A 16-track opus from the Iranian-born, Dutch-raised singer.

Last November, following a string of singles and EPs going back to 2012, Sevdaliza announced that her debut album would arrive this year – and today, she Beyoncéd it with no warning.

Ison, released on Sevdaliza’s own Twisted Elegance label, is as lush, meditative and carefully crafted a work as you might expect from an artist who has been so meticulous about her aesthetic to date. It comes with a full album visual, courtesy of fellow Iranian-born digital artist and long-time collaborator Hirad Sab, in which the ISON cover art – a handcrafted mask of Sevdaliza’s head, by sculptor Sarah Sitkin – is morphed in distorted in slow motion as the album progresses.

Watch the ISON visual and find the tracklist below.
