Norwegian-Iranian artist, Amanda Delara, released her debut album, “Shahrazad,” on November 10, 2023, marking a significant milestone in her musical career. The album is influenced by Persian cultural elements and explores themes of identity and culture.
Delara’s debut album dropped just before a sold-out tour in Norway, where she showcases her distinctive vocals and dynamic performances, underscoring her growing popularity within the Norwegian music scene. In December 2023, Delara performed at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert, in Oslo, adding to her list of notable achievements.
Her album includes nine tracks, one of which is a cover of the renowned Iranian singer Dariush’s song “Cheshme Man”. In the song “Unbound” she also sings in Persian, using lyrics from Faramarz Aslani’s well-known song “Age Ye Rooz”, along with other verses in both English and Persian.
“Shahrazad” serves as a proof to Delara’s evolving artistry and her ability to address different audiences through her music. As she continues to receive praise both locally and internationally, Delara appears as a promising talent in the musical landscape.
