"Since Ofrah Haza suddenly and sadly past away, it's a good time to start collecting her albums and giving the respect she has earned. This Album - "Adama" - earth, is probably the most safisticated album she ever had. Using the top Israeli writers and composers, Ofra takes us to a journey of passion, exotic and warmth in the trails she knows the best, her own trails. Yemenite background, Israeli color and a voice that is one of a kind. Eventhough it was realeases more then 10 years ago, it's simpley one of her best. The words have a new meening as well... like "someone is always walking with me" and "mother earth". Run to buy it, listen to it, listen and listen and listen, It will never leave your stereo system."

Simply A Masterpiece

"This CD is a very impressive and serious work of art from the vocal genius Ofra Haza. It is artistic, sophisticated, profound,
beautiful, tasteful, mature, and a masterpiece. It is a timeless
work of art. It is amazing considering it was made relatively early in her solo career, in 1985, when Ofra Haza was only 26 years old. Piano is the dominant accompanying instrument here,
along with percussion, some brass, an occasional backup vocal chorus, and an occasional flute and acoustic guitar. It would
be difficult to pick a best song: "My Wounded Bird,"
"Lullaby," or "Mutual Destiny" are among the best here.
This CD deserves much more recognition as it is significantly better than dozens of titles from less talented female vocalists who mainly due to hype and advertising outsell Ofra Haza's
"Earth." Reward yourself, buy "Earth," you will be glad you
did."
