Singer-songwriter duo FAARROW, formed by sisters Siham and Iman Hashi, continue to transport us into an intricate sonic world through their carefully honed genre-blended sound on newest single “Dreams.”
Dreams have a way of speaking to us and reflecting the joys and worries of our time awake and that’s exactly the message carried by the ethereal Afro-chill number. Rooted in the fantastical concept of a dream world so real that you can’t tell if you’re dreaming or not, sultry vocals float over hazy, layered beats on the delicate number.
Written by both sisters hold dual meanings, drawn from the perspective of each sibling. The sisters explain, “For Siham, it’s about a soulmate connection that shows up in your dreams every night that is so vivid, real and hard to shake. For Iman, it was about continuing our journey as Faarrow and “Dream” of singing and performing.”
Born in Mogadishu, Somalia, the sisters who fled their homes with family to escape civil war and relocated to Toronto, have nurtured a hidden talent and passion for music since their early teens. Breaking out of the culture barriers which saw the craft as taboo, the dedicated duo have gone from strength to strength since beginning their music journey in earnest and they haven’t looked back since as they establish themselves as an act made for stardom.
