Omar Souleyman Details New Album, ‘Erbil’

It takes its name from the Iraqi city that the Syrian artist has been living in recently

Omar Souleyman is lining up his fifth album for release this March.

The eight-track Erbil pays homage to the Iraqi city that the Syrian artist relocated to "during recent uneasy times", according to a press release. It follows on from 2019’s Shlon, and builds on the dabke-influenced sound that Souleyman has explored on past records. You can listen to lead track ‘Rahat Al Chant Ymme’ just below.

Mad Decent will release Erbil on March 29, 2024.
