Product Description
From Amazon.com
It's quite extraordinary how Natacha Atlas can seamlessly combine so many languages and genres. On Something Dangerous, while singing in Arabic, Hindi, English and French, she draws her musical backing from drum & bass, Parisian vaudeville, R&B, ambient dance, pop, rap and film music, and never once do her sonic movements feel remotely gratuitous. Indeed, every track here is of the highest quality. In this, she's undoubtedly aided by a stellar guest list. Atlas is more than ready to step back and leave room for a love-hungry rap from Princess Julianna ("Just like a Dream"), some punchy positivist soul from Niara Scarlett ("Who's My Baby") and an insistent lament from Sinead O'Connor ("Simple Heart"). Add to these the grand orchestrations of Jocelyn Pook, the wacky Gem keyboards of Gamal Awad and the mournful trumpet of the late Sami El Babli, plus the efforts of Jah Wobble, Count Dubulah and Transglobal Underground and you have a collection that never veers from the classy. As a round-the-world excursion, Something Dangerous has more in common with Peter Gabriel at his coffee-table easiest than with the wild wanderings of Kate Bush. Nevertheless, for those who like their chill-out music to rise above the bland, there's much here to enjoy. --Dominic Wills
Chronique amazon.fr
Suite au succès de Ayeshteni où Natacha Atlas convoquait les fantômes de Jacques Brel "Ne me quitte pas" et de Screamin' Jay Hawkins "I Put A Spell on You" dans sa rituelle danse du ventre, la chanteuse a posé ses 7 voiles. Cette transformation, annoncée en 2002 par l’album Foretold In The Language Of Dreams inspiré des pensées spirituelles de G.I Gurdjieff et de Paolo Coelho, aboutit à un son moins chargé de drum’n’bass. Élaboré par une flopée de producteurs dont Brian Higgins (Sugababes), Andy Gray (Perfecto) et Mike Nielsson (Underworld), suppléé par quelques musiciens d’envergure comme Jah Wobble ou Sinead O'Connor, Something Dangerous débute par une mélopée interprétée par l’orchestre symphonique de Prague, aussi intemporelle que sa collaboration avec le compositeur de musique de films, David Arnold. Son héritage musical, toujours saupoudré de ce beat aux influences dub, expérimenté jadis avec Transglobal Underground, donne à ses complaintes un caractère quasi hypnotique ; complaintes cette fois-ci mêlées de R’n’B "Who’s My Baby", chantées en français "Quand je ferme les yeux", ou extraites du répertoire de James Brown "Man’s World". Envoûtant. --Sabrina Silamo

Just as good, just different.,
By koldflow "kel_zo" (Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Something Dangerous (Audio CD)
The album may be very different than all the others, but it is played over and over just as all the others have and I've owned it about a year now; I can always rely on this artists albums to be a great listen. Natacha Atlas must know she has pretty steady & loyal following in the U.S., but none of her past albums were accomondating if you will in that it was more about the enchantment of the arabic style then about the lyrics, at least for me because I don't speak or understand arabic. One of her albums goes so far as to offer the translation of the arabic lyrics which made the album all the more meaningful to me. I am a fan of this album given that the artist is choosing to try and diverge her style with a little R&B, bring in a few guest vocals, and try something risky, be a little different; which every artist is entitled to do. Her contributions to transglobal underground have been astounding and I have enjoyed every album, each is different. I strongly recommend this album and all the others.

oriental pop music,
By Sinitta (Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Something Dangerous (Audio CD)
This is the first Natacha Atlas album I bought and I like it much. It's oriental pop music and if you like Ofra Haza or Sertab, then you might like this album too. It makes me wanna buy more Natacha music :)

Another Talented Singer Bites The Dust,
By A Customer
This review is from: Something Dangerous (Audio CD)
The never-ending attack of McMusic and McCulture have claimed another victim. Atlas used to be an interesting blend of Middle Eastern grooves and Techno beats. Now, she has merged with that boring R&B pseudo-cool trash that is force-fed to the denizens of McWorld in every chain-store, fast-food eatery, and McParty in the West. Too bad, Ms. Atlas, you used to be interesting, but now, you are dull as dish water.
