Blick Bassy

"Leman"

(Four Quarters, 2009)

-----------------------------------

A super-mellow acoustic-pop debut from this wispy Cameroonian crooner. The style is descended from crossover-y superstars such as Salif Keita and Youssou N'Dour, although Bassy seems content to linger amid less adventurous arrangements, crafting quiet, lulling tunes full of gentle rhythms and demure sprinklings of African instruments such as the kora and calabash. The style suits his voice, which is dreamy and calm. It's a pretty-sounding record that many will find rich as well as relaxing -- the more I listen, the more I like. Definitely worth checking out.
