Customer reviews of Mesk Elil
|
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Lovely
Comment: A wonderful compilation of happy and melancholic/sad songs that takes you to another world. A great album!
Customer Rating:
Summary: wonderful sound
Comment: Heard Bel El Madhi (The Gate Of The Past) from the DEB CD on Link.TV and was intrigued by the wonderful melody. Bought the CD. Loved it. Bought the other three that have been issued by this great Algerian group (including Mesk Elil). Even bought some more to give to friends. THis lady has an absolutely wonderful, clear, crisp and sultry voice.
Customer Rating:
Summary: one of the most beautiful contemporary North African singers today....
Comment: If this is your introduction to Souad Massi, this is definitely a strong example of her beautiful and haunting body of work. "Mesk Elil" is album #3 for this Algerian-born, Parisian based alto. Souad combines the haunting Arabic-inspired percussive rhythms with inspirations spanning everything from bossa nova to ballad, flamenco to trip hop.
The strength of "Mesk Elil" is in Souad's strong delivery of the songs. Also, the tone of this album and its pieces are delivered in an introspective and very poetical way. After you are done listening to this album, I suggest you check out "Deb," her 2nd (and in my opinion) strongest album. You will fall in love with her (you'll have no choice!!).
Customer Rating:
Summary: She does it again.
Comment: Ilham is a really fun tune. Dar Dgedi is a really sad and touching song even though I can't understand the lyrics! I can't remember which tracks are my favorite right off hand. While I don't think this song has as many catchy tunes, the production overall is better than her previous two albums. Like her first two, it gets heavy rotation in my home and car stereos. It's a must have album
Customer Rating:
Summary: A voice like honey
Comment: This is the best of Massi's albums yet. The range of her voice is extraordinary. With a touch of South America, a little Africa and her own magic added for good measure. There are no filler tracks on this CD !!
Outstanding and thoroughly recommended.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Souad Massi's melodies-at once exotic and familiar-are influenced by shaabi music, French chanson, flamenco, 1960s American folk, and a variety of African musical traditions. Accessible and engaging, her delicate guitar playing is the perfect accompaniment to her beautiful lyric. "Mesk Elil" the highly anticipated 3rd album follows on from 2004's "Deb".
