Very Impressive - I stumbled on this CD via a couple of cuts played on a local school radio station. I was so impressed that I bought the CD. I m glad I did. I m thrilled with it. The only reason that it doesn t get more airplay is that it has few English lyrics, and Americans are close-minded to anything they can t sing along with. This is an awesome CD!
Ms. Kidjo is the new Grace Jones? - Grace Jones in style but holding down her own in an African cultural flavor. The tracks where the percusion is heavy and the lyrics are chanty and rhythmic are the standouts. Her voice is soothing to listen to in the melodic Fon & Yoruba languages...
Consistently Strong - After several listenings, this CD has keeps growing on me. There are several songs here that exude emotion and sensibility. This is one talented lady and deserves all the attention she gets in the US. This album, no doubt, will be considered a classic. (5 Stars)
Fantastic Piece of Music - Angelique Kidjo has succeeded in giving African Music a definite European feeling, she has re-inforced my belief that African Music is a Universal one. This is a good one coming from her, she should keep the flag flying.
