Now I really like this track - this is an
excellent innovation, a world dance track! A
very catchy chorus! GOOD LYRICS!! GOOD
VOCALS! A very good Indian vocal bridge -
this is exciting. About the only thing I don't
like here are the annoying keyboard sweeps at
the start (0:30), I don't know why bands put
those in, but I guess it's a matter of taste to
appeal to the kids or something. The contrasting
rhythm sections might be a little problematic on
the dance floor; not everyone would know what to
do with those open spaces there. You keep going
in and out with a house/dance beat. But I sure
like it! I would suggest a remix and try to find
a compromise beat you can carry more of the way
through and send this song home. Some keyboards
in the chorus might work very well to give it
more punch. Very nice!

Ethno dance production did by the power of the
electronica. Definitely rise my mood, splendid
job in the construction: electronical elements,
dance rhythm, nice female vocal and ethno
strings. Easily rememberable, flow in the
essecnce of the variety, appropriate for
dance clubs, brings much power and energy,
by my view van reach the top of the ethno dance
charts. My favourite moments start in 3:10,
beautiful asian flavour turn by the vocal and
strong beat. The sound blow my ears, great work,
I don't have any reproofs at all.
A Bollywood-inspired intro leads into a
happy-go-lucky dancebeat with English lyrics and
some India-inspired sounds like cither.
This piece of music is for partying and
dancing!

The production is very good. I like the approach
on this track. I really enjoy arab sounding
music. The sounds and vocals really change
this from possibly being boring into a very
listenable track. The song follows a very
pleasing structure and I enjoy it.
- EvilDrGonzo from West Henrietta, New York on 5Apr2005
Very good piece. The sequencing was great. There
were sounds coming from everywhere. I really dug
the Middle Eastern/Indian aspect of the song.
the nifty breakdowns before going back into the
groove were a plus, particulary the last one.
Great tune, it has such a fat groove and
beautiful modality.
- TracksuitBand from Allston, Massachusetts on 4Apr2005
Intro: very complex, a mix of different
styles... Very energetic drums. Nice work on the
stringed instrument (plucked) not sure if it is
a guitar.... Nice female vocals, nicely
harmonized as well.
The singing is very good. Needs more
balanced programming and may be a bit less gimmicks
- BambooDreams from Upper Darby, Pennsylvania on 2Apr2005
Very interesting. Intro is world, but then it
seems to jump to dance, electronica. Good hooks,
"into the arms of love" vocalist has a unique
sounding voice, which is a selling point,
excellent craftsmanship at programming

I don't really listen to this type of music, but
this was very engaging. Very lush and
full. There's lots to hold your attention. It's
sounds very professional, and catchy.
- bigdavesos from Nashville, Tennessee on 27Mar2005
The lyrics were good, it always refreshing to
see english as the vocals on the top of world
music tracks. The use of such a diversified
mix of instruments makes the track really
come across as international.
Good Track
Nice introduction. The backing vocals have nice
harmonic structure. Reminds me of some of
Madonna's "Ray of Light" era work. The synth
tones all work but the mix could use to have a
bit of life injected into it, perhaps
compression on the individual elements. There's
a lot of potential energy here which is going
untapped. Try upping the low end and adding a
gated low frequency oscillator tone to the kick
drum to give it a bit more punch. You've got a
piece here which could easily be a European
club hit if given a bit more attention on
the production end.
I really liked the intro. And I loved the
female vocals. There was a perfect balance
in this song.....not too much was going on at
the same time. Great sound.
Nice sequencing. A lot of times people get the
frequencies tangled but you managed to stay away
from that.. I really liked the breakdown around
3:15 or so. Specially the girl singing amd the
differant beat you threw in Good Luck
Very dynamic piece presented an a firey
fashion. Awesome work on the overall
presentation. Great style and mood in the vocal
arrangement. Great job on this song!

I really did not know what it meant by "People's
Music" as a genre, but I clicked on it. I know
very little about World music but I will do my
best here. THis defintely sounds like it would
go over well in the club scene and has a very
upbeat feel to it and the singing is very
soothing.
- hatorecs from New Bedford, Massachusetts on 21Feb2005
The groove is very cool. Very 80's on one hand,
but also very contemporary. Some fun "ethnic"
stuff happening in the breaks. The lyrics and
melody don't suck nearly as much as I expect in
this genre. Wouldn't be surprised to hear this
on the radio some day.
ahh bliss great to hear am not the only one that
loves these ethnic percussion loops .. the
opening of this tune is BIIIG and very much in
style of that eastern pop stuff .. just a shame
that the euro pop element was taking over this
much .. but still very much true to the style of
that eastern pop sound.. and the great
singing is just perfect ... i guess this
ones one of them songs u either love or hate ..
ok maybe u just like it as well .. i think its
def very sweet and is well produced .. great
stuff for the pop heads :)

I think the vocals are the best part of the
song. I think there was a great job on the
instrument design, but if I was dancing to this,
it would annoy me because there are too many
breaks and build ups.
- nosaji2002 from Chattanooga, Tennessee on 4Dec2004
This is a prime candidate for a movie
soundtrack or video game. Sounds very
Japanese. I can also hear a crowd singing the
chours in a packed club. I especially enjoyed
the change around 3:15. Female vocals are
perfect. Good track.
Chick singer sounds like a Madonna clone, but
maybe not as slutty and Kabalaesque. Sure is
upbeat and happy feel to this dealio. I think I
am too old to dance to this, unless I picked
about every other beat to move to. My kid would
probably goes nuts with this if it were a DDR
cut for PS2.
Wow! Great beginning! The percussion is superb.
This is a great egypt-like tune so you difinitly
get points for being original. Also has a
great voice carrying this tune and
production makes me envious.
Great Vocals! The lyrics are great. The
vocalist is really good too! The vocals are what
carry the song. Overall production isn't bad but
personally it sounds a bit old school techno,
really I mean speed this thing up to 150 - 160
bpm and it would sound so much like Happy Hard
Core it's not funny. That's not a bad thing
those dudes made tons of money..in like the
90's! I'll bet though there is still a market
for this style of dance/techno so even though I
am not a huge fan I am fair with my reviews and
production wise as well as musically this track
is pretty damn good!
Has a great 'Indian' feel to the intro; and the
layered harmonies are a great touch. Female
vocals right on track to fit the mood of the song.
Very inviting, engaging melody & arrangement. Excellent !!
Excellent. It sounds like a cool egyptian or
indian type dance song. I like the vocals
and the drums. It's happy even though the lyrics
aren't as much.
- D_stroyer from Dearborn Heights, Michigan on 29Nov2004
Love the opening harmonies of sincere whole
notes floating over quick beats. Mixture of
major and minor, Eastern melodic patterns up my
alley. Background riffs spice up the song.
Lyrics are cool club "what you seek is always
near" phrases. Tonal warmth from the harmonies,
exotic clips keep the song interesting. A
two-part song slipping into a Bollywood type
section. The variety of instruments keeps me
listening.
yeah i like your style. great arabic flow, with
not arabic vocals :D original. add compression
to your rhytme parts for more power. i really
like the vocal parts. great text. you've added
lots of elements to your song, which keep it
interesting. Great job
this song is very good. i liked the keyboards
and vocals. very good. i dont know what
to tell you to improve on cause its perfect
already. i hope to see you live soon!! good job
- dollars_4_joe from Salt Lake City, Utah on 28Nov2004
The beat is definitly awesome in this song. I
love the originality as well. The synth lines
are catchy and make me want to dance.
This is definitly a club worthy track.
Rousing eastern sounds from the outset and
throughout, with decorative daraburka and bells
intertwined with some electric sitar riffs
striking the raga. A hint of Madonna like vox
and fab bv's. It doesn't get much more uplifting
then this. Pulsating strings add to the positive
lyrics. Spot on crystal clear production. Leaves
you wanting more!
- Rowls from England, Middlesex, United Kingdom on 27Nov2004
AND ADVANCED PRODUCTION WITH A NICE EXOTIC
INSTRUMENTAL AND VOCAL FEEL, WITH LOTS OF
VARIATIONS. SEQUENCING IS GREAT. A NICE DANCE
TRACK FOR THE FLOORS...
