Shuffle | Jan 29 - Feb 11

This edition of our bi-weekly playlist ‘Shuffle’ is packed with new releases from some of the most exciting artists across the region, spanning various genres from R&B and pop to experimental electronics and alternative sounds.

On the playlist, we have Moroccan artist NovaQueen with a moody Arabic minimalist pop tune, ‘Blati’, along with Sudanese-American R&B sensation Dua Saleh, who links up with prominent producer, singer-songwriter Bon Iver on the velvet-smooth cut, ‘Glow’, a preview single from her forthcoming album, ‘Of Earth & Wires’.

Meanwhile, Egyptian-Iranian artist KUKII brings her infectious energy to Karl F Rivas’ ‘Ever So Lonely (Without You)’, Dubai’s trailblazing band, Abri and The Everlasting comes through with a sophisticated mid-tempo exploration of neo-soul and R&B on ‘Ocean’, and Lebanese artist Sarah Mansour drops a playful anti-Valentine’s pop anthem, ‘S.O.R’.
