Arooj Aftab – Night Reign (CD)
Product Details
Arooj Aftab built her reputation on Urdu ghazals and a patient, minimalist approach to arranging, qualities that drew widespread attention with her 2021 breakthrough *Vulture Prince*. *Night Reign* finds her expanding that sonic vocabulary while staying rooted in the late-hour meditative quality that defines her work, a sound that sits comfortably between classical South Asian traditions and contemporary New York experimentalism.
2024 release. Night Reign is the fourth studio album by Pakistani singer and composer Arooj Aftab. Arooj Aftab - "Night Reign" / Night Reign is the new album from GRAMMY-winner Arooj Aftab, an ode to the night as her primary source of inspiration and a vivid reflection of the creative community she has fostered in her home of Brooklyn, New York. Featuring nine original compositions, three English-language tracks, and an array of guest artists, Night Reign is a perfumed, public garden of renewal, desire, shelter, and love guided by Aftab's voice - it's reach and intensity complementing the sun's departure. The album features contributions from musicians including Vijay Iyer, Shahzad Ismaily, Moor Mother, and Thompson's father Chocolate Genius, Inc.
