Hamza Hawsawi has shared a new song and video, titled “Wonder”. Hawsawi- who hails from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia- is known regionally, if not globally, as Saudi Arabia’s voice of soul, an ambassador to R&B, and one of the region’s leading voices in English music. From the studios, to the stages, his journey began over 10 years ago, but the pivotal moment was winning X-Factor Arabia in 2015, after which Hawsawi has built a discography of soulful, vibrant R&B offerings. His latest track, “Wonder”, produced by Bailouni, and featuring guitar work by Hashem, presents a captivating blend of bittersweet emotions expressed through ethereal folk-influenced melodies.

“Wonder” contains freeing, cathartic instrumentation centered around waves of airy guitars and graceful synths, which set a dream-like foundation for Hawsawi’s powerful vocal performance. He delivers dynamic, weaving melodies that build into a memorable, emotive hook. The accompanying music video, shot in the scenic city of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, presents a visual odyssey directed by KB Bishara. The video vibrantly complements the ethereal essence of “Wonder” and adds another dimension to the song’s narrative.
The latest from Hamza Hawsawi, “Wonder”‘s hopeful feel and expressive sound give it character of its own, making for an engaging new offering from the Jeddah artist.
