Jilah Bakhshayesh who takes lead vocal on the superb title track & plays
violin & kamanche” **** Rock n Reel

represented within the contemporary roots oeuvre of musician Aidan Jolly who
is based in the city. The poetic lyricism is undeniable. Starkly different
songs do a fine thought provoking job on this topic" - 8/10

a good song" - Maverick

writes and sings with great passion and I found this album quite riveting.
Ms Bakhshayesh's spine-chilling performance on the title track is outstanding,

immensely accomplished product, especially so for a debut singer-songwriter.
