Wahdon

Marking a pivotal moment in Fairuz's career, 'Wahdon' features compositions and arrangements by her son, Ziad Rahbani, who moved her sound away from the exclusive folk and orchestral work of the Rahbani Brothers. The album fuses traditional Arabic sensibilities with Western influences like jazz, funk, and soulful balladry, creating a uniquely modern yet melancholic atmosphere. Thematically, the album explores loneliness and introspection, with Fairuz's vocals embodying a profound sense of solitude, which resonated deeply as it was her first album released after a long creative partnership with her husband Assi Rahbani.
