Beirut.com delved into an exclusive interview with Yasmine to talk about her musical projects and discuss her spectacular approach to Arabic music.<br \/>  <br \/>  <b>Beirut.com:<\/b> What\u2019s the concept of \u201cYa Nass\u201d and why did you choose to name your album after this song specifically?<br \/>  <br \/>  <b>Hamdan:<\/b> \u201cYa Nass is a like an invitation for a discussion, a call to a single person or a crowd. A proposition. It could be an echo of the movements that are taking place in the Arab world.  <br \/>  <br \/>  I worked on the album with Marc Collin of Nouvelle Vague for two and a half months in his studio in Paris. We reworked the songs for this worldwide release and reshaped the album tracking. We also changed the album cover. Marc is very inspiring and intuitive. He trusted me and we worked in a very harmonious and free ambiance.\u201d<br \/>  <br \/>  <b>Beirut.com:<\/b> What makes \u201cYa Nass\u201d different than your previous projects?<br \/>  <br \/>  <b>Hamdan:<\/b> \u201cI feel it\u2019s my baby. I worked on the fine details of this album myself, and it was very pleasurable. I loved spending time in the studio trying things and searching for a sound. It is thrilling to be working on the relation ship between tradition and modernity.\u201d<br \/>  <br \/>  <b>Beirut.com:<\/b> What does it take to produce this kind of music that you experiment with?<br \/>  <br \/>  <b>Hamdan:<\/b> \u201cI consider myself very lucky to be doing the things I love. I am aware that it is a privilege. It\u2019s also a day to day commitment, involving fear, pleasure, risks, and sacrifices etc\u2026 You learn a lot about yourself and your relationship to the world. You have to work a lot on yourself, and learn how to deal with your victories and also your deceptions. It\u2019s an interesting playground. Composing music and performing. Collaborating is a very pleasurable and inspiring activity. It makes you live in a parallel world in which you have the possibility to create, and be challenged.<br \/>  <br \/>  I search everywhere for inspiration. What\u2019s important for me is to be free in a free zone.<br \/>  <br \/>  \u201cI love working on melodies. I love squeezing a song (when it\u2019s a cover song for example) a structure, and a melody. I enjoy trying a song in different directions before finding my way out. When I compose, I start many times from the melody, and then search for the words that will suit my ears and fit my melody. Sometimes it takes me a week to find a word that I like. I always have my notebook, I write down the words that sound interesting to my ears. I can build a full song around a certain word, and then build the meanings on the song. It\u2019s like a montage.\u201d<br \/>  <br \/>  <b>Beirut.com:<\/b> What are your standards for covering certain classic Arabic songs like \u201cYa Wardety Ya Nedyia\u201d and \u201cLa Mouch Ana Elly Abky\u201d?<br \/>  <br \/>  <b>Hamdan:<\/b> \u201cIn fact it\u2019s very interesting to work with the Arabic language, given its rich cultural background. For instance, when I sing in Egyptian, it\u2019s very fluid and romantic and I become a different person; however the Lebanese dialect is heavier, round and has a different sensation than the Bedouin or Kuwaiti, which are very rhythmical. They sound different yet they all come from the same root. It\u2019s a great luck to be able to pick what fits the compositions, the melodies, and the idea of the song. I enjoy playing with dialects because each dialect brings it s own back ground and connotations.<br \/>  <br \/>  \u201cI love old Arabic music. I listen to lots of old materials. So it\u2019s natural for me to reinterpret a song that I feel I can appropriate and adapt it to my world. It\u2019s very challenging and exciting. It brings colors to the album. I\u2019ve always done that, since SoapKills.\u201d<br \/>  <br \/>  <b>Beirut.com:<\/b> Who influenced you from the Arabic singers?<br \/>  <br \/>  <b>Hamdan:<\/b> \u201cWhen I started discovering classic Arabic music, I listened to Mohamed Abdel Wahab, I obsessed on him. I used to listen to \u201cAlgondool\u201d for like 40 times a day for nearly 6 months. Asmahan was another source of inspiration. Although her music is pretty old, it felt very edgy. And other artists of course like Zakiya Hamdan, Sheikh Imam, Sayyid Darwish, Fayrouz, and Omo Koulthoum.\u201d<br \/>  <br \/>  <b>Beirut.com:<\/b> And internationally?<br \/>  <br \/>  <b>Hamdan:<\/b> \u201cWhen I started, I discovered bands and artists with which i fell in love and from whom i was very inspired, like Portishead, Radiohead, Chet Baker, PJ Harvey, Neil Young, David Bowie, and Kate Bush, Pixies, Siouxies and the Banshees, and the Cure. I can also relate to the Indian or Asian music that I enjoy very much.\u201d<br \/>  <br \/>  <b>Beirut.com:<\/b> And how do you see your earlier collaborations with Zaid?<br \/>  <br \/>  <b>Hamdan:<\/b> \u201cSoapKills was my d\u00e9but. It was the beginning of my musical adventure. I actually didn\u2019t know where it would lead me but I knew that my life changed for ever. It was a revealing experience. I received lots of criticism and got attacked by lots of conservatives because of it. But generally speaking, it was a thrilling experience after the end of the civil war. We suffered from lack of structure, means and recognition.<br \/>  <br \/>  \u201cZeid introduced me to the Western music, of which I had little knowledge. And in a way I introduced him to Arabic music. It was a very rich collaboration, but also very tough because we were at the beginning of things. We come up with the band without planning it, I would say accidentally, and it was one the first underground bands singing in Arabic and proposing a deconstructed and contemporary sound.<br \/>  <br \/>  \u201cIn reality, it wasn\u2019t serious for me to sing in English, it was neither my language nor my roots. I became very involved and dedicated only when I started singing in Arabic, because I felt I had a project that wasn\u2019t about me, but about a wider vision. It was thrilling creatively, intellectually and emotionally. Opening doors, proposing, searching and finding new ways of expressing Arabic in music. At that time, I knew what I didn\u2019t want, but I didn\u2019t know what I wanted. But after these years and collaborations with different artists, I know better where I want to go, even though I\u2019m always searching and always getting lost!\u201d<br \/>  <br \/>  <b>Beirut.com:<\/b> When are you returning to perform in the Middle East?<br \/>  <br \/>  <b>Hamdan:<\/b> \u201cThis fall hopefully.\u201d<br \/>  <br \/>  <b>Beirut.com:<\/b> What are your latest cinematic endeavors?<br \/>  <br \/>  <b>Hamdan:<\/b> \u201cI do many parallel projects with different artists in various fields. For example the song \u201cHal\u201d, from my new album, was actually written for Jim Jarmusch latest film \u201cOnly Lovers Left Alive\u201d, in which I have an appearance to perform my song. The movie is beautiful, I\u2019m very thrilled by it. I am very proud and honored to be involved in this, as I\u2019m a big fan of Jarmush\u2019s movies. It\u2019ll be released in December this year.<br \/>  <br \/>  \u201cI also did the music and the sound of the play \u201cRituel pour une metamorphose\u201d directed by Sulayman Al-Bassam and performed at the Com\u00e9die-Fran\u00e7aise this spring\/summer.\u201d<br \/>  <br \/>  <b>Beirut.com:<\/b> What are your plans for the near future?<br \/>  <br \/>  <b>Hamdan:<\/b> \u201cI\u2019m going to be touring for my new album. In 6 or 7 months, I\u2019ll start working on something new. Albums for me come naturally and spontaneously, rather than being a narrative.\u201d<br \/>  <br \/>  <b>Beirut.com:<\/b> What are your favorite spots in Beirut?<br \/>  <br \/>  <b>Hamdan:<\/b> &#8220;Hamra and the Corniche.
