8th studio album by Angélique Kidjo who continues her fon music, which has become less orchestrated (except from on the title track) or perhaps less pop-minded, at least seen from a Western perspective. This has a nice warm vocal jazz feel to it, and I I generally like this more than her Ayé dance-pop, which tended to be a little over the top - production-wise.
