Outside is an album by the British Indian singer Amar, released in 2000.[1]

"Sometimes It Snows in April" peaked at No. 48 on the UK Singles Chart.[4] A remix of the song was included on Mixmag's list of the "40 Best Tracks of 1995 to 2005".[5]

Critical reception

The Guardian called the album "wilfully eclectic," writing that "the songs benefit from breaking things down to the essentials, fusing [Amar's] distinctive raw vocals with blissed-out tablas, keyboards and strings."[2] The Birmingham Post wrote that the album weds "a vocal style vaguely reminiscent of Kate Bush" to "breakbeats and lush orchestrations."[3]
