Faten Kanaan returns with Diary of a Candle, a deeply melodic and understated collection that blends modern minimalism, early music, and ambient atmospheres. Known for her intuitive, narrative approach to composition, Kanaan uses counterpoint to guide pieces that feel timeless yet unplaceable—warm, mysterious, and emotionally resonant. Drawing inspiration from the sparseness of Hiroshi Yoshimura and touched by the textures of 1970s/80s film soundtracks, the album folds in tender woodwinds and layered strings alongside her signature synthesizer tones. Written, performed and mixed by Kanaan, and mastered by Heba Kadry, Diary of a Candle is a rich addition to her singular body of work. Recommended for fans of Kali Malone, Sarah Davachi, William Basinski, and Oneohtrix Point Never.
