The thing about "HUSH" by Ari Abdul with it's inviting slinky sonics, chill battle groove, deep alt pop noir atmosphere and Ari's captivating vocal aesthetic is that it contains hundreds of stories yet to be written. It is, for all of it's smooth, mysterious intent a theme song for an addictive future Netflix or Hulu binger called, of course, 'Hush'. Get on it screenwriters! (I am not joking)
Deciphering the dark pop sound and you realize that while it is highly produced it doesn't sound like it. Or to say it another way, the layers of sound don't step on each others toes. For me the bass and beat are everything as is Ari's lyrics and vocal countenance that not only feels alluring but winks at you. There is a self awareness as her voice cajoles, beckons you to your own peril like a siren from Greek mythology.
20 year old Ari has amassed a huge (HUGE) following and her growing fan base will eat up her debut EP, "Fallen Angel".
Press notey stuff reveal:
[As its title suggests, Fallen Angel is a pop-noir work, levitated by alluring melodies and Abdul's warm, luminescent vocals. Growing up in Catholic School, she became enamored with the story of Lucifer and the "fallen angel" narrative. Ari and her best friend/ producer Thomas LaRosa worked to create a world behind the EP inspired by "loss of innocence and connection with one's self into a distorted, wicked version."]

Music quickly became a second language for Ari Abdul growing up in Brooklyn. Her Ecuadorian mom loved Latin music while her Costa Rican/ Palestinian father introduced her to classic rock. Rounding everything out were her brothers who were all about hip-hop and metal.
She graduated to electric guitar at 14 and started playing grunge songs inspired by Nirvana. But she was too nervous to share her work - let alone her voice- with anyone. She had friends in choir, but that wasn't the musical direction she saw herself going. It wasn't until LaRosa's mom encouraged Abdul to create her own music in July 2021 that she fund the spark to share her voice with the world.
Like every inspired artist, Ari Abdul eats and breathes music. It wasn't all too long ago Abdul was lining up early outside venues for her favorite artists, and she still considers herself a fangirl today. Her TikTok followers and fans alike have shown a passion for all things Ari Abdul and music. She's already amassed 445.6K Followers and 10.6M Likes on TikTok.
A debut EP and rapidly growing fan base are how Ari Abdul is capping off 2022. This is only the beginning for this young artist.
