4:30Song Image
A lush Arabic Space Disco track begins with hypnotic oud riffs layered atop analog synth bass, setting a cosmic groove, Whisper-sung female vocals float over a 4/4 beat, with airy harmonies and deep reverb, Disco hi-hats flicker, synth strings and arps weave through celestial pads, Pulsing bassline drives a retro-futuristic radio cut mix, building to a dreamy, echo-laden fade-out
3:32Song Image
A melancholic yet hopeful French-inspired track, opening with subtle sitar and muted fingerstyle guitar, Rabab introduces an expressive melodic line, while gentle darbouka patterns drive the rhythm, Strings swell in the chorus, layering under the rabab and weaving warmth through the texture
6:28Song Image
An epic symphonic-prog-metal ballad begins with intimate clean electric and acoustic guitars alongside expressive strings, Verses remain sparse, spotlighting rasping, dynamic male vocals, Each chorus builds to a huge wall of sound—distorted guitars, dramatic strings, cinematic drums, and soaring operatic vocal holds—intertwining orchestral and power rock grooves, A central, fiery lead guitar solo is supported by driving bass and thunderous percussion, The arrangement surges with intense dynamic contrast, shifting fluidly between spiritual quiet and electrifying climaxes

3:41Song Image
Duet, dynamic vocal ranges, A luminous fusion where Persian mysticism meets late-night hip-hop and dream-drug haze, The hook glides like a prayer turned groove-melodic phrases recall themselves in one breath, weaving Farsi inflections with trap-tempo heartbeat, Harmony blooms from minor modal roots, folding Persian airy synths over a liquid cycle that melts between tradition and pulse, The rhythm swings with velvet swagger: crisp snares and whispered 808s trap verses that flow like meditation over motion, Vocals shimmer half-rap, half-invocation each bar a breath between spirit and street, Textures layer smoke and silk: reverb-drenched ney flute, tremolo bass, lo-fi hiss like incense, The energy arcs from dusk introspection to sunrise release, echoing death-to-rebirth, Ends with a loop that begs replay, equally at home in desert wind or neon skyline

A slow 12/8 blues ballad in A minor at 70 BPM with melancholic and haunting atmosphere, Built on clean electric guitar bends with heavy vibrato, warm bass, laid-back shuffle drums, and mournful harmonica answering each vocal line, the arrangement is spacious and emotional, Male vocals only—raspy, soulful, reflective—delivered in a style that shifts between conversational phrasing in the verses and aching, belted cries in the choruses, Vocals are front and dry with plate reverb for depth, while guitar and harmonica provide call-and-response fills that echo the vocal emotion, Organ swells enter subtly to thicken climaxes, but the mix remains raw and analog with warmth and grit, The track rises in intensity during the choruses before resolving into a stripped outro with a final guitar bend and harmonica line fading into reverb, The overall feel is sincere, melodic, and deeply blues-driven, evoking timeless Americana soul, male vocals, blues rock, slow blues, americana, raspy, soulful, reflectiv

An atmospheric and melodic Ethereal Wave / Mystical Folk track, Features soaring, reverb-drenched vocals over a blend of traditional-sounding instrumentation (like flute, cello, or sparse percussion) and modern, ambient synth pads, The song builds from a sparse, narrative-driven verse into a vast, soaring, and ecstatic chorus
4:55Song Image
4:20Song Image
A cinematic art-rap protest ballad with gospel-pop choruses and ambient instrumentation, The vocal tone shifts from raw and intimate to epic and layered, supported by analog Rhodes, lo-fi guitar, gospel harmonies, sub-heavy bass, and glitch textures, Emotional arc builds from sparse urgency to full-bodied protest, expanding across a wide stereo soundstage with immersive effects and rhythmic variation
4:42Song Image
Upbeat Psychedelic Minimal melodic persian House, 126 BPM, The track is defined by a funky, infectious bouncy melody, catchy motifs, and crystalline production, A dry, tight kick drum locks with a playful, rubbery sine-wave bassline playing a syncopated groove, Persian elements are treated as high-tech ear candy: Setar and Tar samples are micro-chopped into glitchy, percussive rhythms, while Qanun notes appear as sparkling, delay-soaked droplets, The stereo field is wide and active with ping-pong vocal chops and bizarre foley sounds (water, wood, metal), The vocal performance is melodic, soulful and rhythmic, riding the swing of the beat with an infectious modal earworm motif melody, The evolution is subtle but constant, moving from sparse, quirky grooves to a lush, hypnotic peak where the Persian scales (Hijaz) blend seamlessly with modern tech-house swing, Color palette: Neon Turquoise and Gold
4:21Song Image
Upbeat 80s-inspired synth-pop with driving electronic drums and bright analog synths, Punchy kick and snappy snare create an energetic four-on-the-floor beat around 170 BPM (double-time feel), Layered arpeggiated synth basslines and shimmering pads build a euphoric pulse, supported by rhythmic guitar stabs and lush reverb-washed keys, Lead vocals are smooth and emotional, backed by airy harmonies and echoing ad-libs, The chorus explodes with side-chained synth waves and crisp hi-hats, evoking the rush of night-driving through neon lights, Mood: nostalgic, cinematic, electric — melancholy wrapped in motion
5:27Song Image
A hypnotic trip-hop groove at 90 BPM in D minor underpins deep analog bass, brushed drums, and warm Rhodes, Distant tabla, ethereal slide guitar, and ambient pads swirl, while sitar and oud add Arabic phrasing, Intimate, half-spoken vocals with airy female harmonies weave through rising reverbs, The mix ascends from meditative minimalism to a lush, layered sonic peak, then recedes to stillness, Warm tape saturation and analog grit evoke a dusky, mystic desert atmosphere crossed with modern dream pop
