This six-track project delves into personal themes and emotions, presented through a foundation of rock and electronica.
Singer-songwriter Abed debuts his full-length project ‘Aqaba’, where he blends alternative rock and electronica with soulful melodies and emotive vocals.
This six-track project delves into personal themes and emotions, presented through a foundation of rock, enriched with elements of indie and electronic music. Drawing influence from the Arabic rock sound of the early 2010s, the album incorporates contemporary production that adds a fresh dynamic.
Abed’s production style is heavily centred on string-driven compositions, as heard in tracks like ‘Yolyo Electro’ and the heart-pounding ‘Amel’, while he also ventures into synthwave territory on ‘2001’.
The fusion of electronic and rock creates a nostalgic yet contemporary feel, with meticulous production that establishes ‘Aqaba’ as a mature debut record. His songwriting further showcases his ability to craft profound, heartfelt lyrics.
