Reunited by the Static: A Tender Ode to Brotherhood and Memory

“We Listened to the Radio” is a homecoming.

After 25 years apart, the Nourallah Brothers—Faris and Salim—have rejoined not with grand ambitions, but with something more compelling: quiet sincerity. Their new single is a nostalgic, harmony-laced time capsule that doesn’t just reach into the past; it wraps it in warmth and plays it back like a half-remembered dream. The vocal contrast is stunning—Faris’ haunting falsetto floating like smoke above Salim’s grounded baritone, both winding together in a way that can only come from blood and history.

From the first chord, there’s a soft crackle—like tuning into an old radio station that plays memories instead of music. Lyrically, the track conjures lazy afternoons, childhood bedrooms, and the magic of discovering music together. But underneath the golden glow lies something deeper: reconciliation, healing, and the ache of lost time.

The fact that this track even exists feels miraculous. That these two brothers, once fractured by distance and silence, are singing again—together—is the real story. And yet, “We Listened to the Radio” doesn’t beg for attention. It sits gently in your headphones, patiently telling its story to anyone willing to really listen.

It’s a beautiful, understated triumph. More than a comeback—it’s a love letter to the act of coming back at all.
