I had a stage where I was listening to A LOT of Arabic music thanks particularly thanks to Imarhan. And I love the fact that Barry Can't Swim has combined my love for chilled out house music with an Arabic aesthetic.

There is a sort of comforting allure "El Layali" has and I think a good reason just might be the vintage appeal that creeps up on the listener. The ABSOLUTELY BREATH-TAKING arrangement of the keys dare not escape mention. With this Barry Can't Swim exudes a level of elegance and musical opulence next to the good vibes he bestows upon us.
