Dubai based artist Sobhhï unveils an album today that is emblematic of a signature mystique.

Self envisioned...the album inspires a swirl of aquatic prose tempered by an enrapturing cloud of smoke, and with splintering echos and a multi-dimensional wavelength, Sobhhï's rhythm scratches deep below the surface.

Luxury Casual II, the sequel to the 2019 EP featuring NHNY and Nivo fills the void like a vaccum.

'Hellcats and Audits' the previously released music video describes a sunset in its patience...while 'Nights in LA' a release from earlier this month appears as a tableau of dry ice and cobalt.

Sobhhï's rhythmic vocabulary transpires as a dribble, and with an electric pulse...the offering of notes is displayed in a labyrinth of layers.

A velveteen meandering of ambivalence.

A swoop...entangled in an earthquake where cymbals chime.

Nuit Sans Fin...the encompassing record label and fashion house is the mindmap for Sobhhï's visage, featuring a playground of whimsy with the lights turned low.

Luxury Casual II presents itself as Sobhhï's midsummer offering.
