Bedouine unveils "Dusty Eyes", the gorgeous first taste of her debut record

19 April 2017, 10:13 | Written by Laurence Day

LA-based singer/songwriter Bedouine announces her self-titled debut record and shares stellar lead single "Dusty Eyes".

Wanderlust-stricken Bedouine - real name Azniv Korkejian - is a dialogue and music editor in Hollywood, but will venture out in front of the cameras with Bedouine, her debut long-player for Matthew E. White's esteemed Spacebomb label.

"Moving around so much caused me at some point to feel displaced, to not really belong anywhere and I thought that was a good title," Korkejian explains of her moniker - although born to Armenian parents in Aleppo, Syria, she was raised in Saudi Arabia and the USA. Since arriving in the States she's lived in Boston, Houston, Los Angeles, Lexington (Kentucky), Austin, and Savannah (Georgia).

"I wrote 'Dusty Eyes' after coming home from what was clearly a final date," Korkejian adds of her new single. "It's about infatuation, interrupted by the attempt to intellectualise it; trying to perceive the object as interchangeable. It nods to the common if not predictable cycle when love presents a challenge. This particular object of my affection had flecksof colour in his eyes like particles of dust in a sun beam, thus the title."

Bedouine is released via Spacebomb on 23 June.
