Ari Abdul’s journey to the music scene began in Brooklyn, where she was exposed to a diverse range of musical styles from a young age. Her Ecuadorian mother loved Latin music, her Costa Rican/Palestinian father introduced her to classic rock, and her brothers were all about hip-hop and metal. By the age of 14, Abdul had already graduated to playing the electric guitar and was inspired by grunge bands like Nirvana. However, it wasn’t until her mother encouraged her to start creating her own music that she finally found the courage to share her voice with the world. Today, Ari Abdul has amassed a massive following on TikTok, with over 445.6K followers and 10.6M likes. Her newest single “BABYDOLL (Speed)” has been streamed globally over 75 million times, and she has now released her debut EP, “Fallen Angel”. “Fallen Angel” is a pop-noir masterpiece that showcases Abdul’s warm and luminous vocals over alluring melodies. The EP is inspired by the story of Lucifer and the “fallen angel” narrative and tells a story of the loss of innocence and connection with one’s self. One of the standout tracks on the EP is “HELLGIRL”, which sees Abdul transition into the fallen angel, with powerful and seductive vocals over sultry instrumentals. Another highlight is “HUSH”, which opens with a pulsing beat and slinky bass line that perfectly complements Abdul’s haunting vocals. Overall, “Fallen Angel” offers a glimpse into who Ari Abdul is as an artist, mixing tenebrous fantasy with her personal story. The EP starts off with pretty and innocent-sounding songs and slowly transitions into distorted and heavier sounds, with lyrics that get darker and more emotional as the EP progresses. Ari Abdul is a rising star in the music scene, and her debut EP “Fallen Angel” is a must-listen for fans of dark-sided pop.
