3.0 good | Erwann S. STAFF | December 1st 20 | Aya's first album, and yah the roots are mucho evidento: afrobeats, R&B, and French pop. The three genres collide into each other in a, gotta say, cohesive way. Each of her influence also get specific tunes where they get to lead the other influences - eg "Oumou Sangare" which sees African rhythms and references dominate the song. What I feared the most actually didn't happen: unbalance. I was expecting a mostly banger-led album with too many filler tracks. The album is not empty of filler tracks, but some smoother cuts ("Karma") act as breather among the bops ("Comportement"). Most importantly, she truly knows how to work her vocal lines into catchy melodies. I wonder if she came up with all the toplines herself. If so, respect, Aya. A good surprise, although a tad too long.
