Product Information

Product Description

HAREM veers between ethereal, almost New Age-like moments, operatic flurries, percolating dance beats, and some accessible Eastern-flavored exoticism. Through it all, Brightman's Broadway past occasionally pops up, as on her orchestra-accompanied version of the standard "Stranger in Paradise," which is itself based on a classical theme. In fact, the orchestra pops up throughout the album, playing arrangements by former Killing Joke member Jaz Coleman, who's surely ventured as far afield from his origins by this point as Ms. Brightman. In addition to a 14-song collection, recorded at a TV program in Marrakech, there is a bonus DVD, featuring a 30-minute documentary filmed during the making of the album, with exclusive behind-the-scenes footage from the stuio, photoshoot, lots more. Listening to HAREM, it's hard to believe that multifarious pop diva Sarah Brightman first came to fame as a proponent of musical theater (not counting her early stint with dance-pop group Hot Gossip). After going through a number of stylistic shifts over the years, she has arrived at an unusual point where her sound evokes a strange confluence of Charlotte Church, Enya, and Madonna. ...See Full Description

Great!
Sarah Brightman has taken several old songs and presented them in a haunting and provocative manner. One sometimes forgets the original versions and truly enoys her new interpretation. She does not fail to entertain to the fullest.

Harem
This is an excellent Album. To my mind it is Sarah's best ever. Since I am not a music expert, I don't feel able to remark on every song. However, one track in particular comes to mind. It is "Stranger In Paradise", an old song, and one I never liked. I really like the song as done by Sarah. I also really like "Free" and "What You Never Know" Actually I like every piece on this album, which is something that has never happened before.

Sara is simply amazing! Two thumbs up! A+++
Sara is truly the greatest singer in the world today.This cd is amazing to listen to. You will fall in love with her angel voice and her special music. Frank Peterson is the best music writer. What a wonderful surprise to listen to a new song by Ofra Haza. For a minute I though she is alive! Actually, her spirit/memories will always be alive. Anyhow, Sarah, please, please come to L.A.

An artist who shine for her voice
This album is absolutly one of a kind. Sarah has been done to many different things,and Harem is one of them. Im just 16 years old and Im in love with her amasing voice and her abelity as an artist. Mixing old those arabian and clasical sounds, harem takes you to a wonderful journey of talent. Plus her live show, Harem World Tour is amazing too, I already see it in live and its speechless. Just amazing. :)
