A fresh wave of North African releases<\/a> balances contemporary production with deep-rooted musical traditions, drawing on 20th-century pop samples, regional rhythms, and cross-border collaborations.<\/p>\n

Hiba Elgizouli \u2013 ‘Hungry’<\/h2>\n

Independent Sudanese artist Hiba Elgizouli<\/strong> first gained attention in 2018 with visually striking videos created alongside her sisters Sally and Mai. The opening track of her new EP Moya W Nar<\/em>, released in July, was written in 2019. ‘Hungry’ opens with string arrangements reminiscent of Sudan’s golden era, while intricate percussion underpins introspective vocals in Arabic and English.<\/p>\n

Alewya \u2013 ‘Cairo FM’<\/h2>\n

Egyptian-Ethiopian Londoner Alewya<\/strong> has released her debut album Zero<\/em>. The track ‘Cairo FM’ samples El Shab Arrab’s ‘Lw Kan’ and channels a 1970s disco influence. Alewya layers the original groove with a hook and rhythmic chant-rapping, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and current.<\/p>\n

Soolking & Willylancien \u2013 ‘Cogite’<\/h2>\n

Algerian star Soolking<\/strong> and French musician Willylancien<\/strong> join forces on ‘Cogite’, a buoyant summer track built on electronic production and heavy bass. Soolking’s melodic delivery contrasts with lyrics that examine ambition and the nature of fame.<\/p>\n

Ziad Zaza & Tina \u2013 ‘Bahlam Maak’<\/h2>\n

Shortly before his death following a sudden health crisis, Egyptian icon and Al-Masryeen founder Hany Shenouda<\/a><\/strong> granted rapper Ziad Zaza<\/strong> and emerging singer Tina<\/strong> permission to reinterpret his 1979 hit ‘Bahlam Maak’. The duo deliver a piano-led, dreamy duet before drums and electric guitar transform the track into a danceable piece, with Zaza returning to his signature autotuned delivery.<\/p>\n

Tageel & Mvndila \u2013 ‘Gamra’<\/h2>\n

Sudanese artists Tageel<\/strong> and Mvndila<\/strong> have released their joint EP Culture<\/em>, which also marks the start of a distribution deal for Tageel with Mass Appeal Records<\/a><\/strong>. On ‘Gamra’, a pulsating synth line and distorted bass support Mvndila’s energetic performance, while Tageel counters with a grounded rap delivery.<\/p>\n

Inez & Najm \u2013 ‘Nta Liya’<\/h2>\n

Moroccan Dutch singer-songwriter Inez<\/strong> has put out her debut album Farasha<\/em>. The track ‘Nta Liya’ features Moroccan musician Najm<\/strong> and explores themes of dark romance and deep attachment. The production merges contemporary pop, R&B, and Moroccan percussion, allowing both vocalists to express a range of emotions from sadness to resilience.<\/p>\n

Donia Wael \u2013 ‘Feek Haga’<\/h2>\n

Egyptian musician Donia Wael<\/strong> is known for guitar-driven arrangements and introspective lyrics. On ‘Feek Haga’, she shifts toward a more minimalist pop sound with a lighter, playful tone, while retaining her dreamy vocal delivery.<\/p>\n

Connan & Hleem Taj Alser \u2013 ‘Shift’<\/h2>\n

Sudanese rappers Connan<\/strong> and Hleem Taj Alser<\/strong> collaborate on ‘Shift’, a high-energy hip-hop fusion track. Afrobeat percussion, syncopated patterns, and trap influences underpin Connan’s melodic flow, with Alser matching the delivery seamlessly.<\/p>\n

TUL8TE \u2013 ‘Garee3a Awy’<\/h2>\n

Egyptian artist TUL8TE<\/strong> made his Colors<\/a> x Berlin debut with ‘Garee3a Awy’, a single about instant infatuation that previews his forthcoming album. The track leans on 1990s and early 2000s Arab pop nostalgia, pairing conversational lyrics with dramatic string arrangements.<\/p>\n

Rhita Nattah \u2013 ‘Kanbouni’<\/h2>\n

Independent Moroccan artist Rhita Nattah<\/strong> released ‘Kanbouni’ as a call to stand up for what is right. ‘The song is about having words so strong that they feel like a punch to the person hearing them,’ Nattah said. ‘Because authenticity is what makes a person strong.’ The production draws on North African string instrumentation and builds momentum through syncopated, chant-like vocal patterns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A roundup of standout new North African releases blending contemporary sounds with regional musical
