New local beats. UAE based Indian pop artist Shilpa Ananth has just released a beautifully choreographed and colorful video for Align 2.0 (ARKTKT Remix). Eastern melodies swirl around a soulful electro-pop palette hinting at the song’s underlying themes of identity and self. For her, it's about “wrestling with my many identities, trying to find balance between all the languages I speak, dream, communicate and sing in, and wondering when 'my time' to become the one I was born/meant to be will finally come.” Search for it on YouTube.

UAE stories serialised. Jameel Library, part of Jameel Arts Centre in Dubai, has published its first illustrated novel by Sarnath Banerjee.  17-year Cicada features ten chapters, released every fortnight on Jameel Arts Centre’s website: jameelartscentre.org. The book is an episodic account of a young woman trapped in a vast library. Surrendering to her fate, she roams around the desolate reading rooms, walks between the shelves, takes selfies and eats from the well-stocked refrigerator. Sometimes she has imaginary conversations.
