Yasmine Hamdan is a pioneer in Middle Eastern pop music; she was the leader
of Soap Kills, generally cited as the first indie/electronic act to rise to
fame in that part of the world, and went on to gain an international
audience as a musician, songwriter, and actress. Born in Beirut, Lebanon in
1976, Yasmine's career in music began in the mid-'90s with a rock band
called Lombrix, which also featured multi-instrumentalist Zeid Hamdan
(despite sharing the same last name, they're not related). In 1997, after
Lombrix split up, Yasmine and Zeid launched a new project that would
combine traditional Arabic music with contemporary electronic sounds.
Together, they formed Soap Kills, releasing their debut album, "Bater", in
2001.
Soap Kills was one of the first independent acts in Lebanon to gain a
following, and became one of the most talked-about acts in the Middle East.
After cutting two more albums, 2005's "Cheftak" and 2005's "Enta Fen", and
touring Europe, the Middle East, and Australia, Yasmine relocated to Paris,
where she fell in with producer Mirwais, a former member of the band Taxi
Girl who also collaborated with Madonna. Together, they created the 2008
album "Arabology" under the name Y.A.S.; Yasmine also made music with the
American indie act CocoRosie. In 2012, Yasmine stepped out on her own,
going into the studio with producer Marc Collin to record her first solo
effort.
The album, called "Yasmine Hamdan", was released in France and Lebanon by
the end of the year, while a revamped and expanded edition, titled "Ya
Nass", was given an international release by Crammed Discs in 2013. In
2014, Yasmine's international career got a serious boost when filmmaker Jim
Jarmusch featured her in his hipster vampire film Only Lovers Left Alive,
starring Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston; in the movie, Yasmine plays
herself and delivers a mesmerizing performance at a nightclub in Tangiers.
Yasmine returned in 2017 with her second studio album, "Al Jamilat" (The
Beautiful Ones). Produced in part by UK producers Luke Smith and Leo
Abrahams, the album also saw her collaborating with Sonic Youth's Steve
Shelley and multi-instrumentalist Shahzad Ismaily.
