Nabihah Iqbal Creates Space to Dream

A Deeper Listen - A podcast by KEXP - Tuesdays

Categories:

Nabihah Iqbal’s latest album, DREAMER, is a lush and atmospheric meditation on love and loss. It incorporates elements of shoegaze and dance music and weaves in instrumentation that nods to her Pakistani roots.  Nabihah speaks with KEXP’s Isabel Khalili about how a studio burglary led her to a more stripped-down approach to songwriting for this album, the first poem that made her cry, and how her practices with karate, DJing, and poetry all relate to her music-making.Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/sound/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
