Additional information
Personnel: Youssou N'Dour (vocals); Lamine Faye (acoustic guitar); Mamadou "Jimi" Mbaye, Pape Oumar Ngom (guitar); Thierno Koite (alto & soprano saxophones); Issa Cissocko, Charlie Lagond (tenor saxophone); Ken Fradley (trumpet); Lee Robertson (trombone); Ibrahima Cisse, Jean-Phillipe Rykiel (keyboards); Habib Faye (bass, keyboards); Fallilou "Gallas" Niang (drums); Assane Thiam (Senegalese talking drum); Babacar "Mbaye Dieye" Faye (Senegalese percussion, background vocals); Billy Congoma, The Sandial Assiko Band (percussion); Ousseynou Ndiaye (background vocals). Recorded at Xippi Studios, Dakar, Senegal in October 1991. Senegal native Youssou N'Dour is one of the most recognized figures on the world-music stage. EYES OPEN, the singer's first album for Spike Lee's 40 Acres & A Mule record label, garnered N'Dour a Grammy nomination, and further enhanced his reputation. N'Dour's mellifluous tenor sounds superb here, and the musical melange of the record continues the artist's fusion of native African rhythms and melodies with Caribbean, jazz, and pop styles. N'Dour's lyrics address everything from media ("Things Unspoken"), military ("Useless Weapons"), unwanted childbirth ("Couple's Choice"), and the difficulties of African identity ("Country Boy"). The musical palette of EYES OPEN is quite broad, and while there is a lessened presence of traditional African elements (which are still prominent, but are blended artfully into the mix), those intrigued by N'Dour's attempt to create a new global pop will find much to appreciate here.
Reviews
Rolling Stone (9/3/92, p.67) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "..N'Dour has created a musical context that's as large with possibilities as his sinuous, spine-tingling singing...lays claim to the universe of pop while never dropping its West African accent.." Entertainment Weekly (6/12/92, p.56) - "..it sure is ambitious: ingredients in this brew include pop, jazz, fusion, Philly soul, rap, crunching rock, tribal drums, gentle acoustic balladry...It would all be showing off if N'Dour didn't have a simple genius for melody.." - Rating: A- Q (7/92, p.98) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "..his best work in ages...a confident album rich in ideas and rhythms.." Down Beat (7/92, p.46) - 4 Stars - Very Good - "..truer to his conception of mbalax percussion music than anything he's recorded...his songwriting shows increasing confidence...EYES OPEN lets Youssou be Youssou.."
