SEVDALIZA x 032c

selected works

Dutch-Iranian musician Sevdaliza views herself as “a messenger.” Motivated by dissembling misconceptions of womanhood and the Middle Eastern experience, she draws on elements of contemporary nihilism and compounds them with the supernatural in both videos and tracks that span a multitude of genres.

These have likened her to Homogenic era Bjork, Siouxsie and the Banshees’ “Dazzle,” Portishead’s trip-hop, and even Alicia Keys in deeper cuts, but comparison and categorization are futile, as Sevdaliza moves seamlessly between alternative R&B, avant-pop, electronic, and gabber.
