LOVE EVOLVE is Shahram Shiva's latest album of transformative songs. It features new original lyrics by Shahram Shiva, in addition to some of his favorite Rumi songs.
Blending elements of rock, dance, groove based, trip-hop, ambient, electronic and acoustic with the hypnotic voice of Shahram Shiva, this beautiful and unusual album is an anthem for progressive minds and spirits that yearn to constantly evolve and an empowering experience of love, beauty, freedom, self acceptance, wisdom and joy.
Shahram Shiva began the LOVE EVOLVE project with a very specific vision of a mixed-genre album. Love Evolve includes 10 songs (5 original lyrics and 5 Rumi songs) and features several musical disciplines, including rock (Control, Love Evolve), acoustic (This is Enlightenment), groove based (Love's Touch, Be Guiltless, Light + Dark = One), dance (No Religion, Dance Universe), hip hop (Go Back to Sleep) and ambient (I Have Come to Shine).
