There is a singular resonance and newfound heft in this music previously unheard in Bedouine’s discography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"457\" data-end=\"819\"\u003eBedouine is known for making gentle, lilting folk songs that build fingerpicked guitar melodies into tsunamis of emotion. Her masterful songwriting and timeless melodies have earned her praise from publications like \u003cstrong data-start=\"673\" data-end=\"686\"\u003ePitchfork\u003c\/strong\u003e, who said her music “boasts a surreal calm and lived in glow,” and \u003cstrong data-start=\"754\" data-end=\"771\"\u003eRolling Stone\u003c\/strong\u003e, who lauded her “humble folk-pop brilliance.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"949\" data-end=\"1211\"\u003eWhile working on the record, Bedouine realized the pain of displacement, of searching for home, has been a throughline in her family history. Other relatives have also experienced this sense of loss as they’ve migrated between Armenia, Syria, and Saudi Arabia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1213\" data-end=\"1377\"\u003e“I felt so frustrated about the places that I'm from becoming war torn or difficult to return to,” she says. “My family has been split apart time and time again.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1379\" data-end=\"1586\"\u003eThis realization prompted her to document and honor her parents’ lives and stories. On a family trip to Houston, Bedouine recorded a conversation with her mother and sampled the introduction to \u003cem data-start=\"1573\" data-end=\"1583\"\u003eCanopies\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1588\" data-end=\"1893\"\u003eThe song tells the story of her mother’s time in an orphanage. She was put there by her own mother as a way of escaping her abusive father. Nearby, her mother would sing about feeling her daughter’s essence in the air: “The waves of Beirut's beaches flutter, and how sweetly they blow my darling's air.” It’s a story of profound yearning told with the quiet profundity of a flower blossoming.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bedouine Music","offers":[{"title":"Indies Olive Green Vinyl LP","offer_id":58052707615065,"sku":"SDZ-45835","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":58052587520345,"sku":"SDZ-45834","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":58052587487577,"sku":"SDZ-45833","price":14.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/0043747946_10.jpg?v=1778672241","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/bedouine-neon-summer-skin","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
