in 2015 Nadine Khouri played at a fes­ti­val local to me called The End. I wrote: “Khouri’s com­po­si­tions are beau­ti­ful­ly craft­ed, sophis­ti­cat­ed and pre­cise, over­laid with her soft, smokey vocals.” 

Those vocals and her abil­i­ty to cre­ate haunt­ing com­po­si­tions can be heard on new sin­gle “Song of A Caged Bird”, out now. Nadine’s steady and warm­ing alto giv­ing this sen­si­tive track a mes­meris­ing glow. As always with Nadine’s tracks, there’s some­thing mag­net­ic about her still­ness that takes you into a calm space. There is also a mini UK tour start­ing now, details below.

Cur­rent­ly based between Lon­don and Mar­seille, Nadine is influ­enced by dream-pop, film sound­tracks and poet­ry with a sound that has been described as “music born of peren­ni­al outsider-status.”

There is an exclu­sive live ver­sion of the track record­ed for Rough Trade Trans­mis­sions at Kar­ma Stu­dios, London 

Orig­i­nal­ly penned as a lament on sur­veil­lance cap­i­tal­ism, “Song of a Caged Bird” took on new mean­ing dur­ing the pan­dem­ic when the world out­side fell away. Over walk­ing-pace per­cus­sion and spa­cious­ly lay­ered Mel­lotron and gui­tar, Khouri dreams beyond the dig­i­tal walls into an explo­ration of true freedom.
