Shida Shahabi - Living Circle

It was with Homes, in 2018, that we fixed her name in our memory, but we would have to wait until 2023 for a second album by Shida Shahabi to confirm all suspicions and desires: Living Circle opened up an immense world of music, and above all, a rare spectrum of emotions and feelings, where a classic narrative is immersed in experimental trepidations, with acoustic ideas in harmony with electronics, drones, and abstract landscapes.

Between rationality and emotion, Shida Shahabi has no choice, telling us that “we need both to enjoy art”. Because nothing happens by chance: born in Stockholm of Iranian descent, her growth was nurtured between Persian pop from the 1970s and classical canons, giving her the extremes of everything that music could be for her, but she confesses that it was the joy of singing and listening to music with parents who created their relationship with the art of music.

Perhaps it is this connection that lives in her compositions that makes her equally a gifted artisan of music for cinema, dance, or theatre; perhaps it is this contagion that leaves us with the masterpiece she brings us.
