"Vulture Prince" is the third album by Brooklyn-based Pakistani composer Arooj Aftab. Praised by NPR, which hailed her composition as one of the "Greatest Songs By 21st Century Women+," and the New York Times, which hailed her work as one of the "Best Classical Music Tracks of 2018," Aftab's boundary-pushing sound hovers between classical minimalism and New Age, devotional Sufi poetry and electronic trance, jazz textures and states of pure being. On "Vulture Prince," the composer's remarkable voice, backed by a team of renowned musicians, transports listeners to worlds once known. So here is "Vulture Prince" - beautiful, powerful, somber and above all thoughtful. Included on the new album are the singles "Mohabbat" and "Last Night," an ancient Rumi poem that Aftab often sings live but has never released. Subtly embedded in "Vulture Prince" is "Saans Lo," a song with words penned by the composer's late friend Annie Ali Khan, gently advising us to breathe and move on. After seven minutes, "Saans Lo" fades into a washed-out drone before segueing into the colorful, jazz-oriented closing track "Suroor" - a dynamic new world of possibilities.
