The launchpad for any artist on the brink of stardom, over the past decade, A Colors Show has earned itself a well-deserved reputation for being expert scouts, consistently able to spot the music industry’s next big act before the mainstream starts taking notice. Born in the mid-2010s, the Berlin-based incubator has grown into a reference in its field, recognized by its minimalist aesthetic as well as the roster of up-and-comers it has pushed into the scene’s limelight. A rite of passage for any artist just about to make it big, across different genres and languages, the platform has repeatedly demonstrated skill, expertise, and niche knowledge of what’s hot and who’s worth keeping an eye on around the world; including in our dear region.
With a fair few artists from our neck of the woods getting the chance to shine against those iconic monochrome backdrops, we’ve rounded up a non-exhaustive list of the Arab talents who made a lasting impression on the show.
