This album was hyped big from the day he left Maison Mere and I must say he has delivered....Here are the stand out songs for me from Retirada:
*you need a good sound system to enjoy the musical aspects of this album*
☆VOL 1:
● D De D (im big with melodies when it comes to rumbas and this song does it for me...good arrangements and the duet at the end was just perfect....lyric wise it's your typical love song but well sang)
●Abeti Faux (another well performed duet but this time with a female singer who sounds like Claudia Bakisa with a catchy chorus....the melody reminds me of Les Marquis song)
●Affection (Diego Milito finally doing what he wasn't given a chance to do in MM...beautiful song. Heritier's voice on this song really gives goosebump...nice vocal from his musician at the end)
●Bondela Jires (some salsa for those who like these type of music)
●Give me (This song will be big for English speakers like myself...I'm surprised that he can sing so naturally with better English accent than Fally, Ferre or any other Congolese artists who in the past attempted to sing in English...the beat and short lyric of the song was done just perfect...catchy and simple afro beat song)
☆VOL 2:
● Marlene De Reve (group song with vocals from his musicians....Diego Milito well used....featuring from Grace Mbisi annoying laugh as if saying her enough wasn't enough)
●Je suis Jeune Je suis Wata ( my type of seben with Celeo and Bill type duet between Kunzardo and Yumbi)
●J'aime Mon Mari (my favourite song...beautiful duet with Diego Milito and the instruments and chorus just wow....downside is that the vocals of Diego and other sounds as if it was recorded over the phone..strange )
●Cala Boca (another club type song but this time in french with another catchy chorus....his producer knows how to avoid monotony and this album it's full of diversity...again he sounds natural singing in french)
●Cure d'Ame (no comment...a shout out to his petit Fabro)
●Toure ya Gaga
●De Luxembourg (The female singer has a nice voice...Padache, Champion and Lofombo leading )
●Carriere d'Honneur (seben na seben....basically a cd version of what we've been hearing from the concerts..if Brandon thought is the number 1 animateur in team wata then he should think again cos Kunzardo is everywhere)
●Magastar (Diego Milito again shining)
●Brusquement (reminds me of Miels song from Malewa)
This album has the Droit Chemin feel....a classic and I have a feeling this album will take him far and do wonders on his international career especially with David Monson....now watch Koffi release something to steal the spotlight lol
-
yumbi really surprised me started in his typical mongo accent a la lobeso then went to bill's style with so much ease,his voice sounds more polished than when in tonya tonya
i have a feeling wata rewarded milito with that much participation in return of songs milito gave him,a very talented composer that guy
hope this will boost his fame a bit,out of that group of fabregas robinio deplick and him who were once leaving with kakol and washing his clothes lol he is the one whose career took longer to get on track
-
Milito wrote a lot of songs in Retirada I heard...talented guy
-
Thanks for review...
-
I actually taught Fabregas was about to sing in the album when Heritier shouted him out. Diego Milito is a really talented artist. He might be the Heritier of La Team Wata.
-
I have a feeling its not a flop. Do the rumbas have some guitar solo licks in them?
-
Nice review. Seems Milito composed quite a number of songs on the album, no wonder he was boasting about his input and lack of recognition for it at Maison Mere.
-
yeah heritier trusted the same group of writers he had already vigas,fiston youlou, djodjo lina,mosaka,milito,pida star,plus a new guy who arrived in the game this year and is selling to all the big guns
haha those guys have easy life in terms of writing they just have to buy(without even necessarily paying) except some fun songs which they can do themselves
-
Good review jv thanks
