The group’s spoke with Billboard, with Farah sharing: “The last 10 months living in LA have been intense. We’ve been working on new music that we’re really excited about that has brought us together as a band like never before.” Rozenblat adds “It’s been hard with the conflict back home. We’ve lost friends and have been grieving for the victims caught in this war. We’re really lucky we have each other for support.”
Lin shares: “It’s been a whirlwind of emotions, with moments of both happiness and sadness. But the most important thing we’ve learned is how to stay together as one.” Whilst Attia notes: “We are here to make music and unite people. It doesn’t matter where you are from, what your background is or your beliefs are. We can like the same music and get joy from the same song. We can hug each other, and experience the same emotions. That’s what makes us human. We’re here to show people we’re still together even though we can be different.”
