This Pakistani singer is one of the most popular voices in her nation, known for her work in a number of styles and languages. She has done traditional music, classical, and a hybrid of the two--which is what this collection showcases. Underpinned by sarangi, harmonium, and percussion, these tracks are often orchestrated with lush strings, bits of guitar and such. Many go way over the line into a crossbreed of popular western and eastern modes. Think Indian film music more than Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. The voice is the thing, though, and there's no denying her right to stardom. It is a plaintive, sometimes fragile voice that wraps around songs of lovelorn supplication like a silk glove. If you like Indian film music and qawwal, and you are unfamiliar with this marvelous singer, this is a fair place to start an exploration. --Louis Gibson
