This review is from: Like Cinderella (Audio CD)

I bought this CD upon hearing one song in Israel's Ben Gurion airport, and it was a great purchase. It has great melodies, it is well produced, and is an excellent sampling of what must be some of the best of Sephardi Israeli music. Unlike most Israeli pop, which are like American adult contemporary music in Hebrew, it is full of Arabic-flavored melodies, inflections, and instrumentation. It is ethnic sounding, but while being accessible compared to most Arabic music, it is not as Americanized as most other Israeli pop. Not everybody will like this, but I think it's great for someone who is into interestingly flavored scales and rhythms.

This review is from: To DO What i Want (Audio CD)

This is one of Sarit's earlier CDs. While I enjoy it, it is less enjoyable or accessible to American ears than her more recent work like Hagiga (Celebration), Child of Love, or her latest Miss Music.

I love her music and Sarit is worth a listen, but I would not start with this album as an introduction to her music. Because she uses middle-eastern styles and vocalizations on most songs, this particular CD can sound odd or out of key to people primarily used to American pop.

Try Sarit regardless, but unless you are used to middle-eastern music, start with another of her albums.
