Talented music artist TUL8TE brings his mask and his Arabic pop to COLORS with a bright 2:37 performance of “Garee2a Awy.”
The COLORS stage is known for stripped-down sets, clean backdrops, and a focus on the voice. That setting suits a masked singer who wants listeners to hear the sound, not the face. In an earlier interview, he said as much, asking people to see the sound and not the person. Moataz Mady produced the track, and COLORSxSTUDIOS released it. The tempo sits at 107 beats per minute, and the key is E-flat major, which gives it a warm, easy glow.
The lyrics open with a sense of surprise. The singer meets a beauty that feels completely new, and he wishes he had been ready for it. That small, honest reaction sets the mood for a playful love song. It is short, so it never overstays its welcome.
The performance also arrives at a busy time for him. TUL8TE joined Saint Levant on “Nano” earlier this year, and his album “Sadeek El Bernameg” followed with “Men Gheir Kalam” and “Wala Ash Wala Kan.” So the COLORS set sits among a run of releases that show how fast his name is spreading across Arabic pop. A COLORS slot also introduces him to listeners who may never have searched for Egyptian music before.
For fans of Arabic pop with a modern, relaxed feel, this short set is a good way to meet him.
