Fatima Al Qadiri Readies New EP 3TWI (عتوي)
Fatima Al Qadiri's got a new project on the way, and it's coming with some cheeky terminology attached. It’s the kind of cultural specificity that makes her work so refreshingly rooted. An EP that opens with a track celebrating youth and beauty, framed by a title borrowed from Kuwaiti slang, suggests she's playing with language and meaning in that clever way her fans have come to expect. For anyone interested in electronic music that's genuinely got something to say beyond the dancefloor, this feels like essential listening ahead.
From Pitchfork: Named after the Kuwaiti Arabic femme slang for “dirty old man,” the EP launches with “7ilween” (“pretty young things”)
