"Here's another reminder of what an exquisite singer she can be. She's a major star in France, but it was still a brave move for her and her band to record live with the Toulouse Chamber Orchestra, especially as the set includes several new songs. They open with Rise To Freedom, an easy-going "salute to the 2011 Egyptian revolution" in which piano and strings are matched against hand percussion".

""Expressions", recorded before a jubilant crowd i Toulouse, is a tour de force for Natacha Atlas and a reminder of just how the Belgian singer still manages to pull a crowd after so many years. Natacha's always fine voice is complemented by an incredible backing band as well as the Chamber Orchestra of Toulouse ... Treats include an inspired version of Nick Drake's "Riverman" and the broody, Vangelis-sounding "Le Shou El Haky". Shot throughout the record is a healthy, and refreshingly subtle, dose of Natacha's own diverse and wide-ranging Middle Eastern heritage. "Expressions" is a great record from a gifted artist and the only regret it leaves you with is that you weren't in Toulouse to see the show".
