Album Notes & Community Reviews

Winning prestigious French music awards, Natacha Atlas masterfully fused traditional Middle Eastern vocal stylings with highly contemporary British electronic production on 'Gedida'[cite: 1]. The remarkably lush album skillfully balances rhythmic Arabic pop arrangements with the deep, atmospheric bass frequencies of 1990s trip hop and downtempo music[cite: 1].
