The newest release "Cruel" offers a blend of Indie Pop, Trip-Hop and Downtempo and delivers a dark and eclectic ambience. The song discovers a great synergy between the stylish vocals of Charls Ava and Likvid's industrial and dark instrumental side.
Born and raised in the USA to Egyptian immigrant parents, she had a long run in New York City working as a session singer, mainly singing big commercials. She had some moments: singing backup for M.I.A. and once performing for French first lady Carla Bruni. Ultimately, she began to feel a scream within, to move on and create her own record. She left and moved to Cairo to live and make music. Cairo, a crowded city, is ancient and modern, with a million people going their own way on any given street. A place fusing noise, improvisation and an underground creativity. It was the right place for the journey ahead.
