Short info:

After the acclaimed "Wenu Wenu" & "Bahdeni Nami" released in 2015 and the success of "To Syria With Love" (2017) followed by collaborations with Björk and Four Tet, Omar Souleyman presents his fourth and new studio album “Shlon”. The album's romantic poetry is the work of Moussa Al Mardood - a long-time collaborator of Omar's who currently lives in Turkey - who wrote the songs in the studio during the recording sessions. 6 tracks are offered to us with Love as the one and only theme. All the tracks are based on techno with an avant-garde sound in the genre and on high-speed Kurdish and Arabic dabkes and styles, except for the track ‘Mawwal’, whose rhythm is traditionally slower.

Short info:

"To Syria, With Love", Omar Souleyman's new album released on June 2nd on Diplo's label Mad Decent. The record introduces itself as the follower of his 2015 al bum "Bahdeni Nami", and features new "techno" elements, thanks to arranger Hasan Alo. The first available track is "Ya bnayya", which means "girl" in English. Here, Omar Souleyman remembers the time where he fell in love with a beautiful brunette on first sight with a background of feasting drums.

Souleyman, who already collaborated with Björk and Four Tet, began his carreer as a wedding singer, with almost 500 live albums before the civil war bursts out in Syria in 2011. He moves in Turkey and releases in 2013 his album Wenu Wenu. In 2015, the album Bahdeni Nami gets an extraordinary amount of positive critics, of which The Guardian's just below.

CD bonus track "Tensana" is exclusive to this Because Music album release.
