Another beautiful diva from Africa. In this case a blend of Mali and the Ivory Coast. She’s got a gorgeous voice; sexy, warm and silky. The music is a blend of her Malian roots w/hints of jazz, pop and funk. Some serious guest stars on this one (like Toumani Diabate) and great style and passion. *1. Mid/upbeat w/a tinge of Latin. A great intro to her voice. 2. Layers of vocals lead into a light up/mid Afro funk track. *3. Uptempo and jazzy w/some seriously hot strings/perc. *4. Vocal sampling leads to a bright midtempo blend that’s so cool. *5. Slow and sensual then driving and passionate. Wow! 6. Relaxed and dreamy with a nice simplicity to it. 7. Warm and husky vocals w/light guitar. Lovely. *8. Driving Afro funk w/nice style and serious heat style. *9. Soaring vocals, rich and emotional, picks up & moves. 10. Slow and gentle, then just a hint of Afro jazz. *11. Sweet kora/guitar blend, mostly midtempo. *12. Bright but relaxed w/some warm & lovely vocals. | ||
