5.0 out of 5 stars Uncovered musical beauty, December 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sophie Zelmani (Audio CD)

When I first heard Sophie Zelmani it was on a hit tv show. The song that was featured was amazing, but I couldn't find out who actually sang it! I searched everywhere; Buffy web sites, asked friends, E-mailed everyone, but I couldn't find out who sang the song! Then one day I heard the song again, and this time it was on a different show but Sophie Zelmani was acknowledged as the artist in the end. When I saw her picture on the TV screen, and heard the song in the background, I went balistic! I found her CD at the store immediatetly, and ever since then it's been in my CD case. The songs on this CD are so beautiful, and touching. Sophie is not afraid to explore her sheltered side, yet she does it without being vulgar like some of the better known female artists today. She has compiled a beautiful CD which deserves recognition, and much plaudit. As soon as you pop this CD into your player, the first few touching cords of "I'll Remember You" will capture you, and you will be hooked. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars IT'S THE BOMB!, August 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sophie Zelmani (Audio CD)

Sophie Zelmani is great! I first heard her on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and then on the "My Best Friend's Wedding." I feel in love with the song "Always You." It makes to want to hear it over, and over, and over again. It took me a looooooooong time to find her CD. So when you find it, don't let out of your sight! Her music touches your heart and soul. Her songs are somewhat like Sophie Hawkins'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Grew up on me like no other album, August 14, 2002

Sandy (Brussels, Belgium) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sophie Zelmani (Audio CD)

It took me three times before this album became a classic in my collection. The first time I'm afraid I overlooked her because I had bough Sarah McLachlan "Surfacing" the same day and was mesmerized. The second time, some songs started to stand up and got repeat treatment. The third time, the connection happened. I purchased all her further releases since.

"There must be a reason" is an upbeat folksong about relationships between a girl and her stepfather. I guess there is some autobiographical content as the touching "Tell me you're joking" is about a child who just lost his father. I love "You and me" story telling style. There is no chorus in this song portraying the quick encounter of a girl and a homeless man in the street while she's waiting for her bus. "I'll see you in another world" is a beautiful upbeat ballad. I liked the saxophone solo and the light whistle at the end.

Those are my favorite songs, but are not the only assets of the album. "I'd be broken", "So good", "Always you", "Until dawn" and "Stand by" are pop folk songs that instantaneously stick in your head once you heard them. I recommend Sophie's albums to anyone who enjoys Lilith Fair girls, and especially to Suzanne Vega listeners.
