First press 2025.
Absolute spine tingler material here. Dhafer Youssef is one of the finest living vocalists on the planet and Shiraz shows exactly why. His voice bends and soars like it’s made of light floating over deep spiritual jazz textures warm oud lines and those hypnotic rhythmic patterns he does better than anyone. It’s meditative it’s ecstatic it’s proper goosebumps music the kind of album that stops you mid task because you suddenly need to just sit and listen. Pure world class beauty.
