Listen to Sevdaliza’s Powerful Ode to Motherhood “Hero”
Sevdaliza‘s debut album ISON is one of our most anticipated albums of 2017, and the Iranian-born, Netherlands-based artist just shared another stunning track from the project.
Over a gorgeous electronic backdrop that blooms into rumbling flourishes after an understated intro, Sevdaliza explores the complicated relationship that exists between mother and child. After the gift of life is given through birth, feelings of rejection and unwantedness can obscure a loving relationship, while the idea of a mother as a “hero” remains—an emotion that Sevdaliza conveys beautifully through carefully-chosen, poetic lyrics.
Sevdaliza shared the song on Wednesday afternoon with the following description: “Remember how life was given to you / By the grace of your mother’s womb / It called you to become conscious.”
