Harem album Product Description



Harem album by Sarah Brightman was released Jun 10, 2003 on the Angel 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. Harem music CDs 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. 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.   ...See Full Description

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.

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.

Friggin outstanding
Not being that familiar with Sarah, I stumbled across her on a PBS special. This is the music I have been waiting for. To describe it would be to add a mix of Loreena McKennitt, Sting's desert rose, a dash of Yanni (don't laugh), and a sprinkle of fantasy inspired by Arabian Nights (the classic movie) with a smooth transition back and forth between pop, opera and Bollywood (really a better mix than I can write words for). This disk will be in my player for quite some time.

That's Sarah for ya!
Sarah Brightman is famous for having a uniquely and extremely beautiful voice. She is also well known for her eclectic repertory. Well this time Sarah has returned to pop after having ventured into rock (her album titled "Fly") and classical (TTSG, Eden, La Luna), and boy is this deliciously tasty pop! At first I did not enjoy Harem too much because I was getting used to Sarah's trademark "classical slant" repertoire, and was measuring it against those 3 albums. However when I stopped trying to think of it as an album succeeding the classical albums and started to view it as a new pop-genre effort, I began to enjoy Harem more and more with each listen. Each track is wonderful, from the dance/techno feel of "Harem", "The Journey Home" and "Mysterious Days" to the lyrical "What You Never Know", "Stranger in Paradise", and "Until the End of Time". There are also some selections that have a most gorgeous choir background, specifically the tracks "Free" and "Misere Mei"-"Beautiful". The Renaissance period sounding choruses along with the soaring melodies and Sarah's beautiful voice make those pieces two of the most touching in the entire album. I really don't have much more to say as the beauty of the melodies is too great for words. The Arabian theme is excellent in my opinion and each piece really does exude the mysteriousness and magic of that area of the Earth. One must remember that the real paradise of Eden was originally in the Middle East. Just keep in mind that this is an all-pop album so listen to it a few more times (especially if you've gotten accustomed to the "clasical Sarah") before you judge it. Chances are you'll fall in love with the music just as I have.
