Emel Mathlouthi pops up on radar with a new album titled “Everywhere We Looked Was Burning.” Available for download and streaming, this is the follow-up to Tunisian-born/New York-based Mathlouthi’s sophomore album Ensen, which came out in 2017. Back in March, Mathlouthi shared “Footsteps,” the lead single from her new LP.
Everywhere We Looked Was Burning was recorded in the Catskill Mountains, London, and France. It was co-produced by Steve Moore (Zombi) and Ryan Seaton, and was mixed by Chris Tabron (Beyoncé, Common, the Strokes) and Marta Salogni (the xx, Björk, Frank Ocean). The origins of the album took root in Woodstock, where Mathlouthi rented a house to “write about nature as well as the beauty and struggle of these times.”
