My new album is African Dream, and that is what it’s all about. The fact that you could see a child on TV and this child is desperate and hungry. Yes the child does need food, but it doesn’t end there, that child, has a brain that could produce a business idea like Facebook, that could build a plane, that child could be anything because a child has that ability," he said.

Inspired by world-renown traditional guitar rhythms of Cameroon, West Africa's most effusive singer/songwriter/producer offers a jazz-based World music album, each song with its own unique flavour. This CD will blow your mind! ‘African soul’, is a treasure mine of African music, graced with a blend of rich afro-Caribbean influences and a compelling twist of effusive western pop. Musically, lyrically and vocally, the album gets two thumbs up! While ‘Ali gets his arms’ drew criticisms from music specialists for its controversially outlandish stylistic variations, ‘African soul’ is a confirmation that brilliant versatility can define an artist. Ten unique stories, ten unique melodies, ten unique masterpieces are here to prove that Wax is the musical revelation of 2008. |

Perhaps the greatest strength of this ALBUM is its originality and effusiveness. Singing in English, French, Duala, pidgin English, Zulu, Yoruba, Tsotsi-taal, the album captures the spirit of globalisation. Acoustic lovers will revere the originality the acoustic Wax sound, and sway with him as he gracefully explores afro-pop, hip hop and R&B with dextrous ease, blending them with his distinct African persona, soul-searching lyrics and unforgettable melodies to pioneer a rare collection of earnest music that reaches to every age and race worldwide. - Afromix.org.
