Editorial Reviews
...she moves the genre of dance-pop into new sonic territory. Her sexually charged vocals run the gamut from a sinuously airy chanteuse sound to a hard-edged rap....In Atlas' world, religious fervor and sexual tension go hand and hand....GEDIDA is a voluptuous work.

Q (04/01/1999)
...attempts an Arabic/Asian crossover, atop dance and dub rhythms, while tablas and ouds carve out Bollywood-like soundtracks for couples playing peek-a-boo amid the trees...
The Wire (03/01/1999)
...Two thumbs up.
Mojo (03/01/1999)
...Top international props go to Belgio-Moroccan diva Natacha Atlas, stealthing her hypothetical political lyrical miracle whip under sexy navel-shaking beats galore...
