About this item

Natacha Atlas has had a truly 'global' background so evident in the music on "Something Dangerous". She grew up in the Moroccan suburbs of Brussels, speaks several languages fluently, is an expert of the raq sharki (belly dance) and has a devastating voice. On "Something Dangerous" she opens with a Jocelyn Took arranged orchestral ballad "Adam's Lullaby" sung in Arabic that has an epic, haunting brilliance. Bursts of reggae, dub, rap and echoes of Bollywood style pop follow making this her most diverse album yet. Guest appearance from Sinead O'Connor too on "Simple Heart".
