Review
With her fourth solo recording, Ayeshteni, Egyptian songstress Natacha Atlas puts her voice dead center, coming on snake-hipped, seductive, and sophisticated with a feral emotional core. Made in Cairo (with some assistance from her Transglobal Underground mates, whom Atlas has collaborated with since the early '90s), the songs swell shaabi style, incorporating trippy beats, guttural cries, sinuous strings, and a disturbing yet undeniable beauty that brings no one to mind so much as musical kindred spirit Björk. The latter is perhaps most evident on the artist's bewitching scratch-filled take on Screamin' Jay Hawkins's "I Put a Spell on You" and the Jacques Brel classic "Ne Me Quitte Pas," infused here with North African-by-21st-century fervor. Elsewhere, Western listeners need not fear the Arabic language; Atlas's focused delivery and challenging arrangements are more than tastefully tuneful, rather they are so compelling as to transcend language and cultural barriers. This is music of the cells, the body, and the roaming spirit; yet another way to free the mind and have the flesh follow. --Paige La Grone
