What The Release Notes Say

ENG 
Tasweerah (62TV/PIAS - march 2022) is the fourth album of the Tunisian singer / songwriter Jawhar. Tasweerah means at the same time: portrait, image, but also: projection of the mind... The album is a series of freeze-frames of more or less personal portraits. 
The songs are, each in their own way, attempts towards a universal portrait of the artist. They question his place and that of imagination in society, placing “creation and the quest for beauty” at the center of the album. Voluntarily raw, Tasweerah takes us back into the folk / pop 
“clair-obscure” of Jawhar, proclaimed in the category Arabic Dream Pop. 

FR 
Tasweerah (62TV/PIAS - février 2022) est le quatrième album du singer / songwriter tunisien Jawhar.  Tasweerah veut dire à la fois, portrait, image, instantané, mais aussi projection de l’esprit… L’album est une série d’arrêts sur image, de portraits plus ou moins personnels. Les chansons sont chacune à leur manière des esquisses d'un portrait universel de l’artiste. Elles questionnent sa place et celles de l’imaginaire dans la société, posent la création et la quête de la beauté au centre de l’album. Volontairement brut et sans artifice, Tasweerah nous replonge dans la folk / pop clair obscure de Jawhar, autoproclamé dans la catégorie Arabic Dream Pop.
