What matters is the energy that flows through us and carries onto the crowd or pours out of the records and individual songs we put out. What matters is the intention, the emotions, the authenticity of the messages, the exchange with the listeners.” - Nehal Abuelata - Sweet HayaH

Can't Get Comfortable

Sweet HayaH

Sweet HayaH is so proud to finally share “Can’t Get Comfortable” with each & everyone of you. This song was written by the band in the Summer of 2020, so this single is an echo to the social injustices, the inequality & the hardships so many have endured these past few years (and throughout the ages). Our greatest wish for this song is

Sweet HayaH is so proud to finally share “Can’t Get Comfortable” with each & everyone of you. This song was written by the band in the Summer of 2020, so this single is an echo to the social injustices, the inequality & the hardships so many have endured these past few years (and throughout the ages). Our greatest wish for this song is that it will inspire or even empower beyond its inception:

Gentle Lies

The songs on Sweet HayaH's full-length album “Gentle Lies” weave together the band’s Retro/World/Soul/Funk/ style with its members’ own personal and musical journeys. Choosing to take a subtle approach in how they would tell their stories through music, the band carefully considered how these songs would speak to its audience. This album will always be special, as it represents a collaborative project that features a myriad of guest musicians, as well as family and friends who sang along on the Outro of their single titled “Backwards”.  The album was produced by Todd Jeremias, an Award-winning San Jose Producer and musician who challenged the band to test new limits throughout the recording process. Jeremias’ valuable mentorship was a major factor in the magical outcome of “Gentle Lies” and continues to have a positive influence on Sweet HayaH today.
