Sometimes, it only takes a few notes to be completely captivated. Tamino’s debut album 'Amir' certainly proves to be one of these moments where you instantly feel that the rich textures to come as well as the soothing vocals, often in falsetto, will stay with you for a good while. After having released his 'Habibi' EP earlier this year, the Belgian born newcomer of Egyptian and Lebanese heritage has made an impressive step forward with his debut LP that explores Tamino’s rich traditional Arabic background as well as his love for pop music.
With her freshly released first full-length the young musician from Bergen enters the scene by setting quite an exclamation mark. It's a concept album that spans the course of a relationship, telling a story of love and loss and how they intertwine. With just the right mixture of emotional honesty and catchy pop production, Moyka kindly invites the listener on this journey. NBHAP author Dan Cromb sheds a bit more light on the record and the artist.
