From the Christian symbolism of fish to the Jewish sanctity of Shabbat, from the Islamic Jumu'ah prayers to the Buddhist reflections on impermanence, "Friday" is a collection that explores the unity and diversity of human experience through sound.
The album vibrantly resonates with a sense of global harmony, paying homage to the likes of French rap legend MC Solaar with tracks that reflect the modern western narrative. It channels the iconic voice-over style of Serge Gainsbourg, creating an ambiance that's at once intimate and universal.
Embracing the mystique surrounding Friday the 13th, Namasthay juxtaposes the superstition of misfortune with the beauty of vocal expression. Each song becomes a branch on the tree of life, depicted on the cover, symbolizing growth, connection, and the intricate web of fate that binds us.
"Friday" is a defiant stance against the unlucky, a testament to the power of voice to transcend, transform, and traverse the oft-feared date. It's a celebration of the unique, an album where each track is a beacon in the mist of the unknown.
