Areej - Guided [Video]

Areej has shared her debut single, ‘Guided’. It’s a lo-fi jazz sound with a delicate piano melody and sees Areej push through those darker moments in life to find the light. Explaining the meaning behind the track’s lyrics, Areej shares:

"Despite being in a place of doom and gloom, which is depicted through the opening verse - the message and meaning behind my lyrics convey my gratitude for the simple and meaningful things in life."

Accompanied by a music video co-directed by Areej and Charlie Rees of Fuego Films (who has previously worked with George The Poet, Dan D’Lion and Fekky), the track combines fresh beats and crooning sax riffs to create a hazy, warm track.

‘Guided’ is the lead single from the emerging artist’s upcoming EP, which is set to be released in early 2022. Entitled ‘Guided By Our Fears’, the EP will follow many of the same themes on ‘Guided’, and is said to feature Areej’s exploration of love, loss and longing.
