LIST PICK

YASMINE  HAMDAN HON هون

Beirut-born, Paris-based producer, singer and songwriter Yasmine Hamdan has revealed her newest single, ‘Hon هون’. She says the track offers reflection on “tiny land with a gaping wound” and presents this via a tense, anxiety-ridden accompaniment defined by deep, dark textures and cinematic grandeur. The track continues to show Hamdan’s impressive ability to craft an unpredictable musical landscape that engages with experimental pop, exploratory electronics and pan-Arabian music. The video that accompanies the track is a true piece of artistic expression, with complex, open-to-interpretation metaphors mirroring the track through animation and stop motion. Look out for more boundary-pushing work from Yasmine Hamdan throughout 2025. -Dan Peeke
