Mishaal Tamer Channels Optimism and Transformation On ‘BABA FEIN’

Half Saudi half Ecuadorian rising pop star Mishaal Tamer releases new single BABA FEIN, an optimistic number which the musician both writes and produces. BABA FEIN fuses numerous sonic influences, exploring themes of transformation and progressive change.

One of Saudi’s most prominent musicians, Mishaal shares: “In the Arab world, parents have traditionally struggled to allow their children to pursue careers in creative fields, but this is clearly starting to change. ‘BABA FEIN’ is an ode to this transformation. As a Saudi independent artist, I’m immensely proud to say that the pace of this change is most palpable in Saudi Arabia.

He continues: “Today we are seeing creatives up-and-coming all across the Arab world, and it’s a beautiful thing to witness. The song samples the classic nursery rhyme “بابافين” and includes a line that my father jokingly said to me about my career: “If you’re going to be a clown, you’d better be the best.””

BABA FEIN will be featured on Mishaal’s upcoming debut album Home Is Changing. The album will consist of five chapters, each representing a different subject, including tracks from Mishaal’s EPs THE DEEP and THE HEART.
