Verve Records is proud to announce ‘Night Reign’, the forthcoming album from GRAMMY® Award-winning artist Arooj Aftab.
Turning away, though never forgetting, the grief and loss that suffused her last solo album, Vulture Prince (which features the GRAMMY® Best Global Music Performance-winning track “Mohabbat”), wherein she confronted that which can be too quick and easy taken away, Aftab appears here with original music and in yet another form: as a bard of everyday possibility, quietude, and life-altering romance.
‘Night Reign’ is also a striking reflection of the creative community Aftab has fostered in her Brooklyn, New York home, with featured artists including: Vijay Iyer, Cautious Clay, Moor Mother, James Francies, Joel Ross, Kaki King, Maeve Gilchrist; and Chocolate Genius, Inc.
“These songs are focused on the many faces of night. For me, night is a quiet, peaceful, and soothing space. Night is a refuge in which I recount memories and accept circumstances. Night is my biggest source of inspiration: where new connections with people are made; where movement on the streets of New York is at its peak; where one falls in love again... and again; where we are lost in the face of its powers. Night is meant for resolutions, for preparing a new dawn. Night is for taking one’s power and manifesting what one ultimately wishes to be.”
