Blu Fiefer, a Lebanese-Mexican indie pop star whose soulful voice and dynamic sound has been garnering attention across the globe, returns with a playful hip-shaking track ‘Ghtayta’.
Produced and mixed by Blu Fiefer herself, the track features quirky Arabic lyrics, where she sings about having fun, letting loose and partying with abandon. The bouncing basslines, frenetic tabla arrangements, and intricate synth-heavy production of the track exude the vibes of what an Arabic version of Brat Summer would be like. The provocatively danceable track will get you grooving without even realizing it.
Continuing her legacy of creating distinct sonic and visual aesthetics, the cameo-filled provocative music video for ‘Ghtayta’ opens up with Blu Fiefer as a TV presenter, donned in an off-putting slimy/brat green suit, promoting chamomile herbs. The camera then turns, following different versions of Fiefer; one glamorously dressed in a gigantic faux-fur coat, while the other in a hippie tie-dyed shirt on her tripping sojourn. As the beat slows nearing the track’s outro, the lush instrumentation gets intersected with blares of police sirens, singling a dramatic plot twist and a wild house party gone wrong.
