Sexy, ethereal, exotic and mysterious. Thanks to RP for introducing me to this album :)

Taken one step farther: the realization that the human voice is simply another instrument; spoken language is only an accent. We don't need to understand the words to understand the emotion it carries.

It is time for me to admit that in the past I have been unintentionally unfair to Middle Eastern artists. That said, I do have entirely Western life experience. This piece, however, is absolutely delightful as an understatement, and I'm not saying that just because that is an absolutely gorgeous young woman, but because the music and the voice touch my heart. I'd love to know what she is singing.

Not that bad. Well produced. Can't say it is overproduced because the even style needs it... and the acoustic version of this song has, IMHO, nothing interesting to offer. But, at the end of the day, the whole track never does magic... like spicy tasteless food.
Nice for a soundtrack. Gave it a 6. I'm quite sure it will be a 5 next time.

A decent analysis even though I disagree.
This is a shimmering, simmering delight.

Now, this I like. Reminds me of the holidays I spent in Egypt diving. Dahab, Sharm El Sheikh, Safaga.. boat dives.. clear skies.. relaxed company.. wonderful food and locals..

Funny to hear comments like this...When you grow up hearing Persian music it sounds perfectly normal but, yea...that's obviously not the norm I need to realize. Vocal control is pretty incredible compared with conventional Western music. All that's missing here is the dancing!

Dancing is right!

Hypnotic, but to my ears lacks dynamic range.

A guy in a life drawing group I pose for, brings her music to play. I love her, though there are other pieces I love far more than this one, I'll take anything by her. I love this type of music!

We listen to RP in my drawing class and my students all love it! We get to hear a little bit of everything.

Must be awkward for the artists to have you shimmying in time to this!

I saw Niyaz about a year ago - a spectacular show. Azam Ali is a lovely soul.

I hate that fading from left to right to left to right...

try it with an attitude adjustment and you might find "hate" is the wrong word for it

Wishing some Persian speaker out there would translate this....

I love the bass line. Would sound right at home next to any track off Massive Attack's Mezzanine.

I would understand this comment (and it's 36 likes?) if it was from @potus but not RP
