Evolution is what defines Naila’s artistic career; letting her art speak for itself and carry with it its quest for depth, purpose and meaning. As both an artist and singer/songwriter, Naila’s latest single ‘Lonely Tower’ is evocative, colourful and lush, including many textures in the sound. Lonely Tower tackles the nuances of the journey to finding power and love within oneself – to believe that you are ultimately magic, according to a release by Radical. Her career began with a series of collaborations with Montreal-based music producer Ash, yielding hit singles such as “Give a Little”, “Coward”. In 2019, Naila released her first EP with Denmark based label Heku Blue Records, and since then has embarked on her musical journey from her home in Cairo. In the creation of a visual language for the music, the portraits shot by Cairo-based photographer Mena Assad showcase Naila as a raw and real subject, in a solitary place of comfort and security; symbolizing strength and resilience. Egyptian Streets spoke with Naila to know more about the rising talent and her journey as an artist in Egypt. How do you prepare yourself each day?…
