WORD: Fulana - Ya Thalam Ya Kabes
Saudi Arabian artist Fulana tells us about her journey with mental health and fully exploring her emotions on her latest track.
In this episode of WORD, Saudi Arabian artist and producer Fulana tells us about the lyrics behind her introspective synth-pop track ‘Ya Thala Ya Kabes’ from NoiseRecords’ 13 track compilation album ‘Manshaa’.
Having been misdiagnosed with borderline personality disorder, the artist had viewed her feelings as overly dramatic and extreme in the past, but after coming to terms with her way of thinking, Fulana states that she now understands herself better. On ‘Ya Thalam Ya Kabes’, she allows herself to process her emotions in the way that explores both the darkness and the joy that she feels, while embracing her individuality and unique perspective.
