Arooj Aftab
Arooj Aftab has earned her position as 'the coolest rock star in the world' (Uncut), by embracing risk and nonconformity.
Her fourth album, Night Reign, was released to universal acclaim, earning two Grammy nominations in jazz and global performance categories, showcasing the Brooklyn-based artist's defiance of genre boundaries. Th album appeared on many Best of 2024 lists and received praise from the Wall Street Journal, who said its ‘beauty is self-evident, and it stands on its own’.
Having spent her teenage years in Lahore, Pakistan, the birth-place of her music-obsessed parents, Aftab first came to wider attention with her viral cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. Her previous album Vulture Prince brought her to the vanguard of the cultural zeitgeist, earning her a Grammy for beguiling standout track Mohabbat.
