Featured within a forthcoming deluxe edition of the former’s Vulture Prince.
Brooklyn singer-songwriter Arooj Aftab has announced a deluxe edition of her praised and Grammy nominated third album Vulture Prince.
The expanded double vinyl LP is set to land through Verve on June 24th and preceded by the unveiling of ‘Udhero Na’, a stirring and deeply emotive collaboration with sitarist Anoushka Shankar that will close out the album’s reworked track list.
Of the newly released song Aftab explains
“‘Udhero Na’ has been one of my dearest songs, written in 2005 and never released, played live on and off over the years. I’ve always held it close to my heart and am so happy to release it finally! It describes a very unique and fleeting emotional moment, a super underrated feeling. When the thought of someone from a very old and ‘passed’ relationship just pops into your head as you go about your present day to day.”
Hear ‘Udhero Na’ below.
Vulture Prince (Deluxe Edition) releases on June 24th via Verve. Pre-order the album on black vinyl here.
