Crossing borders, boundaries and the realms of musical normality – Ziyad Al-Samman's EP, Pleasure Complex, is a vibrant and eclectic journey through indie, disco, and psychedelic pop. The five-track project showcases Al-Samman's knack for crafting infectious melodies and introspective lyrics, all while maintaining a playful, danceable energy. The EP's standout track, "Ya Habibi," is a testament to the artists ability to blend genres seamlessly. The song's driving beat, catchy chorus, and swirling synths create an irresistible groove that's impossible to ignore. Elsewhere on the EP, tracks like "Bang" and "Space" showcase Al-Samman's versatility, as he effortlessly transitions from disco-infused bangers to atmospheric, introspective ballads.

“Ya Habibi wrote itself pretty instantly with Jules, it just exploded! We tapped into some childlike innocence and energy. We were just lucky to tap into that energy and I’m so grateful to have this song in my arsenal. It’s so infectious and special to me and I hope others will feel that.” – Ziyad Al-Samman

Lyrically, "Pleasure Complex" delves into themes of love, identity, and the complexities of human emotion. Al-Samman's introspective lyrics, delivered with a smooth and soulful vocal style, invite the listener to reflect on their own experiences with love and loss. It's an EP with some moments of emotion, as well as a raw danceability – never forgetting that at it's core, this music should be fun.

LIVE DATES

Transmusicales – Rennes, France – 4 December

EP Launch w/Bad Vibrations – MOTH Club, London – 10 December
