3.7 greatErwann S. EMERITUS | March 12th 25

Very lovely and incredibly-textured chamber folk/jazz whose peaceful character sometimes gets a tad too peaceful for my taste

4.0 excellentBedex | December 29th 24

Wow now this is just stunning isn't it. 4 breaks the magic a touch for me, but it is recreated rapidly. Prettiness all round, beautiful vocal performance, delicate instrumentation. Track 1 is a nice bath in musical form. 4.1

4.5 superbdidnt ask to be staff, was made staff anyway, then got demoted for not doing staff stuff | December 7th 21

At times of heavy deliberation this album reveals its most blissful colours. Mostly consisting of melancholic subdued pieces influenced by Pakistani music, as well as jazz, Arooj Aftab created an immaculate and detailed work, where patience and attention to detail is the key.

3.5 greatajcollins15 | May 5th 21

At times this third album from the Pakistan artist is a surreal, enchanting, and truly breathtaking listen. The opening track ?Baghon Main? is a potent example of that with the incredible strings, bouncing standing bass, and signing that resonates with your soul. However, this album is also a rather odd pondering idea that doesn?t feel like it?s going particularly anywhere. Every song, except ?Last Night?, is the same kind of vibe; which one can get by simply listening to the ones who influenced her (Julia Holter and Fionna Apple). There is nothing that changes or builds and all that?s left is the beautiful vocals. Those vocals do deliver and for the whole project she makes sure to keep them as the focal point, but the instrumentals get stale rather quickly.
