Najwa - Donde Rugen Los Volcanes

I don't remember which was the first film I saw Najwa (Nimri) play in, but I most certainly remember the first song I heard of her: It was "Capable" back in 2007 and it still brings back all sorts of memories from that summer when I was still trying to figure out the core of what I wanted to do/be. (Hint: it wasn't advertising)

Now, Najwa, after having explored a more rock sound, (re)turns to the electro ground which suits her the best, in my humble opinion, with her latest album "Donde Rugen Los Volcanes" (Where Volcanos Roar). The title song is a gorgeous track with an intense lurking darkness and with an even darker video which feels very much like a densely emotional photo-essay.
