Dignity feat. Yemi Alade
On the official single off the album, “Dignity,” Kidjo and Nigerian singer-songwriter Yemi Alade connected so effortlessly and sync with laidback vocal lining singing about the women they’ve become and for the empowerment of women, also praises who raised them, their voices weaving between pop and Afrobeat infused.
arranged peacefully in a call and response between the two, the track hangs on the impassioned refrain, “Respect is reciprocal” as an anthem of female empowerment, the message is understated but resolute.

Africa, One of a Kind feat. Mr Eazi and Salif Keita
On “Africa, One of a Kind,” Nigerian superstar and Banku singer Mr Eazi joins Malian Grammy Award winner and legendary Salif Keita to reimagine Keita’s 1995 song “Africa.”
Where some write songs to represent area codes or neighbourhoods, Angélique Kidjo, Keita, and Mr Eazi address those who claim allegiance to the entirety or whole of the continent, celebrating a pan-Africanist pride and love that recognizes no borders.

Omon Oba
“Omon Oba,” with appearances by Beninese artists Lionel Loueke and Zeynab, takes its old-school feel from Zimbabwean township music pioneered in the early 1930s, and “Take It or Leave It” is unmistakably influenced by the urbane tones of highlife, with an amusingly frank verse courtesy of EarthGang’s Olu.
