NOURI Yalla Yalla

NEW YORK, December 4th 2020 – Pop songstress, NOURI releases the new track “Yalla Yalla” with companion visual music video – available now on all digital retailers.

The track is accompanied by an equally infectious music video, directed by Blue Hamel. The singer puts on her most energetic performance yet, with two back-up dancers, moving with choreographed precision in a jungle-themed video. “This one is all about performance. It’s about dancing and having fun. I wanted to show off a side of me that no one has seen before,” says NOURI.

Since arriving in style in November 2018, NOURI quickly established herself as an international pop sensation with all her charted singles. NOURI has been named the one to watch and the up-and-coming breakout star by PopDust, Harper’s Bazaar Arabia, Emirates Woman and Cosmopolitan Middle East.
