Nothing Else Like It.......2005-10-24

This is really a fabulous album, and has become a real unexpected favorite in my collection. While the title track is catchy and quirky, the real meat of the album lies within. I especially love "Bliss" and "Dhamavati." This music is fusion in the best sense - a blend of worldwide musical influence and truly contemporary approach to border-crossing art. I HIGHLY recommend this album to the aesthetically curious.

Airy and weak pop music.......2004-01-08

Raman's "Love Trap" intrigued me, for its promise of intercultural sound weavings. But when it arrived, I discovered its mediocrity. It's just cheap music, reminiscent of the worst of 1970s pop music: light, weak, and empty. Right from the first track, "Love Trap," you know you're in for a frivilous album, with trite background vocals "Love Trap, Love Trap, oooh, Love Trap, Love Trap, ooooh," and tin-plated lyrics.

Her sensual world.......2004-01-05

If world music is all about bringing people from different nations close and making them understand the beautiful side of each others music culture then it's no coincidence that Susheela Raman is one of it's stand out artists right now . The Anglo-Indian gifted lady mixes creatively various elements of the Indian , Tamil and wider western and eastern music tradition and manages to deliver an exotic , dazzling offering . First cd single " Love Trap " with it's poisonous charms can seduce a priest while " Sarasa " is as tender and sensual as a melody could ever be . What's most suprising though about Raman is that despite her young age she delivers such rich perfomances on songs like the slow and hypnotic " Amba " . Clearly she's here to stay and has all the wit and talent in order to do so .

Susheela is excellent.......2003-12-26

I found this CD a most amazing walk into the far-away-lands I never knew existed. I especially like the Title song. It blends interesting rhythms and beautiful voice inflections. I stronly recommend this CD. I enjoy it the more I listen to it.

Phenomenal Voice.......2003-09-21

I saw Susheela in concert and she has an absolutely phenomenal voice live. A very real voice, she was not caught up in anything but the music. The CD doesn't do justice to her voice, but it is an amazing compilation of her songs. If you read the translation of her songs, it makes the song even more beautiful. A great mix of South Indian Classical music with jazz, a good world beat CD.
