Lamya: Learning From Falling 
(J, 2002) Does anyone out there agree that this album was slept on? I kind of expected a bigger push for Lamya, especially since she came out when J Records was still pretty new. I really think she's a smart woman, with clever and insightful lyrics. My favorite tracks are "Empires", "I Get Cravings", "Splitting Atoms" and "The Woman Who". I hope she gets another shot. 
Empires Bring me men - bring me men to match my mountains Bring me men - bring me men to match my plains Men with Empires Men with Empires in their purpose And new - and new eras in their brains Bring me men Bring me men who'll turn the page Men with vision Visions of a new age Who will not engage In foreign rage and distant war Whose policies of peace Legends and Legacies restore Bring me men - bring me men to match my mountains Bring me men - bring me men to match my plains Men with Empires Men with Empires in their purpose And new - and new eras in their brains Bring me men Bring me men that do believe You reap as you sew Give as you receive Bring me not Kings With arbitrary reign Prepare me the way And let my freedom sustain Bring me the warrior Shepherd or leader Hunter or Hider Whether a lawyer Doctor or Teacher Spiritual Preacher Wheeler and Healer Spin Doctor Dealer Bring me men - bring me men to match my mountains Bring me men - bring me men to match my plains Men with Empires Men with Empires in their purpose And new - and new eras in their brains  | |

I danced with her once onstage during "Love Come Through" (from Soul II Soul Vol.2), I remember that record and because of my "experience" with her I was going to drop the dollars. But a few people (whose musical opinions I valued) said that it was just "Alright" so I passed. Is there anything you can compare it to?

The only reason I know of her is because she toured with Duran Duran as a backup singer.  (Back in 93 I think.) She sang the girl's part in Come Undone.
I'd like to check her out. Her website is down.  | |

You guys, give this cd a try. Heck, you can get it brand new from http://www.amazon.com/gp/...dition=all for as little as $0.01!!! I normally don't like comparing folks, but some of the reviews I've read have compared her to Bjork, Sade, Kate Bush and Alanis.
Oh BTW, she also sang backup for some dude named David Bowie.  | |
