On her sophomore album, Ensen, Emel distills her blend of acoustic and electronic sounds into a style that's even more uniquely her own, citing a diverse array of influences including Björk, Joan Baez, Massive Attack, and Egyptian protest singer Shiekh Imam. With several producers, including Valgeir Sigurðsson (Björk) and her main collaborator French/Tunisian producer Amine Metani, Emel recorded Ensen across seven countries and two continents. The atmospheric approach the team developed brings out the expansive, cinematic side of Emel's music.
