███▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ - RELEASE NOTES - ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀███
█░ ░█
█░ There's been a back-to-acoustic-roots trend among African ░█
█░ artists recently, and even the big names don't seem exempt. ░█
█░ Salif Keita's done it, and here Youssou N'Dour's at it which ░█
█░ proves to be no bad thing. His recent output has been quite ░█
█░ schizophrenic, divided between albums aimed at a Western ░█
█░ audience and those for his native Senegal, with the more ░█
█░ hardcore m'balax sound that made him popular in the first ░█
█░ place reserved for the African releases. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ While the easy melodies of Nothing's in Vain (Coono Du Réér) ░█
█░ place it far more within the Afro-pop category than much ░█
█░ of his previous work, it's still a real gem, bringing in ░█
█░ traditional musicians alongside his band, as on the opening ░█
█░ "Tan Bi", which works gorgeously, the harp-like kora ░█
█░ intersecting with N'Dour's rhythm section. The keening griot ░█
█░ wail which has typified so much of his work is absent here, ░█
█░ allowing for more subtlety of infection and tone. While that ░█
█░ might be a bit of a necessity as he grows older, it also ░█
█░ reinforces the fact that Youssou is one of the world's great ░█
█░ singers, capable of wrapping and communicating emotion in a ░█
█░ note or phrase even if you don't understand a word of Wolof ░█
█░ (or French, since several of the pieces, like his version of ░█
█░ "Il N'Ya Pas D'Amour Heureux," are in French). And when he ░█
█░ does break into English, on "Look This Way" and "Africa, ░█
█░ Dream Again," it's not the ridiculous, gushing lyrics that ░█
█░ have appeared on some of his more recent discs. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ Yes, there are too many lush keyboards for it to fully ░█
█░ qualify as a true acoustic release, and the low-key tamas ░█
█░ juddering across "Yaru" do sometimes make you wish the ░█
█░ band would kick into high gear, but overall this is N'Dour's ░█
█░ most focused and accomplished disc in a long time. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ Maybe it's a new path, maybe it's a breathing space while ░█
█░ he decides what to do next, maybe he just wanted a change. ░█
█░ Whatever the reason, it works. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ ! Enj0int ! ░█
