“Another Life” is the second album by singer-songwriter Nadine Khouri, set for release on Talitres on the 18^th November 2022. Recorded in London and Bristol with producer John Parish, the album extends a collaborative partnership that began with Khouri’s acclaimed 2017 debut The Salted Air. First single “Vertigo” out today.

The album frequently touches on that which has been lost - from life in a pre-social media world, to a city that no longer looks the same, or the ghosts of those left behind.

“Another Life” closes in Marseille, which acts as something of a metaphor for hope. A key port for immigrants who have crossed the Mediterranean seeking a better future, Khouri has found herself spending more time in the city, seeking a more anchored life in a post-Brexit world. In the album’s final song, ‘Box of Echoes’, the narrator walks the streets of the city and reflects on the memories that he carries with him. “I traded everything to be here“, Khouri sings, “I left everyone I held so dear”. Finally, she begins to turn the page to a new chapter, reminding us that she will never fully leave behind the lives that have led her to this point.

“Another Life” available for pre-order from the Talitres webstore, via Bandcamp or all digital platforms.

First single “Vertigo” out today, along with a video directed by the filmmaker Tariq Keblaoui, a night walk through the empty streets of Beirut:

Talitres is delighted to welcome the British-Lebanese musician Nadine Khouri.

Since “The Salted Air” (2017, first album produced by John Parish), Nadine Khouri has offered a work of sensitive and overwhelming beauty. Her magnificent and timeless singing voice dwells prodigiously within us and paints landscapes of elegant melancholy.
