Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – July 3rd, 2025 — Saudi singer-songwriter Yazeed Fahad continues his rise in the music scene with the release of his latest single “Mali (مالي وإن أغمضت عيني)”, out today on MDLBEAST Records. Known for his distinctive blend of soft guitar work, soulful vocals, and a style that fuses Western and Arabic influences, Yazeed Fahad brings a new depth of expression in this dreamy indie ballad.

“Mali” is shaped by gentle guitars, warm strings, and Yazeed’s signature melancholic vocals. The track explores the quiet ache of sleepless nights and the unspoken emotional weight we often carry in silence. A subtle ticking-clock rhythm underscores the sense of stillness and restlessness that defines the song’s atmosphere.

It offers a soundscape that resonates with those moments of solitude and introspection.
