The Track "I Am a Stranger in This World" is taken from Azam Ali's fantastic second solo Album "Elysium For The Brave" (2006). Listen and enjoy it. Azam Ali's first album, "Portals Of Grace", was such a stunning piece of multicultural lyricism that it quickly established the singer as a major new star of world music. For this follow-up, Ali's had four years to both hone her poetic lyrics and expand on the breadth of musical influences. The result is an intoxicating collection of songs that blend rock, Middle Eastern folk music, and chill-out trance, made all the more exotic and celestial by the presence of Ali's rich vocals.
