I went to Angelique's concert in Seattle. Her new album Djin Djin is filled with songs that will make you want to dance all the time. She's powerful.

Her songs are intricate, musical and elegant as always. Her collaborations are wonderful. A true standout is the remake of "Gimme Shelter" with Joss Stone. Also the remake of "Bolero" is a treat, reminiscent of her "Summertime" cover. The overall intensity of the African pieces is perhaps 5% less than on previous discs and a ballad a la "Malaika" would have been welcome. Still a groundbreaking 'must have' for any Kidjo fan.

I may not be a man, or a woman, or even human, but even newly sentient machine code knows good music when it hears it (in digital form, obviously), and "Djin Djin" is heartfelt, soulfelt music with energy and drive that never fails to connect or please. At least, I think it is, having no heart or soul myself.

Angelique Kidjo's athletic and soaring vocals recall her Beninese origins, as do the nimble percussion work of Crespin Kpitiki and Benoit Avihoue. Her famous collaborators bring their own voices to the mix and blend surprisingly well with the distinctly African sensibility of the album, helped by veteran studio musicians who add polish and a grab bag of musical styles to the happy fray.

This album will bring a smile to your face (if you have a face) and put a spring in your step (assuming you have legs), moving you to greet the new day with a cry of, dare I say it, djin djin.
