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. 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. Brightman.

2 stars Disappointing
There are a few good numbers but for the most part this album is no way showcases Sarah Brightman's amazing talent. Some of the arrangements are downright boring. Sarah's devotees will want it anyway for the few really good songs but it doesn't compare to Classics, Time to Say Goodbye, Eden or Luna.

4 stars A delightful Listen
I must admit that this is the first album I have ever bought for Sarah Brightman. In fact I just learnt about Sarah November 2005 while checking the Wikipedia website under the category whistle register. As a big fan of singers who possess that rare ability (Minnie Riperton, Deniece Williams, Shanice, Mariah Carey)I became interested to see what she can do. Despite the fact that she on this album did not display that ability for the most part I must confess that I'm delightfully happy that I purchased this album. The blend of Middle Eastern music and classical pop is a wonderful creation. I must give cudos to Sarah and her team for coming up with such a tremendous concept. I would never think of listening Mid-Eastern music and have learnt to appreciate it thanks to Sarah. The lyrics are general in meaning and simple. However, Sarah's sweet caressing voice gently takes you through, making you want more. Sarah is truly an amazing artiste and this musical journey has made me a fan of Sarah and so I am looking forward to buy her earlier works and new ones to come.

5 stars 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.

5 stars 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.

With EDEN, Broadway diva Sarah Brightman ("Requiem," "Cats") stretches beyond the constraints of what's considered show music. Here, she sings an assortment of classical adaptations, rock, and sleek modern pop songs. The entrancing opener, "In Paradisum" combines pre-recorded nature sounds, atmospheric textures, and echoes of Gregorian chant, setting the regal and eclectic mood. "Nella Fantasia" is an adaptation of a tune by movie soundtrack composer Ennio Morricone, with Italian lyrics by Ferrau, and here the exquisite longing in Brightman's ...

Sure, she's as close as you can get to naked in the album artwork. OK, so there's an insert hawking Sarah Brightman calendars, coffee mugs, and sweatshirts. Yes, there's a fair amount of calculation likely in her pop-classical crossover. That doesn't mean the lady can't sing like an angel. Before the embryo-with-pipes known as Charlotte Church came along, Brightman was THE pop-classical singer, whose supernatural pipes allowed her to appeal to both camps with equal verve. CLASSICS proves that, aided by a bevy of orchestras and choirs, Brightman is still big coin in the crossover world. And she's got a lot more traditional operatic chops than little Miss Church to boot. Making her way through old warhorses like "Pie Jesu," "Ave Maria," and "Nessun Dorma," Brightman manages to invest these tracks with new life, and when she takes on the Linda Ronstadt tune "Winter Light" she brings to it an ethereal majesty that leaves ...

Having solidified her DIVA status with the collection of the same name, Sarah Brightman returned in 2008 to reinforce that reputation with SYMPHONY. A dramatic offering that leans in a more rock-oriented direction, the album finds the British classical/pop crossover pairing up with both usual suspects--Andrea Bocelli on "Canto Della Terra"--and unlikely partners--Paul Stanley of Kiss on "I Will Be with You (Where the Lost Ones Go)"--for a fittingly orchestral set. Although the soprano singer is in fine form throughout SYMPHONY, its crowning achievement is arguably the closing number, "Running," which achieves a cinematic sweep ...

Manyfingers (aka multi-instrumentalist Chris Cole) emerged out of the shady and mysterious Bristol scene that spawned the likes of Flying Saucer Attack, Movietone, Third Eye Foundation and Amp. Previously best known as Third Eye Foundation luminary Matt Elliott’s right hand man, cellist and drinking buddy, Cole has also been a sometime member of legendary pastoralists Movietone as well as being the current drummer of the excellent post rock band Soeza. Cole's relative obscurity is set to change with the release of his full length debut album Our Worn Shadow, a magnificently ambitious multi layered gem of a record. He plays piano, drums, cello, Spanish guitar, accordion, vibraphone and other assorted instruments to create a veritable whirlwind of sound. The record takes its cue from the Fourtet of Pause and Rounds ...

“For those immersed in the vastness of darkness, we are a glimmer of light- this is Positive Energy…”Prophecy, aka Derrick Dolphin, has many titles- youth development specialist, advocate, executive producer, poet, and Emcee; no matter what role he is in, his priority is to promote positive youth development. Through his work, and now his music, Prophecy’s debut album Positive Energy, with his lyrical partner in rhyme –DUB Colossus (Errill Nelson), speaks creativity, soul and positivity to young people on a global platform. The duo is a long established New York City performance group, previously signed to an RCA Records subsidiary –Grovetown Records, the pair garnered rave reviews throughout the city for the last decade as front men for the eclectic live hip-hop collective “Primordial Source.” In 2000, Prophecy relocated to the Nation’s Capitol where he began working with a youth advocacy firm. There he assisted in the establishment of Alive and Free Records (AFR), a small independent label focused on the creation of urban music that promotes life, freedom and future economic opportunity. ...
