يا يمنية

Khaleeji pop-folk with a light 6/8 sway, hand percussion and oud phrases carrying the verse, pre-chorus strips to voice and frame drum, chorus opens with layered claps and a singable hook. Lead vocal stays warm and close-mic with airy doubles on key lines, a short echo on the hook word, and a tasteful riq fill into each section. Bright, earthy, intimate mix with a clean modern sheen.
