专辑介绍
by Chris Nickson
Sevara Nazarkhan is a pop star in her native Uzbekistan. This Western debut is supposed to be more rooted in her Central Asian tradition. That's the idea; unfortunately, most of this comes across as slickly pop -- albeit decidedly left-of-center -- as anything she's scored with on the charts. And the reason is Hector Zazou's production. He's done some excellent work in the past, but this time out he's decided to smooth any possible rough edges in the music; add programming to everything, whether it needs it or not; and use the kid of harmonies that simply don't exist in Uzbeki traditional music. The result is a bland record, plain and simple. Yes, there's some excellent playing of the doutar by Toir Kuziyev, and Nazarkhan has a winning voice, but the settings they're given just blend into a sameness of lush keyboards, gentle bass, and subtle beats. Only the last track, "Alla," comes close to freeing them of that, while "Moghulchai Navo" starts hopefully, with a glorious unaccompanied vocal, only to hit a crescendo of strings. The truth is Nazarkhan doesn't need this decoration. With minimal instrumentation, she can carry these songs quite easily and have her voice shown off to greater advantage. Cross-cultural fusions are fine, if both cultures have something creative to contribute. In this case, the West falls drastically short

- @路德·古利特：Sevara Nazarkhan塞瓦拉.娜扎哈，乌兹别克斯坦歌手、创作人和音乐家，曾被英国广播电台誉为最佳亚洲音乐家。她使用的乐器是DOUTAR一种十五世纪的中亚二弦琵琶，以拨释而非弹拂的指法演奏。在这一器乐为牧者和旅人专司的年代，琴弦是用动物的肠道制成的。DOUTAR的琴音温醇悦耳，在Sevara的指间传出，伴着她的歌声，婉如一缕来自远古的叹息。
