On ‘Shabrang’, the second studio album from Iranian-Dutch artist Sevdaliza, you can’t help but be swept away by the transcendent, entirely immersive sonics and emotive songwriting. Over the years, Sevdaliza and Mucky have formed an undeniably partnership, it’s one that is ever stronger and brighter on ‘Shabrang’, which boasts their best work to date in tracks like ‘Lamp Lady’ (which the singer performanced earlier this week), ‘Oh My God’, ‘Darkest Hour’ and ‘Human Nature’.

For her COLORS ENCORE performance, Sevdaliza treats us to yet another gem from ‘Shabrang’, the breathtaking experience that is ‘DORMANT’. Backed by a frosty, electronic trip-hop beat, the song is elevated by the singer’s delicately delivered falsetto-laden vocals as she hopes to reignite a dormant relationship. Dive into the mesmerising atmospherics of ‘DORMANT’ up top and don’t forget to put ‘Shabrang’ on rotation too.

Since gracing the COLORS stage well over four years ago with a breathtaking performance of ‘Amandine Insensible’ which is taken from her ‘Children of Silk’ EP, Iran-born, Dutch-based multi-disciplinary artist Sevdaliza has gone onto release two stellar albums. Her debut LP ‘ISON’ dropped in November 2015 and captured the artist’s haunting and captivating vocals over swirling, sophisticated soundscapes on songs like ‘Hero’, ‘Hubris’ and ‘Marilyn Monroe’. This year, Sevdaliza released ‘Shabrang’ her magnificent sophomore offering which further exemplifies her undeniable ability to craft sonic worlds that entice, enchant and energise.

Iranian-Dutch multi-disciplinary artist Sevdaliza graces the COLORS stage with an illuminating performance of ‘Gole Bi Goldoon’, a standout single from her critically acclaimed new album ‘Shabrang’. Serving as the first song to ever be performed in Farsi in the COLORS series, the performance makes a bold cultural statement as an homage to one of the most iconic and revolutionary artists from Iran, singer and revolutionary Googoosh.
