0Egyptian Born Bayou’s “Alone” is Infectious
Egyptian born, Dubai based artist Bayou creates music inspired by his cultural heritage. Growing up in the Middle East, his third single “Alone” combines R&B grooves with Arabian melodies to create a rich sonic soundscape.
Inspired by unrequited love, “Alone” details a relationship on the brink of demise. Imbued with lush flamenco melodies and Bayou’s smooth vocal prowess, the track portrays the struggles of a “‘cat and mouse’ relationship between two lovers”. Bayou explains – “I realised the woman I once cherished manipulated me for her own selfish gain.”
Having lived his whole life in the Middle East, predominantly in Dubai, the artist has a great deal of pride and passion for his Arabian heritage – drawing inspiration from North London artist Col3trane and R&B singer Anfa Rose to create a luxurious groove.
“Alone” is out now – tune in below.
