Since the release of his last long-form project,
Love Letters, in February 2025, Saint Levant has kept fans fed with a steady trickle of singles, while revealing very little about what comes next. A few months later, the part-Palestinian singer-songwriter revisited
the project with an extended edition, adding three new tracks featuring Egyptian mahraganat up-and-comer Fares Sokkar, Tunisian rapper Nordo, and Algerian rai singer Babylone.
Since then, however, things have been relatively quiet. Beyond the occasional social media update, festival appearance, or glimpse into his day-to-day life, the artist born Marwan Abdulhamid has largely retreated from the constant visibility that usually accompanies musicians of his stature, maintaining a noticeably more lowkey profile both online and offline. Deliberately, we suspect. After all, periods of relative silence from artists rarely mean inactivity. Instead, they signal the opposite, with long studio sessions replacing tour dates, interviews, and the endless cycle of online promotion. And if our gut feeling is any indication, that time away appears to have been put to good use with a growing number of clues suggesting that 25-year-old hitmaker may finally be gearing up to unveil his next full-length body of work.
With two singles hitting streaming services over the past month, the first being SABAH AL WARD—a warm, nostalgic offering that felt almost like a modern-day ode to the golden era of Arabic music—and the second, NANO, a collaboration with the one and only TUL8TE released just yesterday, it is beginning to look like these latest drops may be part of a much larger rollout.
What makes the theory even harder to ignore is that both tracks arrived with fully-fledged music videos, something artists rarely invest in so heavily for standalone releases unless they are helping establish the visual and sonic world of a broader project. Taken individually, they could simply be new additions to Saint Levant’s growing catalogue. Taken together, however, they feel more like the opening chapters of a story that has yet to fully reveal itself, hinting that a new album; or at the very least a substantial body of work—could be on the horizon before the year is out.
Though nothing has been officially confirmed just yet, we’d be lying if we said we weren’t hoping a new album was on the horizon. Whether these recent releases are simple standalone singles or the first pieces of a much larger puzzle remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Saint Levant appears to be entering a new creative chapter, and we’re more than here for it.
