Nabihah Iqbal - Dreamer

Released 28th April 2023

Using broader concepts, Dreamer is more introspective, because it’s about things that Ive been through over the last few years, says musician, electronic music producer, DJ, NTS presenter and qualified lawyer Nabihah Iqbal. The album is an intimate journey through snapshots and memories of Nabihahs life. Exploring personal identity and grief through the soft-focus lens of melancholy, the album is not one specific sound. Her left-field lo-fi aesthetic twirls itself throughout as she manages to skate between tracks without ever sounding disjointed. Apart from four of the songs which have live drums on them, Nabihah wrote, recorded and produced the album herself. Incorporating the harmonium and sitar in her music for the first time, instruments reflective of her Pakistani heritage, its Nabihahs rawest and most personal work yet.
