In case you haven’t seen this already, you should definitely check out Fatima Al Qadiri‘s terrific new video for ‘How Can I Resist U’, taken from her latest EP. I just searched the blog for the also great ‘Vatican Vibes’ video only to find we never posted it?! Oh well, at least we haven’t forgotten to include Genre-Specific Xperience on our EPs of the year list. This video was made by Sophia Al-Maria, you’ll find more info if you click through to YouTube.
