Haale, from New York but of Iranian descent, crafts uniquely engaging music that combines progressive rock sensibilities (if there are such things) with traditional Persian style. Her debut, No Ceiling hits shelves March 18. The title track — an interesting juxtaposition of ethereal vocals, orchestral strings, and traditional percussion — and “Chenan Mastam” are posted below for listening and download.
