"I Wear Black" Released
August 28, 2025
Archiplexus AudioLab presents "I Wear Black," a deeply personal tribute written and produced by Shwan Alhashimi in memory of his beloved mother, Qatr Al Nada Abdul Aziz (1947-2025).
This powerful single explores themes of grief, resilience, and the enduring legacy of maternal love through architectural metaphor. Created after the passing of a woman who raised three children on her own with unwavering strength and determination, the song transforms mourning into a celebration of the foundation she built within her son.
"I wear black, not for mourning but for resilience" - these words capture the essence of a tribute that speaks to anyone who has known profound loss yet found unshakable strength in the love of those who shaped them.
Qatr Al Nada Abdul Aziz passed away in Dubai following a courageous battle with cancer. In honor of her final wish, she was laid to rest in Wainui, Auckland, New Zealand. Her legacy lives on through this musical monument to the blueprint of strength she left behind.
All proceeds from "I Wear Black" are being donated to charity in her honor.
