ABIR - HEAT (2020) Hi Res

ABIR releases her sophomore EP, HEAT, representing her heritage and challenging the narrative of what a young Muslim Arabic woman can be.

I consider this project to be the culmination of many years of growth and self-discovery—a journey that extends to a newfound connection with the meaning of my name, an Arabic word that translates as 'fragrance of a flower' and ultimately signifies a certain blossoming into the woman I've become. As a daughter of the East and West, I wanted to explore that duality in my music as well as contribute to the conversation surrounding Arab women + challenge the narrative that exists in today's world.
