LOVE TRAP is the sexy follow-up to Susheela Raman's Mercury Prize-nominated album SALT RAIN. Raman is a native of England, born of South Indian parents, and raised in Australia. Her multi-cultural background enhances her global vision of world music. By bending and reshaping her myriad of musical influences, Raman has recorded a pleasing and erotically charged album of music that pulls from various folk music traditions to create a unique hybrid. "Love Trap" is the most accessible and appealing track on the album. One of the two English-language vocals, "Love Trap" is a sensual, jazzy re-working of a 1970s Ethiopian club hit. Its throbbing beat chugs along while Raman's siren-like vocals beckon and entice the listener into her snare. The album's other seven tracks are sung in various languages, incorporating a myriad of styles, including Tuvan throat singing and the complex wail of India's traditional Carnatic vocals. With the help of producer and guitarist Sam Mills, LOVE TRAP flirts with trip-hop, rock, and electronica while respecting its musical roots. The music pulsates with energy and each musician is given a chance to shine on the album's many instrumental interludes. LOVE TRAP is sophisticated, sexy, and sure to be considered a classic in the career of this rising star.

Love Trap album
 $16.55  
Monsoon Wedding director Mira Nair has described her beautiful family drama as "a Bollywood film, made on my terms." It's a pretty apt description, though on the surface the subtly acted art house picture may seem to have very little in common with the elaborately choreographed musical productions for which the Indian film industry is famous. Whereas Bollywood products ...

Love Trap CD music
$14.45 
The Tunisian oud genius has done it again. Anouar Brahem has issued only five records under his own name over the past decade, each more adventurous than the last, without compromising his original vision: for the music of his region to meet with the other music of Africa and Asia and create a delirious sound that is equal thirds past, present, and future, along the precipice of historical lineage. For Brahem there is no attempt to synthesize the globe, or even the sounds of the East with those of the West. He is content in his knowledge ...

Khaled is the biggest star of Algerian rai, and a global superstar these days. But as his fame increased, the quality of his music declined. The raw, emotive style that made him successful in the first place was smoothed off and he became an international pop icon whose rai was diluted. This time around, he's confounded expectations by making ...

Susheela Raman's third album shows a new dimension to her performances. Previously, she performed largely in an Indian-infused vein with British influences. Now, she has more straightforward pop aesthetics, though with a massive dose of ethnic instrumentation and musical motives thrown in. Her voice is a bit breathier ...

MAYDAY, MAYDAY: COULD WINDOWS CONQUER THIS CARNIVAL?Singer / Songwriter Amanda Somerville ventures from the dark realms of metal into lighter territory with the release of her long-awaited solo album, Windows.OCTOBER 23, 2008 (WOLFSBURG, GERMANY) - Two things might come to mind when you hear of a new album entitled Windows, by Amanda Somerville; a. ) that it's got something to do with Bill Gates, or b. ) that it's a music album in the European symphonic metal genre. Well, that'll be a big, fat, 'No' to both of those. Known for her work in the European metal scene with bands like Epica, Kamelot and Avantasia, Michigan native Amanda Somerville is sticking to her roots in alternative pop / rock with the 12 albeit eclectic tracks of Windows. Fans of Amanda's metal projects won't be surprised by the genre breach, however. 'It's no big secret that I'm not the mega Metal Diva that some people think I am. In interviews and such, I've always stated that I'm more of a pop / rock kind of artist with my solo music. And most metal fans forgive me of that!' laughs Somerville. She goes on to say that Windows was a labor of love that was a long time in coming. 'Since most of my time was spent doing studio work for other bands, Windows has been almost 6 years in the making. That's also partly why the songs are so multi-faceted. I did a lot of evolving in that time period and was certainly influenced by the metal music I was working on. A couple of tracks are even borderline metal. But I'm diverse and it's all still 100% me. 'And a diverse album it is. With catchy pop tracks like 'Mayday' and 'Point of Safe Return' layered with Euro-flavored keys, loops and guitars, listeners might be reminded of Dido, Annie Lennox or maybe even Kelly Clarkson. However, Somerville also grabs a ...
