Omar Souleyman Announces New Album Shlon, Shares New Song Layle

Omar Souleyman Shlon Layle – Following his critically acclaimed, Four Tet-produced studio debut Wenu Wenu, its follow up Bahdeni Nami, and 2017 Mad Decent debut To Syria, With Love, Syrian wedding singer turned global dance icon Omar Souleyman today announces his 4th studio album Shlon due out November 22nd via Mad Decent / Because Music.

 
 

 
 



 
 
On Shlon (Arabic for “how,” or literally “which color”), Omar Souleyman presents 6 new techno-meets-dabke songs of romance and love to the world — singing poetry of a woman’s lips as sweet as Hillah’s dates on “Layle”; an intriguing woman he watches from afar whose kiss would be worth 10 million other kisses on “Shlon”; a lover ready to offer his beloved anything she wishes under the sun on “Shi Tridin” (“What Do You Wish For?”); a man in admiration of a woman with green eyes and blonde hair on “Abou Zlilif” (“Her Face is Like The Moon”); a song about love that will last forever on “Mawwal”, a traditional — all superimposed on complex techno arrangements by Hasan Alo, and based on the hi-speed Kurdish and Arabic dabke and baladi styles with the exception of “Mawwal” being presented in its traditionally slower pace.

Shlon features double keyboard work from Hasan Alo, a fellow native of the Hasaka region in Northeastern Syria who has recently been active in the vibrant nightlife scene of Dubai. Azad Salih, a young Syrian man currently living in Mardin, Turkey, accompanies on saz, with the lyrics and love poetry written on the spot during the album’s recording session by longtime Omar collaborator Moussa Al Mardood – also currently based in Turkey.

 
 

 
 
 
Omar Souleyman will be performing live this Friday, October 18th at ADE (Amsterdam Dance Event) alongside a stellar lineup of DJs and electronic artists including Axel Bowman, DJ Seinfeld, DJ Tennis, Red Axes, Eli Iwasa, Mor Elian, and more. Tickets available here, more tour dates below.
