Magdi Aboul-Kheir

A soft and royal encapsulation of the halo effects of the emotions we observe in our lives, this is an artistic masterpiece.

We start off this dreamscape with the mellow flute undertones of 'On the Meadows'. What almost feels like the backdrop of a Disney movie, this is pure, ethereal and sets the tone for what's yet to come. The next two tracks, 'If I Could Freeze Time' and 'Love in an Alternate Universe' feel like an expression of one-sided love, and how we feel when things don't go as per our wishes. These tracks have a hint of melancholia, lost hope and a lot of drama to them that feels like an added touch of spice to the album. On the contrary, the tracks 'Gentle Ties' and 'The World in His Arms' feel like the moment of achieving what you wanted. The subtle emotional curveball of optimism and enlightenment gets thrown at us with these, and it sounds like the happy ending all of us long for and deserve.

As we step into the next chapter of the album, 'Tears and Smiles' describes the inevitable waves of highs and lows life has planned for us, no matter our path. While 'The Garden of Make Believe' and 'The Summer Wind in the Wheat' are tracks that are an ever-exaggerated version of the hope we witnessed in the tracks before, 'My Yearning and Longing' feels like the backdrop of a climax scene from a romantic-comedy movie, where it's hard to speculate which way the movie could go. Last but not least, we have 'Sleepletter'.There couldn't have been a better end to this album. This is soothing, calming and feels like the sound of a goodbye. All in all, I found this album extremely dreamy, and I believe so will you!
