Sourani, a singer-songwriter with Palestinian and Iraqi heritage, has released a pair of new singles, 'Teer' and 'Namat Al Oyoun', that explore the complexities of the Palestinian experience.
'Teer', employing a one-sided conversation format, delves into themes of loss and resilience. It offers comfort and reassurance to those lost, expressing a message of hope that their homeland and the spirit of the Palestinian people will endure.
'Namat Al Oyoun', featuring Egyptian artist Martina, adopts a more critical lens. The song tackles the perception of international indifference towards the ongoing war on Palestine. Its musical progression mirrors a sense of escalating turmoil, highlighting the chaos and destruction of war.
Sourani has described the two singles, released as a set, as a way to raise awareness about the Palestinian perspective. He emphasizes the importance of amplifying Palestinian voices and challenging the notion of peace existing while Palestine remains unfree.
