Usually I don't go for French rap, because I always thought that the language is too soft for that. K'maro is the first artist to my knowledge who makes French R&B and Rap-Music sound good. He already caught my attention with Femme like U when it was only on radio for promotion. Well done.
I was in Tahiti when I first heard FEMME LIKE YOU. It got so much airplay! Dummy me, didn't buy it when I was there. So I spent months trying to track it down until THANKS TO AMAZON FRANCE, I was able to find it, and when it FINALLY arrived months later from France, I was the Happiest Girl in the World! I could have cried, but it was hot that day!
I only speak minimal French, so I never tire of listening to this album, since it ALWAYS SOUNDS NEW! Incidentally, the second album is great too!
The rap is remniscent of Nelly, and some of the American style he obviously borrowed from! It is very catchy hip hop and ends up sounding SEXY no matter what he is saying! He throws out quite a bit of American words too!
A few months ago, the cd GOT STUCK IN MY CAR CD player...welcome now to the SADDEST DAY OF MY LIFE...I had to use a KNIFE to get it out and scratched the h*ll out of it! So it is BACK ON MY WISHLIST to buy another.
Thank God for my iPod in the meantime!
au revoir!
Actually I've wanted to try this album for once, K'maro is made me laugh on the floor. Not because he can't sing, use of Franglish and low quality songs. He leads the bad stars after Günther as second place.
