Love in Exile
by Arooj Aftab, Vijay Iyer & Shahzad Ismaily
Created entirely in a live, improvised studio setting, this stunning trio release merges traditional Urdu ghazal with deeply meditative ambient jazz. The instrumentation consists primarily of sparse piano, subtle Moog synthesizers, and Aftab's haunting, emotionally devastating vocal deliveries. It provides an incredibly spacious, hypnotic exploration of grief, displacement, and spiritual longing.
