Lahore's Arooj Aftab has embraced her own identity effortlessly, creating a distinct, appealing sound
Although Aftab sounds like she's straining just a bit in Hallelujah, an English track, another languorous guitar-driven number, but she pulls it off without too many hiccups. She surprises us in Beloved, drawing from her classical influences when you play it expecting another English track. Beloved has some cool bass lines -- this is the first time you've heard a bass on her tracks, in fact -- and charged percussions that drive it forward. We're not sure if these tracks are a part of Aftab's college project work, but the production is remarkably good. Aftab would make for a fantastic live act if the performance levels were maintained outside the studio.
