Very pretty music: music for listening, not for dancing., 1 Sep 2004

The vocal harmonies on SEPIA are outstanding: European influences are strongly felt, including classical. Her vocals, which are the most important parts of the arrangements, lean toward the soft ballad side.
This is very pretty music: music for listening, not for dancing.

This is Christian music, 8 Jan 2004

People ought to know, even though this music is from Cameroon, that it is not Afro-pop. The lyrics are all Born-Again Christian ("Be certain that Jesus will lead you to the Way of salvation", etc.) except for "Bayedi" ("Tribute to the Parents"), and very moralizing in tone, if we trust the translations provided in the notes. If you don't mind that, or the fact that the album is marketed in the wrong category, you'll love this voice and the smooth arrangements.

This is a very special album. At first, I liked it but it didn't hit the heart until the third time I heard it. Take a chance on this incredible young musical talent.
