For Inez, June 26 is more than a release date. It marks the end of a chapter that began two years ago, a journey she describes through the metaphor of a butterfly searching for its destination, only to discover that the true reward lies in the growth experienced along the way. Now, after years of work, challenges, and personal transformation, the Moroccan artist is ready to share her debut album with the world. A deeply personal project shaped by real experiences and genuine emotions, the album arrives as the most important milestone of her career to date.
In a heartfelt message shared ahead of the release, Inez reflected on the journey behind the album and the lessons that emerged throughout the process.
Rather than focusing solely on the destination, she spoke about the patience, resilience, and self-discovery that accompanied the creation of the project. Every song, she explains, carries a piece of her story. Some tracks are drawn directly from her own experiences, while others were inspired by people she met along the way. Together, they form a body of work rooted in authenticity and emotional honesty.
The road to completion was far from simple.
According to Inez, the process was filled with moments of excitement, doubt, laughter, tears, and countless late-night conversations. Like many debut projects, the album demanded persistence and belief, not only from the artist herself but also from the team that helped bring the vision to life.
Adding to the anticipation, Inez has officially revealed the complete tracklist for the album, offering fans their first look at the musical universe she has spent the past two years building.
Spanning 16 tracks, the project combines solo records with a series of high-profile collaborations. Among the featured artists are Akhras on Chkoun Nta, Chirin on Ana Sittek, Najm on Ana Lik, Keblack on I Got You, Nouaman Belaiachi on Malo Hada, and Tawsen on Galou Fiya.
The diversity of the guest list reflects the album's ambition. Bringing together artists from different musical backgrounds, the collaborations promise a rich blend of sounds while remaining connected to Inez's artistic identity.
Beyond the music itself, the project serves as a tribute to her Moroccan roots. Throughout the album, Inez embraces her culture, language, and heritage, weaving them into songs designed to resonate with listeners both at home and abroad.
That connection to identity remains one of the album's defining themes. While the project looks outward toward a global audience, it remains firmly anchored in the experiences and influences that shaped her as an artist.
For Inez, the debut album represents more than a collection of songs. It is the culmination of years of growth, reflection, and determination. It captures a moment of transformation while opening the door to an entirely new chapter.
And if the newly revealed tracklist is any indication, Inez is preparing to make that chapter unforgettable.
On June 26, the butterfly finally lands.
