Acclaimed singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Faouzia has released the companion video to her latest irresistible pop song “Secrets” – streaming now on her official YouTube channel HERE.

“The ‘Secrets’ video was so fun to make! We filmed in an old warehouse, freezing and creepy, but also wonderful in thinking about all of the memories within its walls.” Faouzia shares. “There’s so much symbolism in this video, and I really don’t want to spoil that, or to take away

the meaning that it can have for everyone that watches it, but I will say that I hold this one particularly close to my heart, along with those that have entrusted me with important parts of their lives.

In addition to today’s video release, Faouzia is calling upon her ‘fawns’ to submit short video snippets revealing a personal secret of their own which they want to share with the world for a chance to have their footage featured in an upcoming video. Details on how to submit your videos will be announced next week.

The track was produced by Jesse Shatkin (Sia, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Lopez, One Direction) and Troy Samuela (Aaron Carpenter, Fitz and the Tantrums). Faouzia’s stunning vocals soar over an up-tempo beat alongside powerful lyrics of honesty and support. Upon release, “Secrets” was met with critical praise with UPROXX labeling the track “best new pop from this week” and a “triumphant number.”

Earlier this year, Faouzia teamed up with global superstar Kelly Clarkson on the incredibly powerful track, “I Dare You,” streaming now HERE. The song was part of a five-track collection of multi-language duets, put together by Clarkson herself. Faouzia’s voice stuns as she croons the anthem in Arabic, one of the three languages she is fluent in. The song premiered on The Kelly Clarkson Show alongside a moving performance video featuring all of the global artists – watch it HERE.

“Secrets” follows the release of string of impressive, critically acclaimed singles; “Wake Me When It’s Over,” “The Road” and “Tears of Gold.” LADYGUNN recently published a feature on the remarkable singer and stated, “Certain voices illicit deeper feelings and awe-stricken reactions than others, and many of those people become modern-day ‘legends’ in our society...One such voice that demands to be heard belongs to 19-year-old Moroccan-Canadian artist, Faouzia.” Alt Press added to the acclaim by declaring, “Faouzia is shaping up to be pop’s next fascination. Her incredible vocals exude maturity and control well beyond her age.” Earlier this year, Faouzia gave a striking acapella performance and breakdown of the anthemic “Tears of Gold” on an episode of Genius’ Verified , check it out HERE. “

Stay tuned for more to come from this rising superstar…

ABOUT FAOUZIA: When Faouzia (pronounced FOH-ZE-UH) steps up to a microphone, a mile-deep delivery emanates from her 5’2” frame lifted by Arabic trills informed from Moroccan heritage, lifelong pop reverence culled during a childhood in Canada, and diligence indebted to over a decade of classical training. This collision of cultures, eras, and styles asserts the trilingual 19-year-old singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist as a fresh force for popular music and culture affirmed by millions of views and streams, and acclaim courtesy of Billboard, Idolator, Ladygunn, Ones To Watch, and more within only two years. On her 2019 debut, she transmits a message as robust, real, and relatable as her voice is. “I’d love for listeners to get what they need from my voice,” says Faouzia, “If they feel healed or happy, that would be amazing. I hope it’s a safe place for them. I’m just a normal girl trying to be the best version of myself and help others do the same. I care a lot.” Speaking on her unique voice, Faouzia says: “It’s always funny to see people’s reactions when I start singing,” she smiles, “I’m glad I’ve got this oxymoron combination of a big voice and a little body. I always push myself because of it. When I was growing up, I often felt as if I wasn’t being listened to—like a ghost. Then, I would sing, and everybody would stop and listen. Now, I’ve got a message I want everyone to listen to.”
