Sevdaliza

Equally fluent in the languages of sound and imagery, this Iran-born Dutch artist is peerless on the European music scene. Her music, at times mesmerizingly beautiful, at others impenetrable yet fascinatingly experimental, has drawn critical comparisons to trip-hop and Björk, though Sevdaliza marches to the beat of her own drummer. But the Björkian references are not entirely unwarranted, especially when you consider the intriguing and inspiring visuals that accompany Sevdaliza’s electronic explorations of identity and femininity.
