AROOJ AFTAB

Night Reign (Vinyl LP, Silver)

Verve
Vinyl LP (Silver Colour)
At WOMAD earlier this year, there was one name on the lips of all in attendance: Arooj Aftab, a Pakistani vocalist with the chosen home of Brooklyn, NYC. With a voice of unmatched beauty and mystique, and a boldly independent approach to her craft, Aftab's debut album Vulture Prince was nothing short of astonishing. Now, Arooj Aftab appears ready to take things to an entirely new plateau, with new album Night Reign just unveiled. Featuring an array of guests including the likes of Moor Mother, Cautious Clay, Joel Ross, as well as regular collaborators Petros Klampanis and Maeve Gilchrist, this extraordinary follow-up is set to take this one-of-a-kind voice to dazzling new places. - Flying Out

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 – its reach and intensity complementing the sun’s departure.
