[Exclusive] R&B's breakthrough voice Zjál breaks down her new debut single 'Home' and details her crusade against 'programmed consciousness'

Zjal speaks exclusively with Meaww about her crusade against 'programmed consciousness,' and the love for poetry.
UPDATED SEP 11, 2018

There is a myriad of fiery and beautifully complex energies roiling within the soul of urban pop singer Zjál. There’s the desire to be sensual and purposeful. And then there are the competing pulls of Zjál’s traditional Lebanese culture and her cavalier femininity. The London-based artist is a spiritual warrior who achieves a poetic Zen within her hip-hop-tinged R&B. With her debut EP 'Home' set to release later this year and the lead titular single dropping recently, Zjál is all set to inspire and seduce with her tunes as she doubles-down on her quest to escape from "programmed consciousness." 

A singer who grew up on a secluded farm in Adelaide, Australia with a traditional Lebanese family that held a progressive outlook, as a child, Zjál veered between being introspective and reflective, and bubbly and extroverted. These strong shifts in dynamics would come to define her as she embraced the duality within.
