Joey Le Soldat 'L'Hivernage'
Burkina Faso rapper Joey Le Soldat's 'L'Hivernage' is the latest single from his forthcoming 'Burkin Bâ' via Akwaaba Music.
<p><strong><a href="http://www.okayafrica.com/2012/09/19/joey-le-soldat-ce-monde-songtonddownload/" target="_blank">Joey Le Soldat</a></strong>, one half of Burkinabe hip-hop innovators <a href="http://waga3000.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Waga 3000</strong></a>, has dropped another track from his forthcoming sophomore effort <em>Burkin Bâ</em>. "L'hivernage" is a melancholy slow burner led by a testament to the rainy season and nature's fertility. It's a move away from the big bass of lead single "<a href="http://www.okayafrica.com/2014/01/09/joey-le-soldat-d-m-d/" target="_blank">D.M.D</a>," and a welcome insight into Le Soldat's eclectic sound. On his latest, rousing female vocals fade in and out as a backbone along with production from <strong><a href="https://soundcloud.com/form-4" target="_blank">DJ Form</a></strong>, which together create a delicate atmosphere, skilfully balanced out by Le Soldat's melodic yet gritty wordplay. <em>Burkin Bâ</em> arrives February 11th via <strong><a href="http://www.akwaabamusic.com/countries/burkina-faso/joey-le-soldat-lhivernage/" target="_blank">Akwaaba Music</a></strong>/<a href="http://www.tentaculerecords.com/" target="_blank">Tentacule Records</a>.
