This is the 2019 release from the Cameroon born singer now residing in London. This four track release starts with the title track (meaning My God), sung in her native tongue. This sadly suffers from poor vocals and a musical backing which is uneventful and totally forgettable. "Christmas" unfortunately suffers the same treatment and I struggled to identify anything vaguely seasonal in the song, particularly as in parts it sounded very similar to the title track. Clearly, Francoise has a heart for God as "Need You Now" identifies, although it's the words and not the music that gets the attention. The only song that stuck with me is "Mayega" with its up-tempo feel, it is the only track that stands out after repeated plays. This collection has a limited appeal.
