Qur’an Shaheed’s debut album, Pulse, is a bold sonic experiment across ambient sonic terrains. With this record, Shaheed – a pianist, poet, and vocalist from Pasadena, based in Inglewood – fuses formal classical training with a deep commitment to improvisation. Guided by spurts of instinctual, jazzy vocalization and lyrics that incant dreams of an exalted future, Pulse transcends genre, capturing a journey toward presence, revelation, and a liberated poetics of sound.
