Did It Kick? - Feras Arrabi

AL'ARRABI Release Party

Al’ARRABI is an instrumental album and an anthology of songs with themes centered around either an emotion, an observation, or an idea, but all tell a story. These themes are expressed through melodies, harmonies, and rhythms, which, like characters in a play, develop and transform to the narrative arc.

Track 7: Did It Kick?

About

Referring to the album or “pill”, Did It Kick induces initially a sense of tension and unease. After taking the pill, the listener enters a state of dichotomy, muddiness, and absurdity that then transitions into one of clarity, euphoria, and certainty.

Geek Out

Exploring more of a soul approach with guitar on this one using only clean tone, with a hip-hop beat and a trumpet section played brilliantly by fellow bandmate in El Morabba3 Basel Nauori, not to talk about the groove in the low end. Being so different, this track is the black sheep of the album.
