BODUR taps into Maqam with new single TAPESTRY [HIJAZ]

BODUR is back with TAPESTRY [HIJAZ] where she is embarking on a new chapter.

Heavily influenced by Maqam (a traditional Arabic music system), the northwest London native fully embraces her Middle Eastern and South Asian heritage. Sharp vocals cut through the Gabriel Gifford production on this one.

Following from her widely well-received EP ÖZ, TAPESTRY [HIJAZ] sounds like a natural progression as BODUR continues to experiment, leaving us excited for what she has next in-store.

With this single, we get a video directed by Furmaan Ahmed that perfectly visualises all of the above.
