For her second album “five seconds flat”, songwriter Lizzy McAlpine went to great lengths to peel off the indie folk recognition of her debut from two years back. NBHAP editor Andreas zoomed up the rising pop phenomenon to chat about growing out of folk music, our ever-lasting urge to start anew and how the record reflects her matured state of mind.
The Berlin-based musician Yousef Kekhia just released his sophomore record "Polylog". It follows the introspective "Monologue" but turns its gaze outwards. Influenced by conversations, encounters, and exchange the record is a fluid piece of music opening doors and asking questions. We met the artist to speak about his music and he curated a "Beyond Borders" playlist update with his personal favorites from the contemporary Arab music scene.
