"Opera choice: Following Fatma Said's triumphant first album "El Nour" was never going to be easy, but "Kaleidoscope" traces an equally original loosely chronological journey through song, opera, operetta, zarzuela, tango, jazz, swing, musical theatre and pop in selfdescribed "montage", ending with Whitney Houston's 1987 cart-topping "I wanna dance with somebody" ... Said vaults effortlessly across stylistic boundaries, often via dazzling arrangements by her collaborator Tim Allhoff. And that Whitney Houston track? Even diehard sceptics will be moved by this vulnerable rendition in a translucent arrangement".
