Hanni El Khatib – Moonlight

By Denise Beltran

Hanni El Khatib’s (link) third studio album, Moonlight, was released on January 20, 2015. Khatib’s genre of specific music has been described as blues, rock and folk being blended together to create a unique sound. His second studio album, Head in the Dirt was recorded with Dan Auerbach from the Black Keys. In “Moonlight” Khatib wrote a song called Two Brothers that he has dedicated to his parents. The song begins with a very enticing guitar rift that pulls the listener right in. With other tantalizing sounds chiming in and out of the sound and drums that pick up the sound there is no wondering why this song will become a fan favorite among people.
