Excellent, Upbeat, Energetic Pop/Rock Female Vocal CD,
By A Customer
This review is from: Temptations (Audio CD)
After several listenings I realized that Temptations is avery very good female vocal pop/rock CD. If you like good mainstream pop/rock songs, catchy melodies and superior female vocals you will like Temptations. In other words it is easy for the mainstream listener to like. With so many other CD's having just one or two good tunes, there is not a single bad song on Temptations. They are all good, and you will like them even more with repeated listenings. The melodies are very pleasing, the songs are well constructed by Bezalel Aloni and the quality of the singing is far better than Stevie Nicks, and better even than Madonna. Ofra Haza's powerful, clean, clear, beautifully soaring voice graces every selection. This is mostly an upbeat, energetic album, and some of the songs are especially good: "Hello Happiness," "Summer," "Gavriel," "Magic Queen," and the mood setting slower paced "Cry Over the Flower." Be aware though that unlike most of Haza's other albums several tunes on Temptations including the Title track "rock" with substantial electric guitar work, but it is all tastefully arranged by master songwriter Bezalel Aloni, and is not overdone. Overall great stuff.

I Shouldn't have Trusted the Other Reviews,
By Maraich (PHOENIX, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Temptations (Audio CD)
I most of Ofra Haza's other albums, and like them quite a bit. My dislike of this album rises from the cheesy sounding, tinny music. I like older pop, like Abba, as some reviewers compared this album to, but this thing sounds primitive by comparison. I was seriously disappointed and no longer am surprised that this CD didn't make it to the U.S.

Ten Tastefuly Tempting Tunes Are Tops,
By A Customer
This review is from: Temptations (Audio CD)
This Rock/Pop album is one of the verybest from the 1980's, even though it was never released in the United States, and was not available until recently as an import. "Temptations" has more good songs than any of four Abba albums I have heard, and it is at least on a par with the best albums from Stevie Nicks. "Temptations" combines superior rock/pop compositions with Ofra's powerful, crystal clear voice, and the result is very satisfying and entertaining. This is mainstream rock/pop, easy for the western listener to enjoy even upon a first listening. With the possible exception of "Summer", the songs are much more influenced by western rock/pop than by middle eastern music. Most of the songs sound as good as the best songs of Abba but without being an imitation. All ten songs on this album are solid and satisfying. The songs are so good, it is not important that the lyrics are not in English. The album was a smash hit overseas in the 1980's. It deserves to be discovered by the American rock/pop audience. If you like Abba or Stevie Nicks, or Fleetwood Mac you will love Ofra Haza's "Temptations". "Temptations" is a GEM.
