The 'Higher (Breathe Easy)' is now available for streaming on Apple Music and Anghami, playable on Dolby Atmos-enabled mobile phones and devices.
Dubai-based professional recording facility MNK Studios has announced the release of the first Dolby Atmos mix for Emirati soul artist Hamdan Al Abri aka ABRI.
With its immersive sound, the Atmos mix allows listeners to experience a soundscape of sound in a binaural or “3-dimensional” format, which is different to conventional stereo mixes produced for the consumer market.
For the latest single release Higher (Breathe Easy) by ABRI, MNK Studios created the Dolby Atmos mix, the first of its genre in the region.
Speaking about the release, Miltiadis Kyvernitis, Owner and Chief Audio Engineer at MNK Studios, said: “We are thrilled to be able to offer this innovative sound technology to our clients and to be at the forefront of the region’s music scene. Dolby Atmos for music is the way forward and is a game-changer for music production, and we’re excited to have had the opportunity to work with the talented and renowned ABRI for our first release since enabling our studio facility with Dolby Atmos.”
Hamdan Al Abri, who has been making music for nearly two decades, is known for his soulful sound and vocal range. As the first homegrown soul artist from the UAE to have a song released in Atmos, he hopes to connect with his fans on a deeper level and bring them even closer to the emotions and energy of his music.
Abri added: “It is an amazing experience. The fact that you become immersed in the music is something that really triggered my interest, so that instead of just listening to the music, you are a part of the song and the experience of how the song was created. Hopefully, we will be doing more of these with MNK Studios. I believe a lot of people in the industry think this will become the standard. I am very excited about the journey and hope to see Dolby Atmos becoming the standard of the music listening experience for all artists dedicated to the art of music.”
Apple Music and Anghami are now streaming Higher (Breathe Easy), which can be played on Dolby Atmos-enabled mobile devices.
