Afro-Arab Artist Mawadduh Blends Neo-Soul & Longing in ‘HomeSick’ EP

UK-based Afro-Arab singer-songwriter Mawadduh unveils HomeSick, her debut EP, a raw and intimate exploration of grief, displacement, and the deep yearning for home. Released earlier this year, the project blends soulful melodies, evocative lyricism, and rich influences from her Afro-Arab heritage, creating a sound that is both deeply personal and universally resonant.

Through HomeSick, Mawadduh channels the complexities of living in the diaspora—the tension between nostalgia and belonging, the pain of loss, and the journey toward healing. Each track unfolds like a diary entry, weaving together elements of R&B, neo-soul, and Arabic scales to craft an immersive listening experience.

Through this EP, Mawadduh hopes to connect more deeply with listeners back home in the Arab world, bringing her reflections on identity and longing full circle.

HomeSick is now available on all streaming platforms.
