Washington Post, CD Review >>
Although [Julia] Sarr is no screamer, her delivery is earthy and occasionally even raucous. Singing with Senegalese superstar Youssou N'Dour on "Set Luna Djamonodji," Sarr croons so gently that you'd never guess that the lyrics -- in Wolof, her ancestral language -- are about the pitfalls of the expatriate life: "If you leave your land to go conquer another/You might change, and you might lose yourself." Such doubts don't infiltrate her singing, which is vibrant and assured. From the sultry "Namana" to the exuberant "Nimala Djure," Sarr always sounds as if she knows exactly who and where she is.
