Harem album Product Description
Harem album by Sarah Brightman was released Jun 29, 2004 on the EMI Music Distribution label. 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). Harem CD music 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. Given the "Arabian Nights" sub-theme of the album, you might even throw in a little "Desert Rose"-era Sting as well. HAREM veers between ethereal, almost New Age-like moments, operatic flurries, percolating dance beats, and some accessible Eastern-flavored exoticism.

| -Amazing- I love this album. It's such a different sound yet so Sarah at the same time. By a reviewer (Huntsville, AL, USa) This review is for a different format. |
| BEAUTIFUL & DIFFERENT SOUND FOR THE ANGEL OF MUSIC Sarah Has Done it again! After La Luna I thought it could not be done again. At the first listen of this cd it is different from the classic and show voice of Sarah but ever so beautiful. The music is inspiring & uplifting. Sweet & Seductive in entrances you into her harem world. By Jennifer (Atlantic City,NJ) This review is for a different format. |
| 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. By claddagh5 (Bayonne, New Jersey, USA)  This review is for a different format. |
| Awesome Job! This is by far Sarah's best album. I love Middle Eastern music so when I looked up my favorite singer Natacha Atlas, it said she was a backing vocal to this CD. I listened to it and it was amazing. I now own Harem and it will never be traded in. By Mitchell Kissack (Dover, NH, USA) This review is for a different format. |
| 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.
