This week has been a bit of a loss for music, however, there is a shining light at the end of the tunnel and it comes in the form of Sevda Alizadeh (i.e. Sevdaliza) and her sophomore LP Shabrang. The Iranian born, Netherlands living artist takes every bit of artistic liberty FKA Twigs uses, but mixes it with the ambiance and subtleness of James Blake, while also exploring chamber pop and darkwave. For one whole hour, you will be taken through the haunting yet complex poetic nature that this album brings. These types of lyrics are ones that Ph.D.?s in English decode, and I love every second of it. Every track is so brilliantly recorded, executed, and performed, that it makes me feel like I am at one of the greatest plays of all time. The smallest drawback is that the closing track is not as strong as the rest of the album, otherwise this is a nearly flawless release.

I have to be in the right mood to listen to most of this album, but when I am in that mood
it's heavenly. Mostly quite restrained and reflective (and really beautiful while its at
it), I might be shallow for loving the bangers the most - Darkest Hour, Oh My God, and Eden
is such a great run of tracks, with Eden being the peak of the album and basically a perfect
edgy-but-gets-you-moving song.

Sharp/crisp yet... fuzzy(?) production but so appropriate to the material and vocal delivery. Creates an edgy atmosphere - I feel the room she is in and she fills the room with her world.
