Arooj Aftab’s latest album Night Reign (Verve, 2024) is a perfumed, public garden of renewal, peaking the senses with each composition, each turn of phrase, each modulation. Stepping away from, though never forgetting, the grief and loss that animated her Grammy Award-winning album Vulture Prince (Verve/New Amsterdam, 2021), Aftab appears here with original music and in yet another form: as bard of everyday possibility, quietude, and life-altering romance.

The majesty of this intrepid work is Aftab’s voice in ample conspiracy toward a jagged world made softer—promising, even—by tones and tales conceived with others. “I want to make music with and for everybody,” she confidently declares. Night Reign is that chance and its triumph. The line up includes Keeley Forsyth, Vanessa Boderet, Rachael Lavelle, Sheherazaad and Zsela. Join us this November and be made anew.
