Search - Princess Erika :: Tant Qu'Il Y Aura

I'd give it six stars if I could....

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I'm bilingual, so that helps, I catch enough of the lyrics to make it meaningful---"Qui Permittez Moi Apporter Mon Fardeau---il y a personne! Il y a personne!" (who will help me carry my burden? no-one, no-one") Nouvelle generation, les filles et les garcon, cherche la solution, un nouvelle nation......(A new generation, the boys and girls who are looking for a solution and a new nation.....)She is better than Lauryn Hill, better than Les Princesses Nubiennes,(she actually wrote their American hit "Makeda") but she hasn't gotten the American exposure she deserves, hence, you have to buy the export which is expensive but worth your dollars. If you want Afrocentric, life-affirming lyrics, well-written and charmingly sung lyrics, this is the album for you. I hate to tell you how bad she makes other American RB divas look! Instead of whining through her nose about love she actually sings. Buy this album and you'll be very happy and give this Afro-French diva her due. And hope that she has a new album soon! Listening to her album is kind of like watching "Diva" but without the attitude!"
