Ahla Dounya

Cd was not original

Everything Excellent

I had the cd almost 5 days after the purshase it's very good I listen to it in the Car every day being away from my country and family is very hard but with Music I feel I am home .

While this CD has some strong tracks, there is no big hit on the scope of Baddy Doub, Aayshalak, Bitrooh, or Shiltak from her other efforts. If your preference is for upbeat, pop-inspired songs such as Diana Haddad's, "Shater" and Samira Saeed's "Youm Wara Youm," then there's not a lot here for you. The mournful, soulful, lugubrious ballads, however, are aplenty. The best track and closest to her previous smash hits is probably "Koul Youm Fee Oumri" which will definitely get your feet tapping. "Bein Il Ein" and "Zekra" are also very listenable. The CD closes fairly strongly with the Spanish acoustic guitar background for "Law Nirjaa Sawa." Absent, and missing in my opinion, are any duets with Ragheb Alameh. All in all though, I was just a little disappointed. Perhaps "Koul Youm Fee Oumri" will grow on me in time.

Elissa strikes gold with her 2004 album Ahla Dounya, translated "The Sweetest Life". Again, this album from beginnig to end is perfection. The ballads are just amazing and the fast/dancey songs are wonderful too.Best Tracks: Hobak Wajaa (Inta Lameen), Gowaya Leek, Kan Nefsy Araf and Ahla Dounya.Thank you Elissa for providing such wonderful music. Bless you.

Besides being a very beautiful woman, Elissa can really sing. She has such a soft and melodic voice that the music transports you to distant lands. The band that plays with her is also top notch.

Purchased to use in a belly dancing class and it went down well with all the students.
