This one’s worth the price for the cover alone, with Jules looking every bit the rocker, wearing an AC/DC shirt with Fender in hand, flashing the peace sign. The music, then, will come as a bit of a surprise if you’re expecting anything resembling rock. This record is instead full of pop bounce, traditional sounds, and lots of funk. Kamga earns the guitar hero pose from the sleeve, pulling off knotty fusion riffs and beautiful solos, all over some deeply bouncing grooves, especially on the songs “Fa-Mo”, “Simo” and the title track. There’s a really nice mix of dance-oriented material and smooth, melodic soul numbers, all underscored by the roots influences of Cameroon. Spin the uptempo jams from this LP at a club, and watch the crowd lose their shit.
