Natacha Atlas is an internationally-acclaimed artist with one of the world’s most distinctive voices. The Anglo-Egyptian singer has spent more than three decades fusing electronic beats with North African and Arabic music, finding links between seemingly disparate musical genres, exploring new and different sonic settings and working with a wealth of like-minded collaborators from across the world along the way. The resulting body of work is both a triumph of true multiculturalism and a testament to the richness and accessibility of Arabic culture. It is, indeed, an oeuvre unlike any other. Presiding over it all, of course, is Atlas’s extraordinary voice. Meltingly sensuous and gloriously passionate, delicate with melisma and microtones, it bridges Middle Eastern and Western styles with instinctive ease.

The Best Of Natacha Atlas was originally released in May 2005, and we are excited to present a remastered version, available on vinyl for the first time. When this best-of was originally released, Natacha didn’t want to just put out a collection of only album tracks. Several tracks were new mixes and re-workings that Natacha chose to do, and at the time, she said “I decided to re-record a few tracks that I felt needed an overhaul or bringing up to date”. Her stunning versions of the Françoise Hardy classic “Mon Amie La Rose”, the James Bond theme “You Only Live Twice”, “I Put A Spell On You” as made famous by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins and James Brown’s “(It’s a Man’s Man’s) Man’s World” are also included.

To date, Natacha has released nine studio albums, the first seven of which were released on Beggars labels Nation and Mantra. Her most recent album Strange Days, was released in 2019.
