Sevdaliza's visually sophisticated music videos caught the attention of many international blogs and magazines, with Complex nominating her video for "Sirens of the Caspian" as a top ten video of the year in 2014. This was succeeded by features with Vogue and Alexander Wang, while H&M made her a brand ambassador. Sevdaliza herself describes her music as "raw, strong, and vulnerable", while her stage persona is "everything (the audience) want(s) (her) to be".
Sevdaliza was born in Tehran, Iran in 1987, but moved to the Netherlands at a young age. She left home at 16 on a basketball scholarship and played as part of the Dutch national team. She continued with basketball and her studies, but chose to start making music when she was 24. Not trained to read music or play instruments, she taught herself how to sing and how to use Ableton, drawing on the reserve of discipline that drove her time in sports.
Her debut EP The Suspended Kid was released in January 2015. It was followed by a collaboration with Pussykrew which resulted in an elaborate music video for the album cut "That Other Girl". She was also featured on Paris-based producer Stwo's track "Haunted", providing vocals.
Children of Silk, her second EP, was self-released on November 24, 2015 on Twisted Elegance. It is characterized by a more conceptual approach and darker undertones of self-reflection. A music video for "Marilyn Monroe" was released in March 2016, directed by Hirad Sab, who also designed the cover artwork for the extended play. It received critical acclaim and was featured in various "best of" lists, including a year-end ranking by FACT magazine.
She co-directed and starred in a short film, called The Formula, which was released through Noisey. It features an original soundtrack by Sevdaliza and frequent collaborator Mucky.
Her debut full-length album, titled ISON, was released in April 2017. It includes 16 tracks, among which earlier releases such as "Marilyn Monroe" and "Amandine Insensible", as well as new songs. The album cover features an image of a hyperrealistic sculpture of Sevdaliza by artist Sarah Sitkin.

The lyrics to Sevdaliza's song "Libertine" appear to express the idea of loyalty and the perseverance of love. The repetition of the line "if you fall, I come for you" suggests a willingness to support and protect someone even in their weakest moments - a trait often associated with true love. The use of the word "libertine" in the song title might also suggest a sense of freedom or recklessness, possibly as a metaphor for the risks inherent in love.
The lines "what did he feel / what did you feel" suggest a third party, perhaps someone who has come between the two lovers. The repeated phrase "eyes on every feel" reinforces the idea of being watched and judged from an outside perspective. Despite this potential obstacle, however, the singer remains committed to the object of their affection, promising to come to their aid at any cost.
Overall, the lyrics to "Libertine" suggest a sense of devotion and loyalty that transcends any external challenges or pressures. The emotional tone is one of determination and resilience, conveying the powerful bonds that can be formed through love.

how can you dislike this song? Get off this channel, you are in the presence of greatness! Thank You Sev for such beautiful music. (liked)
@lillianisisaraiya2640
If you take a ton of LSD and listen to this song she has these crazy satanic sounding backmasks that are at a bass level sooooo low you can barely hear it when you are sober. It's so loud it's louder than her voice when you're dosed. It's one of the most insane things I've ever heard anyone do with music. She is fucking talent. One of the most amazing things I've ever experienced. So dark and beautiful.

I heard this album on Acid, I can vouch for this comment. Her music can also get a little scary on LSD!
