Soha - D'ici Ou D'ailleurs

2008 re-issue now comes with three enhanced videos. Debut album from this French vocalist of Algerian descent. Soha's sound incorporates reggae, Latin, Algerian, and Jazz - she truly is a girl of her time, knowing no boundaries other than the limit of her imagination. The result is a fantastic album that feels so much more than just the sum of these parts. There is no sense of trying items from a shopping list on for size - instead she has incorporated these influences into her soul and her music is a natural expression of this. Like all gifted musicians, Soha has assimilated a diverse range of influences but comes out the other side sounding wholly original. This diverse, constantly surprising album, will undoubtedly be one of the year's best. EMI.
