Sheherazaad announces her debut full-length album, Khudgarzi, out 20 November via Erased Tapes. Alongside the announcement, she shares the first single, ‘Andhera’, accompanied by an acapella version of the song, filmed by French filmmaker Vincent Moon.
‘Andhera’ captures the lingering rage and grief of heartbreak, swirling together in the darkness. Sheherazaad explains:
“I wrote Andhera (Darkness) after I’d met the love of my life, where for some reason, romantic gloom and obscurity was still bleeding out of me. The song was largely composed in an ex’s coat closet as I tried to keep my volume down lest I interrupted what I felt was his “real” work outside. So I’d sing at the rock bottom of my vocal range, praising feminine darkness and the ancient murky cosmos. It became a frilly goth anthem, with eyeliner running down its cheeks, where the beloved is essentially just the color black.”
