December 2023 – Music Video
Directed & Animated by Alaa Fleifel
Music by Antonio Hajj & Tamara Qaddoumi
With ‘Cold In The Mourning’, the second single from her upcoming EP, ‘Sorry Signal’, Tamara Qaddoumi takes the listener on an exploration of the many faces of loss, lost innocence and the artist’s encounters with the ever-elusive, shape-shifting nature of bereavement. Driven by Qaddoumi’s spectral vocal delivery and sprawling, synth-drenched melodies, the track weaves the threads of its poignant narrative into a powerful, vivid reminder of our daily struggles with grief and the experience of living with and, ultimately, being transformed by it.
