Vocalist, Hamdan Al-Abri releases his debut music video Falling, that was filmed across his hometown of Dubai, UAE. Including, Deira Creek, Karama, Downtown Burj Khalifa, and Dubai Festival City Walk.

"The video shows me wandering through different parts of Dubai, lost in my own thoughts, trying to make sense of my life and everything that's going on in the world. I'm surrounded by people, the city and yet I feel alone... I'm sure a lot of people have gone through the feeling of isolation at some point in their lives... I think the video embodies that feeling perfectly..."said Hamdan.

Toronto raised, video Director Muna Ismail has worked for major international networks such as CTV, Showtime, MuchMusicArabYeah and entertainment shows eTalk and Canadian idol. "It's a great honour to have been asked to do this project by Hamdan's manager Rebecca Brianceau. It's my first time directing and to film here in Dubai, our base and home for Hamdan was essential. My co-director, Shaun Mir and I wanted this song to touch people universally and it's reflected in the emotions and colorful faces. Our DP, Khalid, has an eye for aesthetic. He was able to showcase the rawness of the song and it was all captured on a Canon 5D,"said Muna.

"The video is brilliant, it's a new take on music videos made in Dubai" raves Canadian music manager Rebecca Brianceau. Muna's a longtime friend of ours and she's a perfect fit. She has the creativity, passion and has supported us from the start. The locations are key. They are filmed in some of the most textured and diverse areas of Dubai. We utilized technology and I, for example, would skype in from my home base here in Toronto, Canada and was able to virtually see the entire making of it.
