Meryem Aboulouafa Reveals “Evanouie”, From Her Upcoming Album "Meryem"
/
Casablanca born and raised newcomer Meryem Aboulouafa continues to make strides toward the release of her stunning debut album “Meryem” with gorgeous new offering “Evanouie”, a slow burning chamber-pop offering which wraps the listener in gorgeous tones from the outset. Speaking on the track, Meryem states:
This song was born from a great desire to explore the mysteries of a total lack of consciousness and its partial recovery.
A consciousness that is sometimes so heavy that it vanishes to allow a deep sleep, with long breaths and the tension relief that usually follows great events, whether they are happy or sad.
Having never fainted, I picture myself in this fictional story, the events of which are abstract - are these beautiful or bad emotions? Is it a recent meeting or some old story ? Who is this ? A brain reboot, like a new opportunity to live (things) again.
With the upcoming “Meryem” album, Meryem Aboulouafa excels at what we might call a ‘game of references,’ as it would be futile to track down her many influences. We can only barely draw parallels with Kate Bush for her limitless imagination, with James Blake for this rare art of creating intimacy and the emotions that flow from it, or with Oum Kalsoum, for this ability to hypnotize through a universal language without denying the musical traditions of his origins. Even if the woman and the artist are still asking questions, the answers offered by the magnificent Meryem are enough to create powerful feelings of joy.
