Egyptian synth-pop artist Nour is featured on globally renowned electronic group, WhoMadeWho’s new LP ‘Kiss & Forget’, with a track titled ‘A3la’.
The track explores the ephemeral nature of falling in love through introspective lyricism which Nour presents with wispy vocals that float effortlessly on a highly emotive and melodic house production, decorated with pulsating pop rhythms. The song builds up with a dreamy bass riff, courtesy of the Danish trio’s bass player Tomas Høffding, culminating in a lush synth symphony and ambient cuts bursting with a carousel of emotions that is youthful and euphoric.
WhoMadeWho is a Copenhagen-based experimental electronic outfit, comprised of Tomas Høffding, Tomas Barfod, and Jeppe Kjellberg, whose electrifying combination of sounds merging a variety of influences, from pop, house to disco and synthwave, has cemented them as one of the definitive underground bands of their generation, as well as a sensation in the world’s biggest electronic music festivals.

SceneNoise got an exclusive preview of the video for ‘A3la’. Adding an off-kilter charm to the track, the video features a group of painters in a warehouse drawing abstract patterns haphazardly in a maroon shade on a white canvas-donned mannequin as an acute portrayal of the emotional complexities of falling in love.
