Egyptian singer and composer Nadah El Shazly returns with Laini Tani, a bold and captivating experimental album released through One Little Independent Records. Drawing from classical Egyptian instrumentation, industrial textures, and dream pop atmospheres, El Shazly weaves together a vast soundscape that feels both deeply rooted in tradition and strikingly forward-thinking. Her velvety voice navigates Arabic scales and the saba maqam with haunting precision, making this one of the most distinctive and ambitious releases of 2025.
Laini Tani is a deeply thoughtful work, with El Shazly describing her intent as "getting the poetry and the music out of the tombs" — contrasting heavy, confessional lyrics with rhythmic, dance-influenced compositions in a way that honors the spirit of Egyptian music. The album was supported by AFAC and the Canada Arts Council, a testament to the cultural weight and artistic ambition behind the project. Listeners seeking music that is innovative, meticulously crafted, and emotionally resonant will find something truly special here.
