Our Take

AFRICAN CONNECTION's latest album, "Queens & Kings," is a true celebration of Africa's vibrant and diverse music scene. From the infectious beats to the soulful vocals, this album is a must-listen for anyone looking to add some Afro-pop flavour to their playlist.

The opening track, "Jungle Fever," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its energetic rhythms and catchy hooks. The combination of traditional African instruments with modern production techniques creates a sound that is both nostalgic and fresh.

Tracks like "Afrobeat Empire" and "Queen of Afro-pop" showcase AFRICAN CONNECTION's ability to seamlessly blend different musical styles, creating a sound that is uniquely their own. The eclectic mix of influences, from reggae to hip-hop, makes for a dynamic listening experience that will keep you coming back for more.

However, the album is not without its missteps. Some tracks feel a bit formulaic and lack the creativity that is present in the standout songs. Despite this, "Queens & Kings" is a solid effort from AFRICAN CONNECTION that will surely satisfy fans of African music and beyond.

Overall, "Queens & Kings" is a colourful and spirited album that highlights the talent and creativity of AFRICAN CONNECTION. So grab your dancing shoes and prepare to be taken on a musical journey through the heart of Africa.
