Reviews

Fourth studio album from the Malian singer is its own language of insinuation and inference, of timbre and chalky sweetness. [14 January 2009]

The third recording by sweet-voiced Malian singer Rokia Traore is pure seduction. [24 January 2005]

By Matt C. Rogers

Parisian performer issues much needed maintenance. The Groove responds in kind. [9 November 2004]
