Details: HOME IS CHANGING is the debut studio album from buzzing Saudi singer-songwriter, Mishaal Tamer. The album, complete with 33 tracks, consists of five chapters each representing the different stages of his journey: THE DEEP, THE HEART, THE HEARTBREAK, THE DREAM, and THE RETURN. The album shares stories of his battles with depression and his climb out of it, the love and growth that follows, and the dreams that come once he's able to open himself up to the world again, culminating in the return to our inner child - something that often gets lost in the rigors of life as we age and live through experience. Mishaal aims to remind listeners of the beautiful soul contained within that is full of wonder, creativity, and open to the endless possibilities of the future. Standout tracks from HOME IS CHANGING include the infectiously bouncy "BABA FEIN," "ITTY BITTY," & "ALL NIGHT LONG." Speaking about the album, Mishaal says: "As the album is called HOME IS CHANGING, I thought the artwork needs to be shot in Saudi Arabia. People think Saudi Arabia is just oil and desert - but it's not, and I wanted to show that with this album. That's why the artwork has the river and the meadows, the greenery in general. There's also my dog there as well, Gandalf also known as Boo Boo. He's helped me through a lot and he was there through the creation of this album. The most important part of the artwork is the greenery, which is to give people a fresh look on what Saudi Arabia is. We're a lot more than the misconceptions. A big part of this project is highlighting the change and an important part in doing that is changing people's perception on what Saudi Arabia is. It's not an unsafe country. We can host the Winter Olympics, and we can have incredible music festivals and incredible resorts. I'm proud, I'm super proud. I'm proud to show my country for what it is and not what people think it is. My job as a Saudi is to showcase us since our doors have opened to the world. I'm saying "Hey, this is us... but this is also us". We have these rivers and these fields; it's a statement to say we are more than what you think." Boasting over 2 million monthly Spotify listeners and 1M followers on TikTok, Mishaal's music is a unifying force among the youth of Saudi Arabia. Mishaal is the first modern musician from his country to make an impact within the global music industry, which was marked in 2020 when Mishaal became the first Saudi artist to sign to a major record label. Tamer, who sings in Spanish, English, and Arabic, is now releasing music globally through his own independent record label Arabian Knights Records in partnership with EMPIRE.
