Nabihah Iqbal
Weighing of the Heart
This debut solo album from British producer Nabihah Iqbal may not sound like 80s electronic pioneers and innovators The Art of Noise, but that vibe is there on a pretty intense level. Do you remember the scene in Beverly Hills Cop where Axel F goes to an art gallery with an employee by the name of Serge, portrayed perfectly by Bronson Pinchot? Remember the art pieces, including a dining room table, seated with plain white mannequins, with spinning heads on it and other 80s flashiness? Yeah it's that kind of awesome 80s art. Well this sounds like the music that should be playing in that gallery. You must be intrigued, yeah? Give Ms. Iqbal a shot, you just may dig it.
