TUL8TE’s “Narein” is a Soft, Sunlit Dream
With Narein, TUL8TE gives us his most cohesive album to date. A soft, sunlit daydream that feels like a baecation soundtrack you’d play on repeat. Think sea breeze, sandy skin, love confessions, and 2000s pop nostalgia. The sound is unmistakably TUL8TE, but it’s also braver, more vulnerable, and sonically wider. There’s Amr Diab DNA in there (as always), but also flashes of early Tamer Hosny — Omar w Salma 1 type energy.
While the album holds tight to a core mood, each track brings something fresh, a new facet of Tul8te’s emotional world. Here’s what we’ve listed as our top tracks:
Daroory
He goes full Levantine here. The kind of beat you can’t stay still to. It’s loud, bold, and begging for a Dabke line. If there was ever a Saint Levant feature in the works, this would be the one.
Narein
The title track sets the tone for the entire album — soft, romantic, a little hesitant. It’s the classic TUL8TE formula with a new sense of courage, as if he’s finally ready to say what he’s been keeping in. It’s the kind of opener that hints at confession, not closure.
Ghareeb Haly
If you told us this was pulled straight from a La La Land alternate soundtrack, we’d believe you. It’s cinematic and delicate. Almost like it was written during golden hour.
Heseeny
A slow, summery glow-up. This one feels like falling in love in real time. The falsetto is so clean, and the chemistry between the melody and lyrics makes it feel effortless.
Wahashteeny
A quiet, poetic finish. It’s Tul8te at his most raw with no filters, no reverb-heavy dramatics. Just him, talking to us like we’re on the phone. It wraps the album in intimacy and leaves you with the feeling that he’s said everything he needed to.
