Fez — Moroccan singer and content creator Yassine Dassalem has released a cover of “Sway,” the internationally recognized song popularized by American entertainer Dean Martin, accompanied by a new music video set in New York City.
Published on October 17, the performance introduces Dassalem’s interpretation of the classic, marking another step in his growing focus on music after years of building an audience through social media.
The video credits filmmaker Ayoub Ait oussemlal as director, while CasaStu handled recording, mixing, and mastering.
Revisiting an international classic
“Sway” has enjoyed decades of popularity through interpretations by singers across different generations.
Originally adapted from the Mexican song “¿Quién Será?,” the English-language version became closely associated with Dean Martin following his 1954 recording.
Dassalem’s choice brings the familiar song into his developing repertoire of covers, following his earlier exploration of established international musical favorites.
The video accompanying the performance features imagery associated with New York’s Grand Central Terminal, including its recognizable central information booth and clock.
The visual presentation adds an international setting to the release, although the video’s credits do not establish where the scenes were filmed.
From travel content to music
Before pursuing a more visible solo singing career, Dassalem built an online following through travel-related content, sharing destinations and experiences with his audience.
In April 2026, Lifestyle magazine reported his release of a cover of Dalida’s “Helwa Ya Baladi,” a song associated with nostalgia, belonging, and affection for one’s homeland.
His musical interests, however, extend further back.
In 2017, Dassalem and his twin brother Younes attracted attention as the Dassalem Twins with their song “Goulou Goulou.”
The new “Sway” cover continues Dassalem’s musical activity as a solo performer, introducing another international classic to audiences familiar with his digital content.
The singer shares updates about his creative projects through his official Instagram account.
