Formule 7 WHAT A GÉNÉRIQUE!!
-
This album's pretty good at the moment. I especially love Mal Accompagné and Alliance.
-
Formule 7 WHAT A GÉNÉRIQUE!!
Yeah Formule 7 Generique is definitely gonna be a hit on the dancefloor, solid Generique.
-
The GÉNÉRIQUE is amazing
-
Now I’m excited to hear it
-
The seben Zany is also amazing too

Zany a generique?

It’s a sebene song

It’s a sebene song
Im actually surprised haha. First sebene song from fally since 2015 if we count that F Victeam album. Outside of that i dont think he's ever done a sebene song on any of his solo albums before. Formula 7, Zany, is there any other generique/sebene songs on the album?

OK... I was finally able to listen to the generique. For the guys that said the generique was amazing, are we listening to the same song? It is so monotonous, just like his recent concerts. Even Ecole was a lot better. Come on guys that was so disappointing, but I shouldn't be surprised at this point.
-
It might be too early to say, but I think fally heard our cries about rumba and good Congolese music that’s not urban. He even sampled Mario by Franco!

He did one on Droit chemin.

That's your opinion.. but for me it's a Fally generique so if you were expecting those aggressive generiques then naa it's not for you. if you don't like it then listen to Zany. Formula 7 is definitely better than Ecole.
-
I can say this album is definitely an improvement from Control, I like Control but I feel like Control was kinda rushed in some sense just so he could release a rhumba album for the rhumba fans and then go straight back to working on Tokosss 2 since he started promoting Tokooos 2 while promoting Control. but with does one he put more effort in.
-
I'm enjoying this album. I'm glad we have Legende and Formula 7 to play during the holidays.

SMH Fally really gave us some weak generiques, Fally is too selfish for my liking. Like damn give your singers space like how Koffi did you, there is talent in his group but he didn’t want to give them vocals for whatever reason and when he does it’s only one vocal where they basically sing names instead of lyrics.

Not defending him at all, but todays system of Congolese music is like that now, his singers got decent enough of space. but if you look at all albums nowadays especially 5th generation they don't like to give their singers space, Fabregas's last album Cible his singers didn't even sing outside vocals,Ferre doesn't give his singers space either, Robinio definitely doesn't I've seen his group, I see Heritier going down the same route lool and don't get me started with Koffi. As sad as it is groups are now fully centred around the leaders it's not the 90s or 2000s anymore sadly.

Nah Ferre, Fabregas and Hertier all give their singers space. Heritier even did two duets with his singers in MAMD. Fabregas did surprise me in Cible when he gave no one vocals when it wasn’t promoted like that at first with the Fabregas vs Light Music theme and he released Bis Encore with Bebe Boudchou.

Fally gave his singers a whole album and two years ago gave them an EP if that's not space then I don't know what is. You just Fabregas gives his singers space but then said in cible they didn't get vocals lol that's not space. Ferre's singers don't get space either, Fally's singers sang on this album.

I wish they gave their band members room to sing. Can’t be monotonous on every track.

That generique is rubbish, all over the place and too much change of pace. Just finish CD1, a lot of songs sound like I heard them before. Lack of inspiration.

Agreed, I'm halfway through the album and it's looking like Fally's worst album yet. I'm very disappointed

the debate about generiques goes to show that generiques is probably the hardest thing in congolese music,sometimes you'll be served lethargic progressive generique which kinda has an overall vibe or you dont really like it but by experience you know that it will work in parties when you are expecting straight to the point generique,sometimes when you want balanced danceable generique you get a kung fu generique with the drummer breaking his sticks several times during recording lol,sometimes you sense that generique has potential but the result is mehhhh due to poor recording,sometimes the sound is perfect but no catch animation,no catchy solo...it probably explains how zaiko is one of the most consistent in making people of all type of tastes like their generiques,there is some sort of mix of every type in the way they play it

And the thing with generiques these days you can't satisfy everyone, you will have majority liking it and another majority hating it to death. The feedback on social media is they're loving it.

Yeah - from what we've gotten for like 10 years now overall I quite like it. You guys can least appreciate the clean solo licks from Simeon Solo, kiekie tough crowd...

Loool bro like I said you can't satisfy everyone, me personally I like it.

This man has run out of things to sing about, Papa Wemba was right lol….just repeating the same thing and lyrics. I know his fan will defend but deep down they know this album ain’t it.
-
lol i wonder what my man has done to women, all my little cousins are like "he'll kill us of pleasure its the best album ever in congolese music"
-
Honestly the generique and even seben are both bad, I am a hardcore Fally fan but no this is not it …….. those atalakus are washed and the beat changes were not necessary at all.
This is below Ferre’s Ekoyebana which is not even good, below Koffi’s mbembe and it will be surpassed by Fabro’s upcoming generique and then Balle De Match will completely delete this in our minds……..I am really sad.
-
Is it only me who could just tell that Kabuya would’ve raised the level of this
-
Balle De Match - please don’t disappoint as well.
-

I thought so too but from what he has been recently singing in feats, his finished like those 2 (Idantite and Tango Fore)
-
I am a diehard Ferre fan so I am always unfairly harsh on Fally but I have to say I am enjoying Kit complet, Honorable, Je t'aime, Doc Jeff and Coeur Amourex. They are the type of rhumba that reveals me to myself....I don't want to get ino the generiques but you realize there is a problem when some of us who are always lambasting monotony from certain artists come here to praise and defend the same monotony. Like they say in Swahili nyani haoni kolunde meaning ostriches love the sand..........
-
The song Afsana kind of reminds me of those Zouk & Kompa songs. To some extent Kizomba too.
-
I just finished the first volume. Only the first 2 songs caught on. But god it was difficult to listen. I really sad how the genre has gotten.
-
Balle De Match - please don’t disappoint as well.
Eagerly waiting for that album.
-
Kiekie so as soon as one person says the album isn’t good you then have other people decide to join the band wagon and say the album isn’t good ehhh.
-
From the first volume the songs I liked were : Eternite, Bakalos, Noctambule, MH, Coeur Amoureux. Need to relisten but these were nice, not all of them sounded brand new but were good still.
-
Kiekie so as soon as one person says the album isn’t good you then have other people decide to join the band wagon and say the album isn’t good ehhh.
And the converse is true. When the first guy said it's Fally's best album, the chorus was how good it is. Then reality set in and the honeymoon was over when a keen objective ear took a different opinion. I think guys may be listening to different albums here. The album is not spectacular in my opinion neither is it hopeless. Fally has sung better before but for me I am loving some of the rumbas so I'll keep my peace
-
The second volume had like 2-3 songs I liked. Not gonna lie this was a tough listen. Not sure If I’m ready for volume 3.

The US maybe got a different album. How many sebenes are on your copy? I am kidding but yeah I was looking forward to it but it’s just overwhelming.
