## Caption

aroojaftab's newest album, Night Reign, is a celebration of the moonlit hours she loves best. Whereas her last solo record, the Grammy-winning Vulture Prince, was recorded in the wake of her brother’s passing, the new project arose from a happier period, as the pandemic waned, the city reopened, and nighttime returned to its place of primacy over day. ⁠
⁠
Aftab credits her ability to transcend stylistic and social divides partly to her experience as a lifelong outsider. “If you move around a lot, you have this nomadic [lack of] attachment to one thing as your sense of self,” she says. “Your grounding isn’t very firm, and that sets you free and makes you the type of person a bunch of different groups can relate to.” ⁠
⁠
This mindset sits at the core of Night Reign, a record that moves fluidly between diverse idioms — from Qawwalis to jazz standards to pop and neo soul — refusing to rest in one place too long.⁠
