There’s an air of enchantment as Indo-American artist Sheherazaad beckons on her new song “Dhund Lo Mujhe,” the second single off her just-announced mini-album Qasr. The five-track album, produced by Pakistani artist Arooj Aftab, arrives on March 1st via U.K. independent label Erased Tapes.

Suitably atmospheric and featuring strings and percussion by Runar Blesvik and Egyptian violinist Basma Edrees, “Dhund Lo Mujhe” is the follow-up to the Brooklyn/India-based artist’s debut on Erased Tapes with “Mashoor” in October last year. In 2020, Sheherazaad released her previous project Khwaabistan which was what caught Aftab – a Grammy winner for her song “Mohabbat” in 2022 and Grammy nominee for “Udhero Na” in 2023, plus the collaborative Love In Exile this year.
