The Egyptian-born and Montreal-based producer and singer Nadal El Shazly is back with her second solo record. "Laini Tani" combines electronic production style with influences from Arabic traditional singing and rhythms. Svenja Isabel Hudson spoke to Nadah El Shazly about the story behind it.
In a matter of reviving a classic songwriter spirit, Norwegian folk artist Signe Marie Rustad’s recent record turns a hopeful spirit into artistic courage and a nostalgic feel. For a new edition of our folk column we took the opportunity to chat her up and let her elaborate on the process, going into the tracks of her new record "Particles Of Faith" in detail. Make sure you also head into the playlist, which she co-curated with us for this occasion.
