In this episode of our video series ‘WORD’, Egyptian artist DJU DJU talks to us about her track ‘NGUM MATET’. She dissects the song’s concept and main themes, guiding us through the ideas behind the track and how the production came together. In this track, DJU DJU creates an immersive soundscape that her voice submerges into, producing a dreamy and soothing atmosphere.
This contrasts with the song’s concept, which explores the theme of a dying star heading endlessly towards nowhere. While the instrumentation is calming and dreamy, the lyrics are raw and emotional.
WORD is SceneNoise’s series where we invite artists from across the MENA region to enlighten us about the meaning behind their most iconic verses, offering a glimpse into their writing process.
