Before you read this blog post, you have to read this one. I'd wait.
Did it zouk you? 😀 The Zouk music genre held me, literally. In many good ways. The ringleader for this was and still is Kaysha. I befriended him through the Museke days. I just thought about how I have still not met him in person or seen him perform live. Cos there would be a lot of zouking wherever he is performing. Zoukmelove.
I think I started liking Zouk a lot, because I have always loved R&B and Zouk is like its African cousin.
Don't Change - 2006
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever made, in my opinion. I can cry just thinking about it. Yes, all near 40 year old me.
Another great song without a music video? Sigh. "My cherie, my love, I'm just a guy that loves making music. You're like a melody to me, you inspire me I gotta admit it". Hmmm, I never composed a song - or made music.
One Love - 2005
Well, Kaysha only really makes love songs. I mean, I cannot imagine a non-love, non-relationship zouk song. Find me one please.
There are a couple of ways to digest this song. Either some of the cheesiest lyrics ever or Kaysha showing that English is his mother tongue. Ati "When i get older, I'll jump up to the sky and Talk to the stars about you. When I get deeper, I'll dive to the bottom of the seas, And get these pearls for you baby". Choose one.
Something Going On - 2006
Thanks for indulging the Zouk blog post. You might want to read this one too.
Merci pour reading it. I always got something going on. But sometimes, I just have to document it. Sadly, I have not done as much as that in my 30s. Okay, over to the music.

"If you let me do my thing, I won't let you down". Good statement no? Sounds motivational. Motivation? If you thought about Kelly Rowland's song of the same name, we're back to square one.
Honorable mentions: Yeap, dude has made a lot of music okay? On Dit Quoi, Love De Toi, On Est Ensemble, Deeper, etc.
