Suad Bushnaq (Crashing EidSalma’s Home, Basma, Montreal Girls, From the AshesQueen Tut) has released a soundtrack album for the Saudi drama Hobal. The album features the composer’s original score from the film and is now available to stream/download on Amazon and most other major digital music services.
