The sleeve credit that Coco Mbassi provided all the backing vocals on this set attracted me to this album, released in 2012. If you've heard much African music you'll know that Coco is a huge talent whose work in many styles of African music is a must hear. Unfortunately, despite Coco's sterling contribution, the painful truth is that, at least on this CD, Francoise, originally from Cameroon, has a desperately weak voice. Missed notes abound and on songs like "My All" and "Jesus Ressuscite" the effect is all but unlistenable. Occasionally the charm of the swaying rhythm as on "Gloire A Dieu" brings momentary relief but not for long. No doubt Francoise is a great woman of God who is serving the body of Christ with vigour. And she has just released a new album. I can but hope her new one shows a remarkable improvement.
