Tunisian singer-songwriter Emel Mathlouthi returns with a powerful and epic work, at the crossroads of cultures and genres. "A new committed and poetic opus where Arab influences merge with powerful beats and heartbreaking melodies." FiPEmel became known when her 2012 track 'Kelmti Horra (My Word Is Free)' became an anthem during the Arab Spring, earning her the title of "voice of the Tunisian revolution," and then an invitation to perform during the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony in 2015. Her sincere and powerful music defies genres, blending electronic, Tunisian textures, and a cinematic universe. Combining the political and the personal, Emel, carried by her exceptionally expressive voice with a wide range, expresses her feelings but also those of many people. "It is important for me to give a voice to those who are not heard. And I believe that art is its own message, and that especially when one comes from a repressive, or ignored, area, the simplest act of saying 'Hey, I'm here' is important – the art of presence and reclamation."On this second album, 'Ensen', Emel distills her electronic and acoustic music into a style that is resolutely her own, citing Ben Frost, Samaris, and James Blake as artistic influences. With several producers, including Valgeir Sigurðsson (Sigur Rós, Feist) and her main collaborator, the French-Tunisian Amine Metani, Emel recorded her new album in seven countries and two continents.
