Arooj Aftab has announced a deluxe edition of her album Vulture Prince. The new expanded double LP pressing is out June 24 via Verve. Today, she’s shared the added track “Udhero Na,” which features Anoushka Shankar. Listen to the new song below.
“‘Udhero Na’ has been one of my dearest songs, written in 2005 and never released, played live on and off over the years,” Aftab said in a statement. “I’ve always held it close to my heart and am so happy to release it finally! It describes a very unique and fleeting emotional moment, a super underrated feeling. When the thought of someone from a very old and ‘passed’ relationship just pops into your head as you go about your present day to day.”
Aftab is nominated for Best New Artist and, for “Mohabbat,” Best Global Music Performance at the 2022 Grammy Awards.
