On "Vulture Prince," the ████ ████ composerÆs remarkable voice, backed by a team ████ ████ of renowned musicians, transports listeners to ████ ████ worlds once known. ████ ████ ████ ████ ô'Vulture Prince' is about revisiting places ████ ████ IÆve called mine,ö says Aftab, ôplaces that ████ ████ donÆt necessarily exist anymore. It's about ████ ████ people, friendships, relationshipsùsome ████ ████ relationships that were unexpectedly short ████ ████ term, and how to deal with that.ö ████ ████ ████ ████ While writing "Vulture Prince" Aftab lost her ████ ████ younger brother, Maher, and she dedicates this ████ ████ album to his memoryùa signal of emergence from ████ ████ loss and grief. ôE quindi uscimmo a revider la ████ ████ stelle,ö as Dante says at last, out of the ████ ████ inferno, ôand thence we came forth to see again ████ ████ the stars.ö ████ ████ ████ ████ Acting as a second chapter to AftabÆs 2015 ████ ████ debut, Bird Under Water, Vulture Prince opens ████ ████ with a new composition of ôBaghon Main,ö a ████ ████ track from her first album. The lead song, ████ ████ along with the avian album titles, serves to ████ ████ tie the two records together. ôThe Tower of ████ ████ Silence comes to mind,ö says Aftab, ôthe Parsi ████ ████ funeral structure where their beloved deceased ████ ████ are left to be consumed by vultures, thus ████ ████ returning to the cycle of life. These sort of ████ ████ shapeshifting elements, the burning desire to ████ ████ embody and lead this mystic ancestral power, ████ ████ growth as a person and musician, all led to ████ ████ Vulture Prince.ö ████ ████ ████ ████ Of course, AftabÆs signature songwriting style ████ ████ also led to Vulture Prince. The composer has an ████ ████ uncanny ability to make music with layers upon ████ ████ layers of instrumentation, yet somehow it all ████ ████ feels very light, uncluttered, minimal on the ████ ████ ears. AftabÆs music then mirrors her voice, ████ ████ ethereal yet heavyùlike a cloud crossed with a ████ ████ boulder. ████ ████ ████ ████ A graduate of Berklee College of Music, the ████ ████ composer channels artists from Terry Riley to ████ ████ Abida Parveen, and has played venues from ████ ████ Lincoln Center to (Le) Poisson Rouge to the ████ ████ Museum of Modern Art. In 2020, Aftab composed ████ ████ music for the Academy Award-shortlisted film ████ ████ Bittu and sang on ResidenteÆs Latin Grammy ████ ████ Award-winning single ôAntes Que El Mundo Se ████ ████ Acabe.ö On Vulture Prince, she is backed by an ████ ████ all-star cast, including Badi Assad, Maeve ████ ████ Gilchrist, Jamey Haddad, Bhrigu Sahni, Kenji ████ ████ Herbert, Lady Jess, Jarvis Benson, Malcom ████ ████ Parson, Jorn Bielfeldt, Shazhad Ismaily, ████ ████ Juliette Jones, Mario Carrillo, Petros ████ ████ Klampanis, Nadje Noordhuis, Gyan Riley, and ████ ████ Darian Donovan Thomas. ████ ████ ████ ████ So here is "Vulture Prince"ùbeautiful, ████ ████ powerful, dusky, and, above all, thoughtful. ████ ████ Included on the new album are singles, ████ ████ ôMohabbatö and ôLast Night,ö an old Rumi poem ████ ████ Aftab often sings live, but has never before ████ ████ released. Tucked subtly into "Vulture Prince" ████ ████ is ôSaans Lo,ö a song with words penned by the ████ ████ composerÆs late friend Annie Ali Khan, who ████ ████ gently advises us to breatheùto move on. After ████ ████ seven minutes, ôSaans Loö fades into a washed- ████ ████ out drone before opening up into the colorful ████ ████ jazz-oriented closer, ôSurooröùa dynamic new ████ ████ world of possibilities. ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ▄▀▀███▓▄ ▄▓███▀▀▄ ████ ████ ■ ███▓█ .···.
