Donia Wael Debuts All-Girl Band in Live Session for Single ‘Ezay'
Donia Wael closes her EP with a lush live session for 'Ezay', performing for the first time with an all-female backing band. Jun 16, 2025 Egyptian singer-songwriter Donia Wael wraps up her emotionally layered EP 'Bifkrny Beek' with a final single and live session titled 'Ezay' - and despite being the end of the record, this release comes with a fresh beginning. For the first time, Donia performs alongside an all-female live band, a move that deepens the intimacy of the song and expands her sonic identity. The session features four rising musicians in Egypt's alternative scene: Maram Elsabbagh (Keys), Randa Shoukry (Electric Guitar), Dalia Abdelaziz (Percussion), and Sama Sherif (Cello). Set in a warmly lit space framed by retro Arabic film posters, the performance balances softness with clarity, matching the arc of Donia's EP: heartbreak, reflection, and quiet strength. 'Ezay' marks a sonic and visual shift, her vocals more assured, her storytelling more grounded. This release follows Donia's recent turns in acting ('Rivo', 'El Harsha El Sabaa') and viral music success ('Bekya', 'El 3asal'), now returning to music with sharpened focus and collaborative spirit.

May 07, 2025 We're back with another installment of our flagship cocktail playlist,'Shuffle', this time bringing you a hefty selection of new regional releases across every kind of genre and style. The playlist features Egyptian-Sudanese alt-pop shapeshifter Nxdia with 'More!', a provocative, hard-hitting tune that explores themes of desire and the intensity of new love through the compelling electric and punk feel that Nxdia is known for. Then, we have the trailblazing Italian-Palestinian artist TÄRA with 'Ya Helwe Ciao', a powerful rendition of the famous Italian resistance song, 'Bella Ciao'. Next up on the list is the Egyptian singer Donia Wael with 'Shams W Amar', a sweet and melancholic tune co-produced by Hatembas and rap superstar Marwan Moussa. We also have Turkish-born artist INJI turning messy situationships into a fearless dance-pop banger, 'U WON'T'. The track is accompanied by a music video, shot on a shoestring budget, that oozes with DIY grit and raw emotional power. The playlist also features rising Kuwait-based Lebanese-Syrian artist Rita Malek with an afro-inflected pop, 'Ya Dunyay', from her upcoming debut EP, along with fresh tunes from Hawas, Vinyl Mode, Sami Galbi and more.
