5.0 out of 5 stars A unique musical sound, March 12, 2008

This review is from: Arash (Audio CD)

Ocassionally, I actually enjoy some of my daughter's music and Arash is no exception. I must admit that I have only heard one track from this particular album, however, I certainly enjoyed his other album entitled 'Temptation' (this is available on the sister site Amazon.uk).

I am told that Arash is of Iranian extraction but his family emigrated to Sweden. Perhaps his ethnic roots may not be prefered in America in view of the current political tension. This may account for the fact that he is so underrated this side of the Atlantic, even though his contribution to the pop music scene there would be something special and unprecedented. His sound is a unique blend of pop and Eastern styles (I avoid the word 'Bollywood' due to its ambivalent and sometimes pejorative connotations). Even though he sings mostly in his own native Farsi tongue, the female vocals featured in the duets with Arash are invariably in English. The best example is the breathtakingly beautiful Rebecca (Zagid) with whom he performed the amazing duet 'Temptation'. Rebecca's own style complements Arash perfectly. Not only does she dance and move gracefully, but she has a natural feel for this rhythmic and melodic sound. For a video clip of 'Temptation' and other fantastic performances by them such as 'Mitarsam' visit the Youtube site.

I learned about Arash when entering class in 2010 to learn Farsi. One of my instructors played a song of his and we listened and tried to translate what he was singing to help our listening skills grow. After one song, I decided to Youtube his other songs and see if I liked them equally as much....needless to say I did! I love his voice and the mixture of pop and ethnic beats. I wish more Americans would be exposed to his music because it is beautiful and has songs for any mood. Even when I don't know every word that he is singing, I still enjoy the music. I am glad I found this on Amazon because I was looking everywhere :)
