CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Sheetal grew up in Detroit, Michigan, where her musician parents had settled after emigrating from the Gujarat in India. By age 5, she had already embarked upon studies of Western violin and Indian classical vocal traditions. Judging by her debut album, the young singer-composer's mature style owes as much to King Crimson, Enya, and Yes as it does to her ancestral heritage. This is not a problem, as intercultural experiments can be engaging and are what keeps music alive and kicking. But the tunes are bogged down by gummy, echo-laden production values that threaten to smother the singer's delicate, jewel-like voice, plus she is repeatedly overwhelmed by an omnipresent overdubbed choir. The overall sound reminds one of a hapless butterfly stuck in a sticky-sweet, claustrophobic honey pot. Which is a terrible pity, as the lady obviously has genuine talent, a strong personal viewpoint and can really sing. She deserves better. --Christina Roden Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsYou Can Be Transported to India and Beyond! Blueisis69 | Urbana, Ohio United States | 08/08/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "I stumbled across this cd merely by accident, and I am so glad I listened to this cd then promptly bought it...! Sheetal transports you to other exotic lands with her melodious and erethral voice. You feel like you are walking through the markets and streets of Bombay...I especially love the songs, "Hari Om", "Ganesh" and "Love of Ages". I wish I could give this 10 stars 'cause it is beautiful! I love world music especially anything from India or the Middle East...and if you like music that takes you away from the everyday bubble gum pop on the radio, then this is your best bet. There are some english songs too, but most are in Indian. Feel Taken Away with Sheetal!!!" This is a gem! Kevin J. Kennedy | Eaton Rapids, Michigan USA | 08/29/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "I bought this CD on a whim; I thought its "Raga meets Enya" style might be appealing. And, gosh, was I right! Please ignore Amazon.com's over the top negative review of this album. I reacted similarly to the disk the first time I heard it. But this is one that really rewards repeated listening. Those familiar with filmi music might find that Sheetal's music bears some resemblance to that of A.R. Rahman."
