Music can convey what words cannot: Singer Shaan

TIL Desk Bollywood/ Singer Shaan, who has sung “Hawa aane de” — a track for the forthcoming World Environment Day to create awareness around air pollution — says music has the power to convey messages in an effective way.

Shaan, who has also composed the song, told: “The whole idea of creating this song is to create awareness towards air pollution. I wouldn’t think I am a major influence of sorts, but I’m a creative person. I feel I have a social responsibility and so it stems from there.

“In fact, it’s not like Bhamla Foundation asked me to do it. I feel that through music, you can say what you may not be able to say through words.” This is the reason why, he says, many songs on social change come out.
