Our Take

In an industry oversaturated with cookie-cutter albums, JEAN-JACQUES ROJER effortlessly stands out with Sokoin. This eclectic mix of genres is a breath of fresh air, blending funk, jazz, and world music in a way that feels both nostalgic and innovative.

From the infectious grooves of "Boogie Nights in Benin" to the haunting melodies of "Midnight in Marrakech," Sokoin takes listeners on a musical journey that is as unpredictable as it is captivating. ROJER's virtuoso guitar playing shines throughout the album, effortlessly weaving in and out of complex rhythms and time signatures.

The production on Sokoin is top-notch, with every instrument and vocal line crisp and clear. It's evident that ROJER and his band poured their hearts and souls into this record, creating a sonic landscape that is both intimate and larger than life.

While some tracks may veer into the realm of musical indulgence, Sokoin never loses its sense of fun and playfulness. ROJER's quirky charm shines through in every note, making this album a joy to listen to from start to finish.

In a world where mainstream music can often feel formulaic and soulless, JEAN-JACQUES ROJER reminds us that true artistry knows no boundaries. Sokoin is a testament to the power of music to uplift and inspire, and is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates creativity and originality in their music collection.
