SARINE BALIAN

JUXTAPOSED

Saucy Records

A heterogeneous but interesting compilation of songs for a special voice.

 Of Armenian descent and grown up in Lebanon in the 80's, Sarine Balian lives in the USA where she keeps in touch with her native community. She sings in the Armenian, English and Spanish language as she considers that a language is never enough to express what she as an artist is supposed to render. Thus, familiar Latin and jazz compositions coexist with a typical eastern melancholy free of references to ethnic commonplace. It proves her sound musical background perfection in terms of technique and the overall outcome is remarkable. Such a release should at least deserve a bit of a better production.
