ZAINAB announces new single “Ayewah!”, a collaboration with Tony Quattro, out today on Ninja Tune’s Technicolour imprint.

“‘Aywah’ basically means ‘yes girl’ in Arabic,” explains ZAINAB, “and that’s exactly what the song is - for the girls. It’s a fun, dancey, dance-floor weapon — a peak-time banger with a mijwiz lead.”

The track was inspired by ZAINABs time on the road touring with Palestinian-Chilean artist Elyanna. “After every set, her friends and family would big each other up by saying, ‘Ayewah, ayewah!’ and it became part of my lexicon. When I got back in the studio, I wanted to make a song inspired by that word.”
