Shaday

I worked with Ofra on this album. She was every inch a perfectionist and wanted to ensure that the English language used was not your average poor translation from the Hebrew or Yemenite origin of the song. What amazed me the most about Ofra was her ability to just get it right first time. She worked tirelessly - and perfectly. She was beautiful inside and out. I wasn't credited for my translation, as this had been contracted out, but she wasn't happy with the result. She did find the space to thank me on the album sleeve, which was typical of her generosity of spirit.The first time I met Ofra, I didn't know who she was, and we celebrated Passover together at friends. I enjoyed singing along to all the religious melodies - and together we harmonised and smiled and sang. At the end of the evening, she said to me almost crying: "Thank you so much - nobody has dared to sing with me for many years." I thought it was a very strange thing to say - until I later found out who she was!We became good friends, spending many hours together - but for too short a time. I remember walking down Regent Street with her to buy English Language tapes so that she could perfect her spoken English.... within minutes we were mobbed by fans, all calling out her name through the shop window. The sadness of her lonely life was often all too abundant. She was held on a pedestal, imprisoned by her own greatness. It breaks my heart to see pictures of her, or hear her voice.The best thing about this album is that I believe it is one of the original recordings that have not been remixed by her manager, Bezalel Aloni. So it is authentic, purely Ofra and as such, totally beautiful.

I first heard tracks from this album while on holiday in Germany many years ago and bought the LP almost immediately.

I originally bought the LP centuries ago, now I got the CD. Great, I Love All the tracks.

Every Mintune of this album is wonderful! From Ofra's beautiful voice to the amazing late-80's sounds! Love it and would recommend to anymone who looks Ofra or likes 80's music with a twist!

good

Can't beat a bit of Ofra for transporting you to a better place.

Beautiful!

Her best album!

Una voce inconfondibile.

great

I've been a fan of Ofra Haza ever since I saw The Prince of Egypt as a child. From the moment she started to sing, I was mesmerized. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. An absolutely crystal clear voice, every note-flawless. Before I'd heard her voice, I didn't know it was possible for a voice to be so pure, so beautiful. With her death at just 42, the world lost one of the most beautiful voices ever recorded. Ironically, this exquisite voice belongs to a singer most people have never heard of. When someone mentions the name Ofra Haza people don't say, "oh, I know who that is!" With long, raven black hair, dark, kohl-lined eyes and delicate features, Haza's exotic beauty is matched by her extraordinary voice. I love almost every song on this album. And even if I don't care for a song, I'll listen to it for the sake of hearing her voice. I really like the songs Im Nin'Alu, Eshal, Shaday, and Galbi. But my absolute favorite song is "Love Song", song number 5 on the album. Love Song is sung in Hebrew and is acapella. Her voice, clear as a bell, just sours. I literally get goosebumps when I listen to this song. There's no describing it. You'll just have to hear it for yourself. Her voice and recordings are her legacy. I want people to know who Ofra Haza is so they can hear her haunting, exquisite voice, and enjoy this little-known artist and appreciate the rare gem she was.
