The Rabbit Hole Named One Of Northern Jersey's Best Albums Of 2010

Online, January 10, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The New York-based musician Khaled's latest album, "The Rabbit Hole", has been named one of Northern Jersey's best albums of 2010* by NJ.com calling it, "...one of the most engaging and eclectic local releases of the year." Jim Testa writing for the Jersey Journal went on to say, "...the intricacy and passion of [Khaled's] guitar transcends language and culture and more than stands on its own...creating a freewheeling mix of love songs and instrumentals that truly earns the title 'world music.'"

Khaled Dajani released "The Rabbit Hole" last year describing it as Alternative World Fusion, which he explains as, "If a Middle Easterner had a polygamist affair with Flamenco and Rock 'n Roll, the result would be Khaled." The album received great reviews from Khaled's fan base as well as the British Social Network, Woho Music, hailing it as "...an unconventional album. It makes you sit up and take notice as you travel along the changing styles, melodies and arrangements. In ten songs, your imagination can take you across different continents and cultures making the experience refreshing and enlightening." It went on to be nominated for Outstanding Album at the 2010 Hoboken Music Awards** later in the year. Dajani wrapped up 2010 playing shows to receptive audiences in Pittsburgh, P.A., Washington D.C., Hoboken, N.J., and New York, N.Y.. He also performed on New York City's "Balcony TV" and was interviewed about his music on "Russia TV".

Dajani is a self-taught musician, who came to the U.S. from Saudi Arabia at the age of sixteen. During his high school years, he became a writer as well. "I love writing. It's so much fun playing with words and their timing. I never physically write down the music. I play it repeatedly as if beating it into my memory. Once I get the feeling of the music, I write the words to tell its story." Khaled is also known for his intimate and exciting live performances, which one fan in Newport, Kentucky described as, "One of the Top 5 Performances I've ever seen!"

"The Rabbit Hole" can be purchased at online retailers such as CD Baby, iTunes, Amazon, and Raphsody. For more information on Khaled and his live performances, visit www.khaledis.me.
