Arooj Aftab Night Reign LP

Night Reign is the 2024 album from GRAMMY-winner Arooj Aftab, an ode to the night as her primary source of inspiration and a vivid reflection of the creative community she has fostered in her home of Brooklyn, New York. Featuring nine original compositions, three English-language tracks, and an array of guest artists, Night Reign is a perfumed, public garden of renewal, desire, shelter, and love guided by Aftab's voice – its reach and intensity complementing the sun's departure.

Given Aftab's aesthetic aim to illustrate the many spirits that make up the night, she delivered her most experimental, and intoxicating, recording to date. All Aftab's earlier recordings are captivating. That said, Night Reign is a powerful, sensuous, and commanding illustration of the artist's mature vision. It reveals just how receptive, and even vulnerable she is to the spirits of creative inquiry, possibility, and revelation.
