To hear him speak of music is to encounter someone who fully understands its power, who has been moved by its magic and seen its miracles. He’s devoted to music as both an ancient artform and eternal medicine. To hear him play music is to feel these truisms in live time. It’s a spirit that the New York-based songwriter has carried in his music—both as composer and collaborator. From early LPs like 2017’s Green Twins and 2020’s Will This Make Me Good, to his new album, I Can See, Hakim has pursued the truth in every note he’s written, every lyric he’s sung. His truth, though, is more akin to the abstract and intangible than the factual—more Borges than George Washington. It's a cosmic assuredness that manifests throughout I Can See; a belief that the good in the universe is good for a reason. Though these songs are older and they represent an uncertain period in Hakim’s life—when he was finishing up a record deal, forming the world of Cometa, and getting out of an extended relationship—I Can See is defined by its clarity. It’s a sharpness alluded to in the title, like feeling a car rattle as it amplifies potent low end or sitting in a hot tub in zero degree weather. “This record felt very cohesive from the beginning. It felt very precious to me and the tricky thing was figuring out what songs to put on the record,” he explains. He arrived at Sonic Ranch with about 40 demos and began picking out which ideas would make it onto the LP. Some of the songs on the album, like “Real Here Now,” are presented as faithful iterations of those first sketches. It lends the album a tactileness, an emphasis on dynamics that is enhanced by this duality. I Can See is a defining statement from an artist who has yet to put out a record that is anything but. And yet, Nick Hakim’s fourth solo LP is a different experience than his previous efforts. It’s bolder, stronger, more confident. Hakim is more intimately attuned to his vision, and there’s not a note on the album that’s out of place. Nick Hakim might shudder at anyone calling him a healer, but this is certainly music for healing, for taking a breath and facing the world with confidence, lucidity, and joy. “There’s something very gentle and very medicinal about this music. Obviously, we all want our music to be heard by people, but I have a different intention with this record,” he explains, before adding: “The intention is for it to connect with people that need it.” - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/portland/nick-hakim-at-aladdin-theater/200030381139741 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, theatre - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 3 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Portland - **state**: OR - **country**: United States - **location**: 3017 SE Milwaukie Ave, Portland, OR, United States, Oregon 97202 - **lat**: 45.5007 - **long**: -122.65453 - **full address**: 3017 SE Milwaukie Ave, Portland, OR, United States, Oregon 97202 ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Nick Hakim at Aladdin Theater - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/41038d4e59f4a8ad263e67487b5723f9609c911ff73858d7fc80e84d22b41cb9-rimg-w1200-h675-dc180808-gmir?v=1788178819 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Nick Hakim at Aladdin Theater being held? - **A:** Nick Hakim at Aladdin Theater takes place on Sat, 03 Oct, 2026 at 08:00 pm to Sat, 03 Oct, 2026 at 08:00 pm at 3017 SE Milwaukie Ave, Portland, OR, United States, Oregon 97202. - **Q**: Who is organizing Nick Hakim at Aladdin Theater? - **A:** Nick Hakim at Aladdin Theater is organized by Aladdin Theater. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
