Watch Zahed Sultan’snew “Reuse Me” music video on http://www.youtube.com/zahedsultan

Zahed Sultan announces the release of his new extra play (EP) entitled “Reuse Me – EP” as well as a new music video for the title song “Reuse Me”. Through his new body of work, Zahed delves deeper into uncharted territory – fusing influences in alternative / electronica music with tantalizing vocals in both English and Arabic. Zahed debuts his vocal talents in both languages via this EP to express ever-growing concerns for social change around the world.

Aspiring for his sound to seep through crevices and appeal to today’s community of change-makers, Zahed’s conjures up two original tracks and two intricately woven remixes to lure listeners into his psyche – drawing on inspiration from the likes of Radiohead, The Gorillaz, Kanye West, SigurRos, and Nicolas Jaar amongst others.

Zahed releases his new EP in conjunction with an annual exposition he holds in Kuwait, entitled “REUSE,” to promote eco-friendly living via creative mediums. (www.projectreuseme.com).
