Angelique Kidjo's album Aye, which was released in 1994, is a timeless masterpiece that showcases Kidjo's unique style and musical talents. The album is a fusion of various musical genres, including funk, jazz, reggae, and traditional African rhythms. Kidjo's powerful voice and lyrics add a touch of authenticity to the music, making listeners feel as though they are transported to Africa. Aye is a celebration of African culture and showcases Kidjo's pride in her heritage. The album features collaborations with other African artists, including Papa Wemba and Branford Marsalis, adding layers of diversity to the already versatile sound. Aye is a must-listen for anyone who loves world music and appreciates the beauty of African culture and its music.
Aye features five numbers recorded at Prince's Paisley Park studios, and they reflect the punchy guitar and synth-dominated Minneapolis sound. The other five tunes were recorded in London, with both a dance-soul flavor and nice horn backing and arrangements. With Aye, Angelique Kidjo links all her interests in a respectable pop effort with some African elements.
