Faouzia – Birthday

Today, internationally renowned vocalist, songwriter, and global breakout artist Faouzia releases her new single “BIRTHDAY” alongside an official music video.

Says Faouzia on the release of “BIRTHDAY,” “i had more to say…i wrapped it in a bow for your birthday. the film noir era isn’t over just yet…”

With “BIRTHDAY,” Faouzia returns with her first new music since the release of her debut album FILM NOIR this past November.

With FILM NOIR, Faouzia conjures a visual and cinematic world through her intricate and purposeful lyricism as well as her dramatic and melancholic melodies – with her unmistakable vocals taking center stage. The album spans 11 ethereal tracks and includes Faouzia’s first independent single “PORCELAIN,” as well as “PEACE & VIOLENCE” and viral breakout hit “UNETHICAL,” which landed Faouzia on the cover of Spotify’s Pop All Day playlist as well on Pop Rising. FILM NOIR has already garnered over 126M global streams and recently charted on Apple Music’s Top Pop Albums chart.

“BIRTHDAY” arrives just as Faouzia gears up for her nearly sold-out FILM NOIR TOUR, her first international run in almost four years. The trek kicks off next month in Berlin before hitting major European cities including Cologne, Brussels, Amsterdam, Paris, and London. It then heads to North America in July, beginning in Detroit and continuing through key markets including Minneapolis, Vancouver, Seattle, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Boston, Brooklyn, and Toronto before wrapping at the end of August. The FILM NOIR TOUR also includes select stops at major festivals such as Jazzablanca in Morocco, Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, Lollapalooza in Chicago, and Outside Lands in San Francisco. Due to overwhelming demand during pre-sale, including immediate sellouts in multiple markets, several venues were upgraded and second dates added.
