Dana Al Fardan, Qatar’s first female composer and singer-songwriter, announces the release of ‘Solstice’, a drama-packed song that becomes ever-more epic as it swells to its beats-cloaked climax.

Released on March 24th,2022, the single is arranged by the Syrian violinist and composer MAias Al Yamani, principal violist Giovanni Passini and Sally Herbert (Florence & The Machine, Ellie Goulding), produced by SINK (Nico Dalla Vecchia) and featuring the Qatari Philharmonic Orchestra. ‘Solstice’ is the second single from the internationally acclaimed symphonic artist’s forthcoming album Indigo, due for release in May 2022.

Speaking about the single Dana said :

“‘Solstice’ represents the space we find within that allows our light to shine through. It’s the light that liberates the infinite glow we all hold, “the light that freed the sun”.

Inspired by JW Goethe’s The Theory Of Colour (1810) - a study on the physiological effects of colour – INDIGO is an exploration of sound and colours with each piece composed in a colour scheme to capture a mood and a state of being, something that is carried into the multi-sensory experience of the live shows. All the songs, including the already released single ‘Indigo’, will be accompanied by corresponding conceptual, abstract videos, allowing the listener the space for their own interpretation.
