Moody-pop artist Yasmeen makes her entry on our page with this heartfelt and cinematic tune titled “Stranger”. The track is moody and has a dark and atmospheric aesthetic that is underpinned by Yasmeen’s airy and sultry melodic runs. The title “Stranger” stems from her experiences of feeling lost and alone during a season of change. She had only recently moved to Marina Del Rey, leaving her hometown and everything she knew behind for the first time. Finding comfort in an uncomfortable place, Yasmeen became a stranger to her past and her old mindset. The track digs deep into her fears as she slowly accepts the situation and adapts accordingly.
About Yasmeen:
Finding solace with a notebook and guitar, Yasmeen’s honesty in her music is the only thing that allows her to express freely what her reserved personality does not. Knowing her parents escaped the war in Iraq and made it to the states to live the American Dream is a constant source of inspiration and a reminder of the sacrifices they made. This lesson has stayed with her from the beginning of her music career and allowed her to stay independent while chasing her own vision.
Never one to follow trends, Yasmeen, a singer-songwriter based out of Phoenix, Arizona, has been able to build her brand of moody pop with detailed stories of her personal experiences and life’s challenges. This transparency and willingness to be vulnerable have translated to success with her single, “Half of Me (Acoustic)” garnering over 6M streams on Spotify. Prime placement on multiple Spotify Editorial Playlists has also boosted her entire catalog to new heights (Life Sucks, ArabX, Fresh Finds, New Music Friday North Africa & Egypt, & Gary Vee’s Monday to Monday). In addition, Yasmeen has gained sync placements with 3 different singles including Love is Blind (Netflix), Being Mary Jane (Netflix), Ex on the Beach (MTV), Love Island (Australia & UK), and so on. She has also been recognized by music influencers like Ebro (Apple Music), Brooke Reese (Apple Music), and media outlets like Earmilk and Miss Info. Yasmeen is currently gearing up for her album debut titled, Marina Del Rey with a release in the Fall of 2022.
