Grammy-winning Arooj Aftab releases 'Night Reign', the follow up to her critically-acclaimed album 'Vulture Prince'. Aftab makes the night the focus of this nine-song collection. Entirely in her own voice and through her own story, she delves into the multifaceted, bold and fascinating realm that comes to life after dark. Some nights are for falling in love, some are for solitude and introspection, some are to be annoyed at a forced social gathering-and so go the stories of 'Night Reign'. The album features new friends like Cautious Clay shredding on flute, Moor Mother echoing Aftab's sentiment of how cruel the world is, and Chocolate Genius aka Marc Anthony Thompson lending his tender sensibilities to a song about being grounded. The resulting new music again showcases Aftab's striking ability to build a thing of beauty from distinct elements. With open-heartedness, candour and wit, Aftab lets us get even closer to her.
