Saudi Arabia, January 26 - Saudi artist Yazeed Fahad teams up with Egyptian artist Nassar to open the year with ‘زاد الشوق’ (‘Zad El Shouq’), a warm and emotionally driven release that places expressive songwriting front and center. Built on uplifting guitar chords, cascading accordion lines, and beautifully restrained vocals, the track captures a sense of longing with clarity and grace, further highlighting the shared ability of Yazeed Fahad and Nassar to translate personal feeling into universally resonant music. The release continues a steady rise for both artists, reinforcing their presence as compelling voices within the region’s evolving music landscape, and is now streaming worldwide via MDLBEAST Records.
With this release, ‘Zad El Shouq’ continues Yazeed Fahad and Nassar’s collaborative balance between intimacy and atmosphere. Uplifting guitar chords and flowing accordion melodies form a gentle foundation for their vocals, allowing the emotion to unfold naturally through warm, unforced production that leans on sincerity rather than spectacle. The track is enriched by the collaboration between Yazeed Fahad and Nassar, with Nassar’s contribution adding subtle depth and a wider sensibility, as both artists meet in a shared emotional language that enhances the song’s sense of longing. Their voices and styles complement one another with ease, expanding the track’s reach while preserving its emotional honesty and personal feel.
The release builds on a year that has highlighted Yazeed Fahad’s growing range as a songwriter, while also marking Nassar’s continued artistic presence across emotionally driven collaborations. With ‘Zad El Shouq’, the two artists add another dimension to their evolving catalogues: understated yet expressive, emotionally grounded, and reflective of artists continuing to define their voices while staying true to their roots.
