Enjoy her now; ask "whatever happened to her?" later.

"Well, this is a side of Mrs. Joe Lieberman that we didn't know about! Just kidding - Adassa of course is the bilingual Hurban diva who's scoring with singles like "De Tra'" and "Kama Sutra." Now, these titles are probably not much better for sustaining a long-term career than "Aserejé" or "Bomba." But as far as Hurban albums go, "Kamasutra" offers more variety than most - there are agreeable spins on Dirty South, reggaetón, house, bubblegum hip-hop, jazz, etc. The Middle Eastern and South Asian imagery is a nice, novel touch, too. The beats aren't super-original but the album is produced with care and the hooks hold up pretty well over 15 tracks considering this is a singles-centric genre. Adassa's voice is versatile and adds to her formidable mystique - which one of those voices is the "real" Adassa? I'm afraid she won't be famous long enough for us to find out, as reggaetón (which for better or for worse she's associated with) is in its shark-jumping phase. But I, for one, promise to fondly place this album in my 2005 time capsule where it will remain gentle on my mind. Just like "Hijas del Tomate" and "El Sapo.""
Quit Hating Adassa is the Sh*t!

"Buy this cd you won't be dissapointed, there's not one bad track on it from beginning to end. From straight up hip hop beats to more arabic riffs, this cd will make you move.The last track is latin r&b at it's finest. Adassa's coming up baby!"
She's the Bomb!!

"I'm tired of the same old reggaeton sound. I like Don Omar and Daddy Yankee, but everybody else including Ivy Queen and Glory sound the same. Adassa's record is the exception, to me it's fresh, original, and has a new sound. When I listen to Ivy Queen, every song sounds the same. The girl just can't sing, what can I say! And I hate that song "La Popola" if you know what it means, you know that's a gross song. Adassa is the only girl in Reggaeton that you can hear the whole record begining to end because it's always giving you something fresh!"
