Ali Khodami (Persian: علی خدامی; born 16 April 1990), better known by his stage name Sorena, is an Iranian rapper.[2][3][4] In his music, Sorena explores social and political issues, with a particular focus on the role of women in society.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]

Activity

[edit]

Sorena addresses political themes in various ways through his music, but his initial silence during the start of the Woman, Life, Freedom Movement sparked controversy.[14] However, he later voiced his support for the movement on social media.[15][7] Ali Sorena is known as the "Lonely Man" because he performs most of his works solo[16] and releases them as full albums. Notable examples include Negar and Gavazn.[10][16] Like many other underground artists in Iran, Sorena works independently of the government, facing numerous challenges in releasing his works.[17] In response to the 14th presidential election, Sorena declared the election illegitimate, writing the following on his Twitter account:[18]

I say "no" to this fraudulent, decayed election, just as I say "no" to all other forms of oppression.

Singles

[edit]

The released singles by Sorena are divided into two categories:

  • Songs released before the album "Lonely Man," which belong to the non-professional period and were recorded in a home studio. The composition of these songs was done by Sorena himself and includes "Jorm (Crime)," "Vatan (Homeland)," "Payan-Nameh (Thesis)," "Khis Shodi (You Got Wet)," "Amadeh Bash (Be Ready)," "Tasviri Az Dard-e-Man (An Image of My Pain)," and "Mohreh Bargasht (The Returned Piece)."
  • Songs released officially after the album "Lonely Man," all available on platforms such as SoundCloud, Spotify, and others. These singles include "Mehran," "Booseh Yahuda (Judas' Kiss)," "Nagmeh (Melody)," "Nafas (Breath)," and "Akharin Vasvaseh (The Last Temptation)." Other songs are considered demos of low quality, removed album tracks, or practice versions that have been unauthorizedly released by some individuals.
