Rox Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Not a fan of her music, too slow for me, but that is just my personal taste. She does have a great voice though and is definitely a very good singer. But it's always nice to see a talented Persian artist break through (: Thanks for all the vids, Xerxes Quote
