Shapeshift - an indie arab singer-songwriter's attempt to coverge her two fragmented worlds together through words and music. Made with love over 2 time zones, 4 studios, & with 18 very diverse artists. All songs were recorded acoustically, and some of the best memories I have are of the live band and harmony takes. Ironically, the duet featuring Yazan and his song Trooh was recorded separately across continents!

Long After

Trooh (Acoustic Duet) ft. Yazan Rousan

I loved working on this EP. Organic, intimate, and deliberate in its freeform - anchored by the Steinway we recorded on. You can hear the sound of the wood through the piano, like breathing. Or a whale traveling. Cover art - photo: candid snuck in as I waited outside the 'piano room'. Liner notes included.

How We Love

How We Love - Hana Malhas 2021

Bluesy minimalistic verse, opens up to a wall of stomps, claps and moving choirs to setup for the explosive anthemic rock chorus.

‘Mazar’ blends hip-hop grooves with folk-rock roots, culminating in a formidable blues rock chorus. Speak your truth, even when others try to silence you. Liberate yourself from whatever is imprisoning you.

Mazar Hana Malhas

Singer-songwriter meets electronic dance, with an irresistible oud riff and organic crafted house beats. This anthem's clear message? Find strength within, even if it means dancing alone on an empty floor, basking in your own unique brand of madness.
