Saturday at 21:554 days Author 176NAZARETHLana LubanyI fancied a sonic switch-up this contest and decided to browse some Arabic Pop which is where I found the wonderful Lana Lubany, and this track in particular. She's a Palestinian-American alt-pop newcomer looking to bring Arabic-infused Pop to the mainstream. She currently has 181k monthly listeners on Spotify, with NAZARETH third most popular on just over 2 million streams. Of the song's meaning, she says:“It explores identity and belonging in an environment where you don’t always feel welcome. I’ve always felt like I was in between worlds - an outsider. After having finally accepted my own identity, I was met with yet another struggle to gain acceptance from the world. While navigating these obstacles, music has been my healing point, where I felt like I could fully be myself. ‘YAFA’ the project is a safe space for the in-betweeners and beyond.”
