Customer Reviews

Great song. Great Price, domestic U.S. release!!
I first heard the song "Youm Wara Youm (habibi)" (Day after Day) in a night club in Madrid Spain. It took me 3 days of intense asking and searching to find out who the performing artist was. The song has a mid-tempo R&B rythm track and then the dueto arabic vocals are gorgeous. I dont speak a word of arabic and I loved the song. The chorus is infectious.
The better surprise was, that when I came back to the U.S., I was able to buy the CD domestic release for less than $10 dollars. Great job from Mondo Melodia for releasing this. It would be great if MTV and radio started playing it too.
We shouldnt ignore great music just because its in a different language.

Eclectic sounds appealing to all. Very highly recommended!
This has got to be the most musically diverse Arabic pop album out there. The music ranges from Rai to Arabic pop to Arabic-style Hip Hop, Soul and R&B. The vocals are enchanting and Samira's performance is at its pinnacle. I was pleasantly surprised when I listened to this refreshing album. To me, it represents a milestone in the production of Arabic music for that it mixes very new sounds with old ones and in the process creating a new definition of what the new Arabic pop albums should sound like. Samira took a risk with this album and it totally paid off.

I love every single track on this album. Each track is very unique and will get to you in no time. It's versatility to please different musical tastes makes it worthy of the 5 stars.

If you are new to Arabic music, I recommend getting this album to get a feel of how Arabic music will sound in the next 10 years. If you are looking for traditional Arabic music, then this album is not for you. It's definitely influenced by Western and North African music more than traditional Arabic music.

Highlights: Youm Wara Youm, Ezzay Aheb, Allah Yesahillak, Koll El Awkaat and Layali Zaman (has a Michael Jackson beat to it).

Simply Fantastic!
I am an American that doesn't understand a word of what she's saying, but the voice, music, and emotion in her singing is perfect. I LOVE this album! We all need to reach beyond our own boundaries and "comfort zones" so we can truly embrace all the glorious talent in this world!!!
