The gorgeous voice is still there, but he’s strayed far from his mbalax roots. It’s all pretty, but I miss the power of his earlier works. Overdone synths and drum programming don’t help either. 1. Mid-tempo with some nice kora touches. 2. Starts simple, picks up into a light Afro-jazz bounce. 3. Bright and pleasant, a bit too much times. *4.Mid-tempo, catchy w/a nice simplicity. *5. Relaxed, bouncy French homage to women. *6. Nice guitars/bass/perc backing to this happy song 7. French cabaret song w/accordion/drums. It’s ok. 8. World anthem-y sound, but nice instrumental bits at times. 9. Too much programming to this swaying love song. *10. Uptempo w/fast guitars & drums and cool vocals. 1/03 11. Duet w/Pascal Obispo. Pretty, but why? 12. Too synth-y at times, but overall catchy.. 13. Overdone ode to Africa. | ||
