Bahhaj Taherzadeh, the Persian-Irish singer-songwriter now based in Chicago, is about to release his first album in eight years. Days Outside Of Time, the follow-up to 2016’s Everything Behind Us Is A Dream, features contributions from Glen Hansard and producer Will Stratton. And on opening track “Lights Over London,” out today, Taherzadeh brings two more noteworthy names into the fold.

The song, a gorgeously plaintive ballad in a traditional Irish folk style, is graced by Joan Shelley’s voice and piano from Rachel Grimes of Rachel’s. “I don’t know how it started/ I don’t know how it ends,” Taherzadeh and Shelley sing. “Lights over London/ Swans on the Thames/ You’ve come a long way/ Time and time again.”
