Love by Kid Fourteen

This album started out roughly based on the 12 phases of love thoroughly represented in Arabic literature. During the creation process, it slowly shifted into exploring the complexity of human intimacy and how visceral feelings and vulnerability would sound like if all other senses of expression were lost.
At a later stage all of the texts and lyrics (with the exception of Arab Prince, One day I'm gone, and Plastic lasts) were based on the writings of my fellow friend and writer Dani Ghassan Arbid, currently residing in Berlin. It took form as a fruitful collaboration and a necessary expansion on the topic.
