The fourth single to be released from her debut album titled ‘Mitti’ (‘Mitti’ being Urdu, for ‘earth/soil’), ‘Exile to Space’ is a soundscape with a hybrid Ethnic-Chillout-Blues-Rock sound. Pre-order here.
‘Exile to Space’ has a mystical-cum-empowered mood to it, as the English and Urdu lyrics mingle with each other. Whereas the English lyric speaks of the relationship with her Beloved and the qualities of both merging into a oneness; the Urdu lyric (excerpts from her poem, titled ‘Faqeer’ (‘Mystic’)) declares an almost royal sense of liberation discovered while being in ‘exile’ (‘jilawatni’, in Urdu). This exile is a state of being, not a physical banishment, but an emotional/spiritual escape into a parallel-universe where she found freedom and yearns for enlightenment.
