Angelique Kidjo – Sings
From the moment track one begun Kidjo impressive by the power within her vocal chords. For the duration of those eleven tracks the listeners own power will become apparent to them like no other moment in their lives.
Her honest tones stir a physical response, as rousing as a call to battle. Backed by powerful orchestral strains and drumbeats that take you over the seas and into other cultures this album has the strength and variety of opera without messing around with all that time stopping vibrato.
Listeners should play it against their impending triumphs, make it the soundtrack to their trials and overcome their fears with the fuelling power of Kidjo’s amazing voice. (SP)
