Zeinab is a Dublin born Soul / RnB singer-songwriter, who is of part Sudanese heritage.
She is inspired by the powerful, soulful tones of Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday, with contemporary influences from artists such as Frank Ocean, Beyoncé and Adele’s conversational lyricism.
Zeinab’s performances are captivating & charismatic, while off stage is a charming, friendly and bubbly character and presenter, exemplified by her music segment on Virgin Media 1’s, Six O’Clock Show, and years as presenter on the charity radio station Christmas FM.
Her latest release ‘Crying’ was written in a very vulnerable and raw headspace, first drafted following the murder of George Floyd and the subsequent Black Lives Matter movement.
‘Crying’ sees Zeinab move us with soulful and gentle vocals that give life to powerful lyrics that come straight from the heart.
Each verse is guaranteed to touch us on an emotional level and this also helped Zeinab understand what she was feeling, and how she could move forward and potentially help others understand and move forward too.
This is Zeinab’s second time working with Berlin-based producer Magro. She also collaborated with Dublin-based photographer Stephen Kieran to produce the single’s emotionally raw artwork.
‘Crying’ is also supported with a music video.
At present, Zeinab is working on projects with Ballymun based rappers Linco & Ger Kellett and London based producer George Mandizha (part of The K. Collective), Carlow based producer Hawk Jupiter and London based Singer-Songwriter Anthony Hughes, with plans for multiple releases later this year.
