Merna has spent much of her life moving between places, cultures, and different versions of herself. On her new EP, For Seasons: Love in a Time of War, she is less interested in finding one clear answer than in listening to what has always been there. Across five self-produced tracks, she reconnects with the oud, her ancestral roots, and her faith.
