5.0 out of 5 stars The voice of an angel..., April 15 2004

By

"littlenesha" (Norman, OK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ofra Haza (Audio CD)

Ofra Haza has(or HAD) the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. Truly the voice of an angel. I have just recently become interested in her music after finding out that it's her voice on that Paula Abdul song I've always liked(My love is for real). I always thought it was Paula who sang that background part & I wondered why she always sounded so boring in every other song but so good in this one! No wonder, it was Ofra singing, not Paula(no offense Paula, you're still great).

My favorite song of Ofra's is probably either Im Nin Alu or Gavriel. I love to sing along with her when I'm driving, I'm sure many people have gotten a good laugh hearing me belt out Hebrew 80's music! I am truly amazed by the clarity & timbre of her voice, and the ridiculously wonderful control she had over it. Her singing really does give me chills.

In a way I feel close to her b/c I have been told I resemble her. I can definitely see it, we have similar features & the same coloring. I'm Middle Eastern as well(Egyptian, not Israeli though). It is SO sad that she is dead now. Why couldn't it have been Britney Spears or someone other worthless tramp who can't sing?! The world lost its best singer 4 years ago with Ofra's death.

This review is from: Ofra Haza (Audio CD)

This is really a wonderful album. Ofra of course sings well and all her songs are very comforting and heartfelt. To me this is even better than "Shaday". It's a shame that she lost her popularity in Germany when this album came out, because if people had given her constant attention, this album would surely have been played more often on the radio. A great last album for Ofra.

4.0 out of 5 stars An over-produced pop album, Feb 2 2003

By

Gregory Olsen "renaissance man" (San Ramon, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Ofra Haza (Audio CD)

Unfortunately, this offering from Ofra Haza does not compare to Kirya or My Soul. There is too much of a mainstream European pop flavor to this album (heavy thumping base, synthesizers, heavy tripple-tracking of the vocals). Gone is the Yemeni style percussion that was so characteristic of her other offerings (other than Shirei Moledet 1,2, and 3)

That being said, the album is worth buying for the song, "Sixth Sense" - one of the most beautiful she ever recorded.
