Saint Levant has been trending on Tik Tok and Instagram lately. Surfing the, let me call it, Justin Timberlake R’n’B vibe, making it better, cooler and spicier. Not to forget the plurilingual songs which makes the whole thing more contemporary, maybe even avant-gardist.
When I see today’s youth, I ought to think that the language is not a barrier anymore. The Internet has made it easier to translate, and somehow social media has made us more open to other lifestyles and cultures.
Saint Levant's success has made it clear, this is the time for "Inclusion" and it’s just the beginning...
According to an article in The New York Times, Abdelhamid is aspiring to more than a loverman persona.
“I'm not done making political music”, he says.
Speaking of his future, he’s up to exploring the possibilities that his success as a singer might afford him. At this time, he’s funding a short story collection in which Palestinian writers “describe a free Palestine through the lens of love”. He wants to open therapy clinics in the Arab World and buy the hotel his father built in Gaza, Al Deira. He also hopes to invest in Al Wahdet, the soccer team he used to play for in Jordan.
Great exemples of his engaged songs, Haifa in a Tesla, guesting Bella Hadid, and, the lately released Tell me i'm dreaming, vintage, emotional and documentary type of aesthetics...
What i find really intreguing about Saint Levant is that he has started from scratch, with a full independent team and no big label names... No dream is too big for the artist.
