On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Mayssa Jallad! The Beirut-based artist is one of my absolute favorites. Not only do I love how she writes songs, but I come away from her work feeling as though I’ve learned something new. She’s incredible. We talk about her latest song, “Taamir (Bahriyyeh),” and then get into Jacques Brel, The Bunny Tylers, Fairuz, The Magnetic Fields, Radiohead, Postcards, Jamiroquai, Melhem Barakat + more!
Listen to all of Mayssa’s picks HERE
“Taamir (Bahriyyeh)”
“Ad-Douar” (w/ Fadi Tabbal)
“Marjaa: The Battle of the Hotels”
