I can’t believe it’s been 10 years, I remember going to Kin in 2014 and the album was in full swing there. Especially the generiques, he really peaked at his generiques, but the only criticism is too much “machine”

I actually really like fally but this album for me didn’t hit so hard, I like some songs like Mikitisa and Service though.

I don't hate him, that's a strong word. But he's definitely disappointed me with his recent output and his fans tend to be obnoxious on social media lol

When he actually tried, he was used to do great music especially with his generiques I love still to this day the Power 001 generique it is really that laid back style who turns Sebene and man Kabuya and Tangofor there delivered nobody hates Fally I think that he is the only Congolese artist of his generation who revolutionized the music industry, being able to be in France charts, being able to make features with Aya Nakamura, Niska, Booba, and also being able to tour in USA be nominated for BET it is actually something great. I think that what Fally non fans who used to enjoy his music like myself miss that hunger that he used ti have of doing always great music because he wanted ti be the number one.  Also the Toi et Moi generique was really good

strong album which in my opinion was not well exploited enough,fally was too obsessed with the shift towards urban music and could not promote some of the good songs like sony,the one with the musicians(i will never forgive leaving guys like maiko in the shadow at expense of some other),especially mokek's which could have been like the "heir" of what is that song called again,the song he was already promoting just after droit chemin

not depression but a moment of doubt,you know when you want your life to progress fast but then it becomes way too fast even for yourself and that you question yourself whether you can handle it,i dont want to go too much into details but it was pretty much it and its happen to some others before him

Believe it or not 99% of the great movie stars, musicians, footballer and entertainemnt people in the industry go to that phrase, can you believe that Ed Sheeran, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Drake, Molise Kean (Italian Ivoirian Player) Neymar and many others have seriously consider quitting ? Like stop doing what they were doing, but they continued and they are there now, it is crazy to see how much people who are successful have been battling costant doubt and second gyeing themselves.

I think that the album would have been much better if he invited many session artists like he did on his first two albums and gave Maika Munan the full control as artisic director of the album. On this album let his band F-Victeam doing the most work in Kinshasa although crediting himself as artistic director and Maika Munan & Leny Bidens contribution not being really big on this album. Just having worked on the few songs that were recorded in Paris with late Ntoumba Minka and Phillipe Guez.

The album is good. But he recorded to much songs for this album and because of that some songs sounding the same. I dont remember exactly which songs were identical to each other but with that they could easily reduce the album to 13/12 songs. However, there were donors who paid to have a song on the album and this being a quick way to earn money with no concerts being there anymore in Europe.

It took me a long time for me to like the album. When listening the album I was regretting my money for buying it. He was crying to much in songs and I was making jokes with my friends that he was Matou Samuel. It me having high exceptions for Ferre Gola's album Boite Noire and the exceptions even getting higher when the Ferre-camp were mocking Fally's album which was received hard harsh criticism on social media (he was lucky that those youtube-analysis who were first neurtral didn't exist yet)


I was seeing Power first as Fally's worst album ever made and was wondering how Fally could record an album like that. But after 2 months I started liking the album slowly and in no time it became my most played Fally album, having the songs Emeraude, Mikitsa, Nourrisson and Terminator as favorite. I used to like Double Clic also alot but on the same time it reminded what my cousin went through with his ex'wife who used to cheat on him. For me it felt like the song was pushing men and women to be unfaithful in their relationships. The song Service didn't make sense in my opinion but was a huge succes back then and made saying to myself that the level of songwriting would drop even more in the coming 10/15 years. The songs We are the world and Likukuma made me really laugh. I think that these two songs are quickly forgotten because of not having videoclips.

The album wasn't promoted well compared to Droit Chemin & Arsenal des Belles Melodie. Like kept promoting these last two albums for 2 years while the promotion of Power already stopped after releasing the single Original and the clips of the album not being convincing like the previous two albums who were of clips of high quality. It's the aura of Fally, his fans and the songs that made promote album itself.

Back in 2010, Fally's staff were talking about a Bercy for 2012. I really wonder how that Bercy would have been with this album and the tour.  The album was before its release announced as a double album "Aller Retour". Retour being the rumba-album and Aller the world-album with multiple featerings. They already had recorded a few songs with artists and even clips. But they never came out

Maybe Fally felt his group was ready to carry the entire album, kinda like how Koffi didn't use guest musicians after Noblesse Oblige

Lol. We like his music.

The volume 2 is very weak, apart from Toi et moi and Double clic, I don't remember listening to the other songs in that volume.
