the taste of the new listeners.

What is your connection to Lalon songs?
Beauty: My love for the mystic bard's songs is beyond words. Everything I am today is only for Lalon songs. I wish to sing his songs for as long as I can; I just want to spread his music around the world.

Do you have an 'ultimate musical dream'?
Beauty: Music is everything in my life. I can't think of doing anything other than this. I want to do music until I die.

Could you share a memorable moment of performing live?
Beauty: Once when I was performing in USA, and as soon as I left the stage, a fan hugged me, with tears in her eyes and gave me a gold chain. It left me speechless for a moment. It still resonates in my mind.

How was your Boishakh celebrations this year?
Beauty: I went through a hectic schedule all day long. I started the day with a live performance on Rtv. Then I performed songs at Uttara Club. Later, I went to Tangail and Pabna for stage shows.
