SUMMARY:Sheherazaad
DTSTAMP:20260820T195001Z
DTSTART:20270201T183000Z
DESCRIPTION:South Asian influences in dark folk-pop\n\nSheherazaad creates 
	music about language\, femininity and the feeling of not\nquite belonging 
	anywhere. The American-Indian composer and theatre maker grew up\nin Calif
	ornia\, divides her time between India and Brooklyn\, and sings mainly in\
	nUrdu\, supplemented by English and Tamil. On her EP ‘Qasr’\, produced by 
	Arooj\nAftab\, she brought her cinematic folk-noir together for the first 
	time in a\nworld of her own.\n\nOn her debut album ‘Khudgarzi’\, due for r
	elease on 20 November\, she explores the\nspace between self-sacrifice and
	 self-preservation. The title means\n‘selfishness’ and refers to the image
	 of the ‘selfish woman’: someone who\nprioritises her own freedom over the
	 expectations of others. The ten tracks were\nwritten following a broken e
	ngagement and navigate through anger\, guilt\, grief\nand the possibility 
	of a fresh start.\n\nMusically\, Sheherazaad works with instruments from H
	industani\, Turkish\, Arabic\nand Carnatic traditions\, including the tanb
	ur\, santoor\, veena and rabab. She\ncombines these with ambient sounds\, 
	silence and dark pop. The first single\,\n‘Andher’\, immediately sets the 
	tone: a grand\, almost gothic declaration of love\nto darkness.
