In honour of #MothersDay, celebrated in the Middle East on 21st March, HUAWEI Music, the advertisements-free platform is celebrating the glorious yearly event with a free-to-stream playlist available on all Huawei devices.
Mothers play a fundamental role in our lives, yet, when it comes time to expressing how much we appreciate and love them, the right words escape us. Featuring the work of leading Middle Eastern singers and composers, HUAWEI Music has created an emotion-evoking playlist of artists who have found a way to tell our moms what meaning they hold in our lives and hearts.
While, there are many ways to express your love and gratitude on Mother’s Day, what better way to tell her than with song and music. Let the power of lyrics, melody and rhythms of soulful ballads and happy tunes lift her up and sway her like she always does with you.
If you can’t find the right words to show how much you love your mama, these lyrics will help. From bubbly tunes to soulful ballads, and everything in between, serenade the person who knows you best!
