Her album Night Reign will be released May 31.

...if you peruse the credits closely, you’ll spot a casual Elvis Costello feature, playing the Wurlitzer on “Last Night Reprise.”
Costello became a fan after finding Vulture Prince during a period of grieving; he reached out to Aftab and the two quickly became friends: “He’s the cutest, sweetest person,” Aftab says. “Whenever I hang out with him, I’m low-key still freaking out, but he’s such a good guy and it’s nice to see the normalcy in people.”

Since you put me down, it seems i've been very gloomy. You may laugh but pretty girls look right through me.

Night Rein is filled with enthralling collaborations, but one on “Last Night Reprise” nearly didn’t happen. When Elvis Costello — an admirer of Aftab’s previous album, Vulture Prince — dropped by the studio, it was naturally suggested that he contribute somewhere. But there was no guitar to be found.
“The stupid fucking studio didn’t even have a Strat or something,” remembers Aftab. “But they had a Wurlitzer. And I was like, ‘You wanna give the Wurly a whirl?’ And he was like, ‘Yeah, okay, I have some ideas.’ So we sat him down at the Wurlitzer and he just kind of plunked out these chords in these really great little places. He just touched the Wurlitzer, like, five times in the song and it was so good. I was like, ‘Yeah, that is a really good idea, Elvis.’”
