Oriental Psychedelic Sounds and Funky Grooves

Aicha Haskal's voice is smooth and warm voice and switches seamlessly between Arabic chants, parlando and even rap. 
The Arabic lyrics of the single ‘Ghalat’ were written by the Egyptian poet Abdelhamid Farag, who calls himself a 'poète de l' éloignement'. His lyrics are permeated with deep melancholy and romance. The single is a tribute to Abdelhamid, who passed away in 2020.
The single 'L'Amour Digital' is based on 'Sihtou Wajdan', a traditional Muwashah. Muwashah is a poetic form that originated in Al-Andalus (Muslim Spain in the 11th century). Aicha adds to the poem a reply in French, giving the song a universal and interconnecting flair.

Ghalat

Oriental psychedelic sounds and funky grooves. With this song singer Aïcha wants to pay tribute to her name, which literally means 'freedom'. The song reflects her rebellious voice that rises up against oppression of women and fights for revolution. The melody translates this protest by creating an atmosphere that runs the gamut from intimate nostalgia to stirring rhythms.

Ya Majnoun literally translates as 'the possessed one'. The song refers to phases of our lives where we are possessed by love, life, passion, the devil, etc. With its mesmerizing oriental vocal line, the tune translates this into a rousing psychedelic track with graceful bass lines and funky synth tunes.
