Dil ke bikhre tukray chun lo Saans lo Iss weeraan jahaan mein Koi nahin par tum khud tau ho
PITCHFORK (Vindra Jagota) - The lyrics to “Saans Lo” were written by your friend who passed away, Annie Ali Khan. How did you think about situating her words, and the accompanying composition, with poetry written so long ago?
AROOJ AFTAB - I wasn’t thinking, “Oh, write this and put it onto Vulture Prince.” It was just happening as a process of my own grief, and made sense that it should go in an album even though it’s just voice and guitar. It’s something I didn’t even really instrumentalize. It’s an incomplete song. It grew legs and walked into the album itself. I woke up and had the voice note of the melody there.
Che il disco di Arooj Aftab, artista di origine pakistana trapiantata a Brooklyn, è destinato a essere uno dei più memorabili ed emozionanti del 2021 l'hanno detto in tanti. Mi accodo volentieri.
