Azam Ali Speaks On Her Album, "Phantoms"

In a career which spans over fifteen years and includes two prestigious Canadian JUNO Award nominations, Azam Ali has confirmed her place as being one of the most prolific, versatile and gifted singers and composers on the international stage today. Like the concept behind her new album, "Phantoms," she herself embodies this amalgamate nature. A singer, songwriter, producer, and sound sculptor, the transcontinental sonic architect crafts darkly alluring songs built around electronic textures and rhythms. Her first album sung completely in English, Ali is responsible for every facet of "Phantoms"—she composed every song, programmed all the instrumentation, sang every note, and produced the entire album, a rarity in the male-dominated realm of electronic music.
