Nine Heavens (Persian: نه بهشت, Noh behešt) is the second album of Iranian music group Niyaz, an acoustic electronic project. It was released on June 24, 2008 on Six Degrees Records. [2]
The album is divided into 2 discs. [3] One is the electronic version of the album, while the second disc presents eight of the songs as acoustic versions with the exception of "Iman", which is mostly an electronic/ambient piece and features no acoustic instruments but includes Azam Ali's vocals. Many of the track titles were revealed on site of the band's label. [4]
Nine Heavens reached #4 in the Billboard Top World Albums chart. [5]
"Beni beni" is based on an 18th-century Turkish Sufi folk song.
"Ishq" and "Tamana" are based on ghazal by Khwaja Mir Dard.
The words to "Iman" are drawn from two ruba'iyat by different authors: Mirza Salamat Ali Dabir and Maulana Altaf Hussain Hali.
"Molk-e-Divan" is based on the ghazal Khiz tâ bâde dar pyâle konim by Sufi poet Khâju-ye Kermâni (خواجوی کرمانی) with a few alterations [1], and "Sadrang" draws the lyrics from works by Amir Khusrow (امیر خسرو دهلوی), a 13th-century mystic and poet who, like Niyaz's vocalist Azam Ali, was a Persian raised in India.
The songs of "Nine Heavens" were played in several episodes of HBO's television series True Blood.
The song "Beni, Beni" was played in episode 7 of ABC's television series Missing (2012). [6]
