Summary: This is a great album
Comment: Every song on here is a hit. Not one would classify as "filler."
This album does not lack for romantic, alluring, and yet moving songs blending both Arabic elements and modern sounds. Haifa has a great voice for this style of music. I also love the instrumental arrangements for this music -- Arab music and modernity don't seem to have a problem melding together at all, and on this album, the subdued yet sensual Arabic sounds work so well for both beautiful and danceable music.
There are also hints of Flamenco and some nice choral arrangements as well.

Summary: For non-music snobs, fun to dance to.
Comment: So Haifa's music is fun to dance to and if you're not a snob, i.e. someone who cares more about so-called "talent" than the music itself, I can see why it wasn't liked that much. So anyway, anyone who likes catchy music you might like Haifa, because she's catchy and upbeat.

Summary: good looks and hot vocals
Comment: well she is not Barbara S, but she is the perfect POP package: hotter than any current POP star, a sexy voice, and some catchy tunes.

Summary: Not a work of art but...
Comment: If it were for looks she would have scored 5 stars! The ex model, beauty pageant and now turning actress/singer almost impresses the Arab world with this offering. The album is not amazing, nor is it a work of art but a pleasant piece of work. Haifa does not have a powerful voice and on several occasions in this CD she's not really singing and her voice even sounds uncordinated. Nonetheless, professional studio mixing and production cleans up Haifa's blemishes. If you're looking for Arabic trance/dance/techno or wondered if it ever existed then here it is! Nonetheless, even though the album maintains a western influence it still maintains an oriental zest. The best tracks are: Agoul Ahwak, Ma Sar, Kalouli Annou, Huwa el Zaman and Salim Halek. And just for the hell of it please note that Badi ou ma Badi's introduction is taken from ex-All Saint, Melanie Blatt's 24/7.
