Nabiha Essentials

When Nabiha Bensouda released her debut album Cracks, co-written with London-based producer Carl Ryden, listeners in her native Denmark were hooked. The album's lead single, “Deep Sleep”, was certified gold—it epitomises her groove-based mix of R&B, with overtones of soul and sunny pop hooks. More recent releases, like 2013's Mind the Gap, have a futuristic, heavily synthesised sound—perfect for the dance floor—paired with coquettish, alluring lyrics. With airplay across Europe and a celebrated status in Scandinavia's clubland, Nabiha's future is assured.
