Details: Product Description Thalia, Lynda Amazon.ca Winner of the Ma Première Place des Arts competition in 2000, singer-songwriter Lynda Thalie offers Sablier, a carefully crafted first album that exudes the scents of the Orient, integrating the sounds and language of his native Algeria. This fusion of North African and Western influences sometimes recalls the work of Natasha Atlas, especially since the young singer's precise voice is similar to that of the Egyptian diva. It is however a rather artificial marriage: we are dealing here with sophisticated music, pleasant to listen to, in particular thanks to the contribution of the legendary American bassist Tony Levin (King Crimson, Laurie Anderson). Directed by Nicolas Maranda, from the electronic duo Coma, the whole is hyper-licked, oscillating between rehashed sounds ("Pour toi") or more muscular ("Marsa").
