Musician Aamir Rizvi pays tribute to all genres that shaped his understanding in his new album

In the essence of timing, I have paid tribute to all the genres that have shaped me into the musician I am today—funk, RnB, soul, Indie-Pop, and some jazz. Track it feels so good is about enjoying the little things in life, while emergency contact is a jam-centric song about how we all have an emergency contact on our cells, but are they worthy of being one?

The album is almost four years old. I wrote everywhere I go and my green tea in 2021 and 2022 respectively. I knew that they were going to make it into a record of mine at some point. When they had been composed, it was just on a guitar, and there was really little vision with the songs. But as I progressed in my career and entered the study of Jazz music, I got really fascinated with the sound of a saxophone on one of my records. Even with it feels so good, the tune was composed on a piano, which is something I had never thought would happen.

Familiarity is a bubble I no longer want to be a part of. I want to be genre- fluid and learn during the process. For these reasons, I didn’t look at the recording process as familiar or experimental. I just knew I wanted to create a record that did not sound like me from before. I want people to hear this record and actually question if this is Aamir Rizvi’s album.

I have never thought about the charts. I wanted to record an album because I feel that after six years of being a musician, this is where I am in my life. To want to record an album, to go on tour, to come back, rest, and get back to recording the second volume of this very album.
