3YOONI’s long-awaited debut album Baghdad is set to make waves – a finely crafted work that embodies courage on musical, political, and biographical levels, while critically examining concepts such as identity, language, racism, and orientalism. 3YOONI blends synth-driven electronica with traditional Arabic rhythms and dreamy, poetic Iraqi vocals to create a radically unique musical expression and genre fusion – hypnotic, relentless, and resonant.
Musically, the album weaves together electronic beats and synthesizers with traditional Arabic elements and rhythms, featuring the oud and his unmistakably dreamy, poetic vocals in Iraqi Arabic. It is an ambitious and distinctive endeavor, with Yassin handling vocals, production, and instrumentation entirely on his own – a clear indication of the deep personal investment and passion that fuel this project.
