4.0 out of 5 stars Another face of Khaled, November 13, 2000

I heard Khaled for the 1st time in Sahra, and I just fell in love with the guy's music. I couldn't wait for Kenza, and I find it to be very different from Sahra. There is definitely less of that reggea mix in Kenza, but Kenza is a whole lot more subtle than Sahra, as if Khaled's mood had changed like the wind in the Sahara. Some tracks I absolutely love, like "C'est la nuit". This ballad is very soulful and speaks to the heart. All in all, Kenza is another face of Khaled, and that is what I find fascinating, so many artists repeat themselves, it is both refreshing and intriguing to listen to an artist and feel both as if it was a new artist and and old friend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun songs, May 26, 2000

Mature sound and the best work of khalid. You may need to listen to the songs few times before you fall deeply in love with them. The Egyptian strings add new sound to Khalid, more Arabic if you like. A must buy for Rai fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars KHALED, INNOVATIVE AND BRILLIANT, AS USUAL., November 4, 2000

What makes this guy a unique singer and a hit master is the element of surprise he provides to his fans. As usual, Khaled trys to introduce a new style and a new surprise to his fans. I have been a khaled fan for almost 7 years. I have been following his accomplishments and really enjoyed every single album he made. From his first mega hit album "Khaled", which included Didi, all the way until "Sahra", which included "Aicha", you can se how Khaled introduces something really surprising. He keeps you up-to-date to enjoy his music. Unlike most singers that keep on repeating the same style in their albums over, and over, and over, Khaled always comes up with something new. You have to listen to his songs carefully in order to know that this songs really belongs to him because he sounds so different from each one song to another by having totally a new attitude.

In this latest official album, you'll enjoy totally a new music. Like El Bab, which is a mixture of Algerian Rai, and Jazz, with very mesmerizing rythems.

Although nobody seems to understand what he is singing (since he's singin in Arabic), he is a big hit world-wide. Can you imagine what whould happen if Khaled sings in English? I'm sure he can surpases Michael Jackson or Elvis Presly (in my openion). Khaled, keep up the good work,
