Alternative fusion artist ‘As Per Casper’ release their latest single ‘Heat’, taken from upcoming EP ‘Flow’. Formed in Dubai, lead singer-songwriter and frontwoman, Carla Saad collaborates with various musicians across different nationalities to create music that bridges traditional Western and Arabic influences to create rich, full-bodied, symphonic musical pieces.

Their latest single ‘Heat’ is no different, an alternative R&B track that sees As Per Casper enlist the help of LA record producer and artist Font Leroy. Together Leroy and Saad crafted a chilled alternative R&B single that weaves slick production techniques with dreamy melodies and warm vocal harmonies that frame the lyrical content perfectly. ‘Heat’ centres around a yearning for a love that’s lost and still finding beauty in the pain it caused.

Carla Saad explains the track further, “Font Leroy and I came together and wrote this piece about a somewhat unconditional love that is not reciprocated thus creating a burning urge for it "Give me that heat". The uplifting and flirty vibe of the track says even though we're through, the flame remains very much alive"

The brainchild of Carla Saad, As Per Casper firmly believes that music can break down barriers and stereotypes while providing a platform for discussion and collaboration. With the world increasingly polarised music acts as a source to exchange ideas and stories, with the collaborative nature of the collective opening up opportunities to share experiences and culture from artists around the world that apart from music, would otherwise have little in common. Carla Saad is a testament to this idea, coming from a Syrian-Palestinian origin while also having connections to Dubai, the UK and now living in Berlin, Saad knows better than most the rich musical diversity and culture that is offered from both the East and West.

As Per Casper released their debut album ‘Hit The Ground’ in 2016 which topped the iTunes Middle East chart, since then Saad and the collective have performed extensively throughout the UAE and beyond including Expo 2020 (headling Mariah Carey & Hussein Al Jasmi), Mother of the Nation festival ( headlining Craig David & Sherine) and Fête de la Musique at the Dubai Opera to name a few. Garnering support from the likes of Vogue Arabia, multiple nominations for ‘Best Original Act’ and ‘Best Local Act/Band’ across 2018, 2019 and 2020 at the TimeOut Dubai and What's On Awards, and brand collaborations with the likes of Shure, Absolut Vodka and LUSH. Now back with their latest single ‘Heat’ and upcoming EP ‘Flow’, As Per Casper look to continue to inspire others to collaborate, discuss and exchange ideas through their music.
