“The story behind the video is that it is a traditional Saudi song, which was originally written by Soliman bin Shuraim – a very well known poet, the studio 8iess tell us about their spectacular recent work, “Samry King”.

While the singer’s name is Misfer, the video was conceived and edited by Majed Alesa (ماجد العيسى), a Saudi director and editor deeply inspired by music.

“Majed wanted to bring the old music theme to actually create something more modern. He made it catchy by speeding the rhythm and westernizing the melody,” add 8iess.

“The edit made the poet and the song listenable for different types of people, and this is actually what our studio is all about to spread our ideas and reach as diversed people as possible.”
