Areej Shares New Single ‘Hostage’

West London-born, Moroccan-Sudanese newcomer Areej has just shared her debut EP G.B.O.F. (Guided By Our Fears), out now via Ultra Records. 

 

This project features her acclaimed first releases Guided and Bloodshed, arriving now led by unflinching new single Hostage. What I like the most about this song is how smooth and soulful it is, instantly setting quite a calm and soothing atmosphere perfect for those days when I want to unwind after a stressful day. Areej's gorgeous vocals effortlessly convey the emotion of her relatable storytelling of feeling both physically and mentally like a prisoner. This song is wrapped around a jazzy, soulful R&B production with lush piano chords and brass elements that beautifully enhance the song's warmth and chill vibes. Check it out below!
