“Travel through the depths of the soul… O fragrance of the world, when you waft.” With these sweet words, crafted by the distinguished poet Badr Bursali, composer Ahmed Khorshid embarks on a new chapter in his musical career, having chosen to give his voice the opportunity to be heard for the first time. This long-awaited step comes from an audience that knew him as a composer who left his mark on numerous national and romantic songs.
The upcoming song “Tasafir” (Travel) is not merely a fleeting vocal experiment; it carries a sincere emotion that unites a poet with refined diction, such as Badr Bursali, and a composer who knows how to craft a musical phrase and imbue it with spirit, before deciding this time to convey it to listeners through his own voice.
For many years, Ahmed Khorshid’s name has been associated with melodies that established a strong presence in the artistic scene, successfully reaching the hearts of audiences through the voices of various artists. However, his decision today to stand before the microphone as a singer reveals another facet of his artistic personality, underscoring that this experience stems from maturity and confidence, rather than a desire to embark on a transient adventure.
“Tasafir” bears the hallmarks of a calm, romantic song, where the lyrics and melody integrate seamlessly in a space rich with emotion. Khorshid bets on feeling rather than vocal display, presenting a work that touches the soul and reflects the artistic identity audiences knew him for as a composer, now discovering him as a singer.
This song opens a new page in Ahmed Khorshid’s career, proving that a true artist does not confine himself to the boundaries of his initial talent, but continues to seek new spaces for expression, relying on years of experience in music-making and a sincere desire to deliver a work that reaches the heart through its simplicity and authenticity.
