Kyle Meredith With...

Moroccan-Canadian singer-songwriter Faouzia joins Kyle Meredith to talk about her latest single, "La La La," and proclaims this is "a doll summer." She hashes out why she's going for a more uptempo sound with her latest set, keeping her influences hidden for a more original sound, and not having an Arabic-Western pop artist to look to when she was young. Faouzia also discusses why she decided to cover Eiffel 65's "I'm Blue" and that contrary to some interpretations, last year's Citizen was only an EP, meaning that she's yet to release her debut album.Listen to Faouzia chat about all this and more in the new episode and you can also watch the interview on Youtube.
