After a quarter-century apart, the Nourallah Brothers have reemerged with a gentle spark of nostalgia and hard-earned peace. Their new single ‘We Listened to the Radio’ feels less like a comeback and more like a quiet reunion between two kindred spirits returning to their first love of songwriting.
There’s something timeless in the way Faris and Salim trade melodies. Their voices move like old friends catching up, with Faris’s upper tones gliding wistfully above Salim’s grounding harmonies. It’s the kind of vocal chemistry that can only be born from shared memory and weathered distance. While the track wears its simplicity proudly, there’s a weight behind each note and a sense that the brothers are rediscovering their bond in real time.
The song itself is a tender homage to youthful wonder, back when tuning into the radio felt like tapping into magic. The brothers keep it personal, filtered through the lens of two artists who’ve lived, lost, and grown separately. The result is a track breathing warmth, and full of unspoken grace.
What makes this release so affecting is the story behind it. Two estranged siblings, once derailed by silence and struggle, finding their way back to harmony with a song. ‘We Listened to the Radio’ is a reminder that some things, even after years of dissonance, still sound better together.
There’s no glossy label campaign or reunion tour here. Just two musicians reconnecting over the thing that always bound them: the power of a well-crafted tune. And sometimes, that’s more than enough.
