Crazy this doesn't have a review. Tamino's a Belgian/Egyptian singer-songwriter with immense talent. Comparisons to Jeff Buckley's vocals are super common, though he has his own thing going on for sure. He uses Middle Eastern vocal techniques over generally brooding/melancholic western pop music to great effect across the record. This album is stunning start to finish, and features lush piano and orchestral flourishes, beautiful detuned guitar parts, Arabic instrumentation including the Oud and of course Tamino's outstanding vocals. Watch a live video and you'll understand. Standouts: Habibi, Indigo Night, Cigar, Sun May Shine
