The playlist features new releases by Samar Tarik, 3enba, Montiyago, Tul8te and more.
On this edition of our Shreet Cocktail playlist, we’re bringing you some of the best releases across the MENA region from the past couple of weeks, featuring notable stars like Samar Tarik, Tul8te, 3enba and more.
First off the list is Shobra Elgeneral’s ‘Madloaa’ from his upcoming album ‘City Sky’. The track integrates elements from traditional Zaar with accelerated electronic dance beats, exploring the common feeling of dissatisfaction with life among Egyptian youth. Despite the subject matter, it’s bouncy, fresh and irresistibly danceable.
Next up, we have ‘Cima’ by Sudanese rapper Montiyago featuring Egyptian producer Big Moe. A classic post-heartbreak track, ‘Cima’ paints a somewhat cinematic portrayal of the healing quest one goes on in an attempt to reconcile with their pain from a former relationship. Through introspective lyricism, the track tackles the lingering emotions of longing and regret that follow a breakup from a long-term committed relationship.
Last but not least, we have ‘Hagra Wara2a Ma2s’ by Egyptian singer-songwriter Samar Tarik, a little teaser off of the artist’s forthcoming EP ‘Far2 Taw2eet’, which will mark her first-extenShobra Elgeneral - ‘Madloaa’ Nista - ‘3atma W Keef’ Hoosh - ‘Loop’ Montiyago x Big Moe - ‘Cima’ Samar Tarik - ‘7agara Wara2a M2as’ Pink Seasalt - ‘Moonlight’ Tul8te - ‘Habeeby Leh’ Kenza Blanka - ‘Wahia Baba’ Ft.
