It's possible. Maybe that the pressure of him was to high, because of being presented as former songwriter of Koffi and Wemba in the press , but him in reality being up after 3/4 solo albums while his fame came with Signature, him still wanting to prove that he's a big songwriter by writing all songs credited to him, but still not a massive rumba hit coming.

 However, don't forget that arrangers like Maika Munan make a huge difference. A song can have less meaning, but due to the composition becoming a big hit.

Who arranged albums like Signature and Yo Nani? True, I wished Felix worked with Maika Munan. He helped Wenge Musica with Solola Bien, I believe he's better than Al Nzimbi. They should of asked for his help on A La Queue Leu Leu.

Nobody surpass each other. Every arranger has his own style. Maika Munan was good, but at some point his style became monotonious, because he was almost every back in the mid-90s. It's mostly to better to work with 2 or 3 arrangers.

Signature was done by Philipe Guez, Djudjuchet and Cultura itself. Yo Nani, I don't know. But it may Philpe Guez. I don't really like Yo Nani except the two generiques, Complexe and Kito Epula. Wazekwa sung bad on many songs, alot of hors gamme. I wonder how they didn't notice that.

Solola Bien was also arranged by Philpe Guez and Djudjuchet. Maika didn't do every thing on his own.

A La Que Leu Leu was an excellent album like Kibuisa Mpimpa which also arranged by Al Nzimbi. It's just that the huge amount of mabanga and messing up the drums by trying to match it with the programmed one. You can see that Djudju's absence left a void. Did you know that Djudju almost missed out on Kibuisa, because of Al Nzimbi trying to gossip to Jean Pierre Saah that he's a bad drummer (Al Nzimbi having a huge obsession with programmed drums and still being mad about Defao's Tremblement de Terre being done live because of Djudju while him being the arrranger)

Djikapela killed it on this album - when the drum overpowers all the other instruments, then you got a great drummer.

Champion's versatility is extremely underrated

Vraiment.  Aza grand drummer.

So Djudju almost didn't participate in Kibuisa Mpimpa? I've been imagining that album with the programmed drums from A La Une and frankly, it's not really the same.

I'm planning a related post on this, but if Al Nzimbi ever worked with Koffi Olomide, would he give Champion/Titina/Cambodge room on songs like Au Secours, Gilba and Danao? I find that Al works better on albums like Kibuisa and Tremblement de Terre, because I find that his keyboard work blends best with live drumming.

Yeah, Phillipe Guez arranged Yo Nani. His arrangements on the rumbas sound similar to the rest of his work from 2002-04. I have the album, but I only ever regularly spin Dose Unique and Kito Epula. Maybe Hemedy.

Glad I'm not the only one - from Et Apres and Yo Nani - the generique/sebene songs were very good overall, but the rhumbas were very forgettable

It's largely because Felix is not a good singer. If he gave Joss Diena, Vicky Nasdaq, and Stanford Eyilo more room then I believe the rhumbas would be better appreciated. It's like Kibusa Mpimpa, Werrason didn't sing a whole lot on that album yet the rhumbas are classics
