Congo-born, Belgium-raised and Paris-based, Zap Mama singer Marie Daulne is the worldbeat aesthetic personified. SUPERMOON combines African, pop, dance, and funk influences into a uniquely appealing form of pan-global rock & roll that appeals to the head and the hips simultaneously. Highlights include the slinky "Toma Taboo" and the hypnotically cross-rhythmic arrangement of the haunting "Go Boy." Guests include the Good the Bad and the Queen's Tony Allen and American R&B star Me'shell N'degeocello.
Industry Reviews
[The] lyrics, most written in English and all drawn from Daune's vivid life experiences...are bold, brave and powerfully life affirming.
For culture vultures, it's an international feast.....A winning lazy-afternoon soundtrack. -- Grade: B+
