Salim and Faris Nourallah share the vocal duties on their first album
together, but a better way of saying that would be that Salim and Faris
Nourallah share the same voice, so identical are they that only their mother
would be able to listen to Nourallah Brothers and identify who sang each song
without the aid of liner notes. But Salim and Faris share more than just the
voices they were born with, both capable of writing songs that sound as if no
one else was meant to hear them, putting the kind of intimate touch on the 18
songs here (counting the two bonus tracks) that you'd feel guilty listening
to them, if only the melodies weren't so inviting. It's the kind of record
only brothers could make, two musicians who have a bond greater than anything
you'd find on a stage.
