Fatima Al Qadiri – Shaneera

Shaneera is an extended play by Kuwait musician Fatima Al Qadiri, released on 13 October 2017 via the label Hyperdub. Marking Qadiri’s move towards more dance-orientated material, Shaneera is conceptually about an “evil queen” that defies “binary status quo gender roles,” a character that Qadiri appears as on the EP’s cover art. Many critics found Shaneera much better than Qadiri’s previous records for its playful use of its concept.
