Qasr is the debut mini-album from American-Indian artist Sheherazaad, released by Erased Tapes Records in 2024. Blurring the lines between jazz, folk, world, and country, Sheherazaad crafts spacious arrangements paired with deeply poetic storytelling, offering a vivid reflection on themes of migration and identity. Produced by Arooj Aftab, the album is cinematic in scope, filled with intricate orchestrations and evocative vocals that unveil new layers with each listen.
This striking release stands out for its fearless abandonment of genre, weaving together influences from classical guitar, flamenco, gypsy jazz, and more into a uniquely textured soundscape. Across five tracks, Qasr explores everything from the pitfalls of fame to nostalgia and mythical narratives, creating a listening experience that is both moving and frequently surprising. A testament to Sheherazaad’s artistic vision, this album is a compelling addition for anyone drawn to boundary-pushing world music.
