| Liraz and Adrian Younge's collaboration is more than music-it's a statement of resilience, a fight for artistic and personal freedom wrapped in the lush textures of Persian tradition and modern innovation. Recorded at Younge's all-analog Linear Labs studio in Los Angeles, the album pulses with raw energy, weaving together deep grooves, cinematic orchestration, and unfiltered emotion. Together, they crafted a sound that bridges eras, blending the spirit of pre-revolutionary Iranian music with bold, contemporary sensibilities. Sung in Farsi, Liraz's powerful vocals continue her fight for freedom for the women of Iran. Adrian Younge's raw orchestration sets the foundation for a bold journey through psychedelic Middle Eastern melodies reminiscent of Iran's rich musical landscape before the 1979 Revolution. Fuzz guitars, kamancheh (a Persian bowed string instrument), and funky bass lines collide to create a groundbreaking soundscape unlike anything ever heard before. With contributions from Iranian musicians, Azadi (Freedom) is a celebration of heritage and artistic liberation, offering a bold, genre-defying experience that transcends cultures. |
