Music Reviews & Recommendations
Personal record reviews and discoveries across electronic, indie, hip-hop, experimental and alternative music.
Arooj Aftab - Night Reign
Night Reign, Arooj Aftab's fourth studio album, finds comfort in the dark. Sung in Urdu and English, it explores love in all its stages through poetry and jazz-tinged arrangements. Highlights include the unsettling "Bolo Na" with Moor Mother, a dark take on "Autumn Leaves," and the dreamy "Raat Ki Rani." The album leaves a bittersweet feeling: longing, fear and doubt sit alongside deep connection.
Tom Misch – Full Circle
Listening to Tom Misch’s Full Circle feels like being invited into a very personal chapter of his life. Through gentle guitar, jazz-inspired harmonies, and intimate songwriting, Misch explores exhaustion, family, love, acceptance, and the importance of slowing down.
