Syrian singer Faya Younan has released the song “My Soul and Yours,” the first track from her new album “Seasons,”
a work marked by a strikingly emotional and personal tone. She revealed that it began as a gift for her fiancé before evolving into a musical release that chronicles a special phase of her life.
The song’s release coincided with Faya Younan’s announcement of her engagement, adding an even more intimate dimension to the track.
The artist explained that the song was born a few weeks after her first meeting with her fiancé, after she found in music
a way to express feelings she described as both confusing and beautiful.
Faya Younan Writes and Composes “My Soul and Yours”
The song bears Faya Younan’s artistic signature entirely, as she wrote the lyrics and composed the melody herself.
Joseph Damarjian handled the musical arrangement, with a clear emphasis on the guitar and the ney, which gave the song a calm and warm atmosphere that suits its romantic theme.
This project reflects Faya’s shift toward a more personal direction in her new work, as she chooses to express details of her life and emotions through lyrics she writes herself.
An Old Camera Filmed the Music Video for “My Soul and Yours”
The uniqueness of this project wasn’t limited to the lyrics and melody; Faya’s fiancé directed the music video
using a handheld video camera he’s had since 2000.
The vintage camera added a touch of nostalgia and warmth to the scenes, which featured
Faya in candid shots, far removed from large-scale production and the usual visual effects.
The idea behind the filming was designed to align with the song’s narrative, as the footage became a simple, natural documentation of a phase in the relationship that originally inspired the song.
“Fusul” Marks a New Chapter in Faya Younan’s Career
The song “My Soul and Yours” serves as a prelude to Faya Younan’s upcoming album “Seasons,” which explores various milestones and experiences from her life,
and explores different facets of love, joy, challenges, and the vicissitudes of human life.
Through this album, Faya embarks on a new journey in her career, having written all the songs herself,
presenting a project that conveys her vision and emotions with greater clarity and intimacy.
With a song born as a personal gift and a music video filmed with an old camera, Faya Younan opens the album “Seasons” with a story that brings together music, love, and memories in a single work.
