"Hamdan was half of Beirut's groundbreaking electro-pop-folk duo Soap Kills before going it alone and causing an international stir with her 2013 solo debut Ya Nass. Here she takes the ideas laid out on that album and runs them all over the globe! ... There are traditional Arabic elements, echoes of French pop, alternative US and UK rock, some loping desert blues guitar and a whiff of the avantgarde. And underpinning it all, the understated passion of Hamdan's voice, on an entirely self-penned set ... Pleasing on first listen, revealing ever more depth on return visits".
