ずいぶんまえになるが。もともとは、この1枚の写真にやられてしもた。つーか完全に異物感をプンプンさせててチビりそうになった。昨年のビデオ大賞が、これ。オランダ・アムステルダムのトリップホップウーマン。SEVDALIZA。31才。Electronica alternative R&B triphop experimental avant-pop

今年、デビューアルバム「ISON」をリリースしアルバムデビューを果たす。矢継ぎ早にEP「THE CALLING EP」を発表して。東京品川で来日公演。

SEVDALIZA - HUMAN

This feeling
Makes you feel grande
Yet this same feeling
Makes me feel small
Don’t oblige me what to feel
If I don’t feel it at all
You ask me how I feel
Yet close your eyes
To truth be told
Behold..

Whatever it is you demand of me
My love for this world
My love personally
Is larger than life
This is my story

“In protest of the inhumane political climate, I could not rest my head in privilege. I wrote ‘Bebin’ in Farsi, to solidify. I stand strong with love. In this case I choose to avoid mainstream media, because I have no interest in part taking in a victimized concept. As I will not be able to travel to the United States for indefinite duration, take this without lights, camera, action. I am solely a messenger. In the brain of love, there is no place for racism nor bigotry.” -Sevdaliza

オランダ在住だが。エキセントリックなイラン人。「イラン人」という重い政治的宿命を背負って政治的メッセージを重く込めた鉛のようなトリップホップ音楽のような気がした。

デビューアルバムでは発表を見送ってたかのような・・・デビューアルバムののち、宿命的な作品群が控えの間から次から次へと登場。

そして今年のなつ。彼女が「イラン人」的「覚醒」を惹起してもうた。おどろくほど超絶的なシャーマンの世界観であ~る。圧巻。こわすぎ。長いし・・・、しんどい。圧巻。ぜんぶ見るのは嫌だな。

Shahmaran; You Promised Us Paradise

★ちなみに圧巻はアカンのダジャレです

というわけで。1年まえを蒸し返してみた。
