El Mehdi Unleashes His Most Personal Work Yet With New Track ‘ENCORE'
Moroccan artist El Mehdi returns with 'ENCORE', a raw and reflective single blending Amazigh heritage with genre-blurring emotion. Jun 09, 2025 Moroccan artist El Mehdi has dropped ENCORE, a powerful single years in the making. Written during one of the most difficult moments in his life, the track nearly never made it to the light. But now, fully realized and sonically expansive, ENCORE arrives as his most vulnerable and honest offering yet. Built around a haunting arrangement of oud, cello, and violins, the track leans into minimal yet cinematic textures, produced by Sunjun, Tallisker, and Wake Island, with additional vocal production by Caracol. El Mehdi's voice drips with intent, raw, textured, and resolute. The cover art pays homage to his Aït Atta ancestry through Asbia' Iquorain, a set of Amazigh silver bracelets traditionally worn by women for protection and pride. 'They embody the duality I explore in ENCORE,' Mehdi says. 'Our strengths, our weapons, can also become our chains.'

'The blonde hair came back on and I immediately started crying for some reason,' Felton told the 'Today' show. 'It's such a huge part of my childhood. It's like me going back to high school,'. The 37-year-old originally portrayed the protagonist Harry Potter's schoolboy rival when he was a child. He described his return to the 'Harry Potter' universe as a 'pinch me' moment, adding, 'I keep thinking I'm dreaming.' 'I let go of that character 16 years ago and now getting the chance to step back in his shoes as a father this time, in a new story – I get to meet Draco as an adult, which is very exciting,' he added. Felton is the first actor from the movie series to join the cast of the stage play, which opened in London in 2016 and on Broadway in 2018. The two-part play has won many accolades, including several Olivier and Tony Awards. The actor will join the Broadway cast in November for a 19-week engagement.
