47SOUL Drops ‘Dualism Pt.1’ EP - A Tribute to Palestinian Journalists

After teasing their upcoming new record for months with a steady influx of preview singles, Palestinian shamstep pioneers 47Soul have finally released the first installment of their highly anticipated album, ‘Dualism’.

Born out of grief and resilience, the three-track EP is a heartfelt tribute to the Palestinian journalists who have been risking their lives to report on the atrocities happening in Palestine, exploring feelings of desolation and refusal to accept the genocide as a cyclical reality.

The EP features ‘Ghost Town’ and ‘Ya Kho’, which were both released as preview singles of the record, the latter of which marked a shift in the band’s signature sound, offering more nuanced electronic arrangements of electric guitar riffs and minimal percussion.

The newest track on the album, however, is ‘Power’, a subversive commentary on the brutal Zionist occupation, highlighting the perpetual destruction and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. The track blends space-age electronics with traditional folk influences, capturing the devastating daily life of Palestinians through sharp Arabic and English lyricism and El Far3i’s powerful vocal performance.
