Cameroonian songstress Larinette Bailly, better known as Blanche Bailly has released a new single, this time, enlisting the assistance of Nigerian afro-pop/R&B prodigy Joeboy.
The bubbly Tempoe-produced track features Blanche Bailly delivering her trademark silky vocals in French, English and pidgin/vernacular, in a show of linguistic diversity. Joeboy matched the pace and atmosphere of this track and delivered an impressive guest appearance.
Since her debut in 2015, this is Blanche Bailly’s first collaboration with a Nigerian. This cross-border West African collaboration comes at a very important time and is a very welcome development for those who prefer harmonious relations amongst African entertainment professionals. Blanche Bailly and Joeboy are new-age acts who owe some of their success to the social media app TikTok. They represent a new wave of youthful African acts with extremely high ceilings thanks to how small social media has made the world. This collaboration spells a lot for both acts and the potential for afro-infused music to transcend borders.
