If you haven't heard about her already, please allow this rec to be your formal introduction to this Canadian hidden gem.
Nemah Hasan (aka Nemahsis) is a Palestinian-Canadian singer-songwriter from Milton, Ontario who is creating some beautifully poignant music that goes beyond your standard catchy alt-pop. The thought put into everything from her music videos to the actual lyricism of her songs has so many layers of meaning that it's impossible not to rewatch and relisten to her work to fully experience all those levels of subtext.
Her latest album, Verbathim, releases September 13th and I'm genuinely excited to hear what she's been working on.
In the meantime, if you'd like to get an amuse-bouche of her music, give a listen to:
stick of gum
i wanna be your right hand
coloured concrete
you wore it better
This gal is legit so underrated. I hope you enjoy her music as much as I have :)
