Pros: Best French Import Since Champagne!
Cons: none
Summary: It was a "love at first sight" kind of vibe. From the moment I heard "Makeda" on the radio, I was hooked. I didn't know what they were singing because it was in French, I just knew I had to have it.
Funky. Fresh. Smooth. ... read more

Pros: Incredible, like a bubble-bath for the soul.
Cons: None. Language difference isn't even a con, it's a PRO!
Summary: While looking for a gift for a French friend of mine, I wandered into a general store. "Embrasse-Moi" (of this CD) was playing on the sound system, and I ended up buying two copies: one for her, and one for me. The more and more I listen to it, ... read more

Pros: Ultra-cool and you will be too
Cons: "Sugar Cane" is Not Sweet
Summary: I found out about this album when college friend and fellow epinionator, Cormsypoos sent me a cassette along with some photos she had promised. I think she considers my musical taste something of an enigma- sometimes we agree wholeheartedly but ... read more

Pros: great album all around
Cons: none
Summary: Well, what can I say except this album is a wonderful blend of jazz, r&b, and I love it. The one song many people may know about is "Makeda", but the entire album is full of smooth beats and sexy French and English licks.

Pros: Unique & Funky
Cons: They do 2 songs in English but should stick w/ French
Summary: This album is a must. If you haven't gotten it yet, pick it up and then bless someone for Xmas too! Makeda is the jam you may have heard and the bass is definitely kicking but Demain the remix is even better. If you're lucky, pick up the newer release ... read more

Pros: Soulful, honest, responsible
