Scheduled for release on May 17th by the esteemed French label InFiné, MÁDIBÁ NI MBONDI emerges as a groundbreaking collection from Cameroonian singer-songwriter Blick Bassy, with notable collaborations from French-Cameroonian artist Yamé and Australian talent RY X.

This album weaves together a unique soundscape, merging soulful music, intricate electronic compositions, and haunting vocals across various tracks, transcending traditional musical boundaries.The collaboration track Mbondi, meaning 'the water and the flower' in Bassa, showcases a serene and introspective mood through the fusion of Bassy's soulful music and RY X’s distinctive, ethereal pop. It symbolizes the album's creative spirit, offering listeners a journey through dreamy, reflective soundscapes enriched with contemporary synths.

Mbenda, another highlight, marks a creative high point between Blick Bassy and Yamé. It offers a seamless integration of electronic beats and soul-stirring vocals, layered with emotional depth and uplifting moments. The song represents a significant milestone, embodying dreaminess and thoughtful expression in its melody. Todè further showcases Blick Bassy’s knack for marrying the depth of his cultural heritage with modern soundscapes. Singing in his native Bassa, Bassy brings a personal and evocative touch to the album, navigating through a spectrum of chill and vibrant moods. This track stands as a testament to his innovative approach to music, resonating with sentiments of hope and passion. MÁDIBÁ NI MBONDI stands as a cultural and musical exploration, a journey through the emotional landscapes crafted by Blick Bassy, Yamé, and RY X. This album not only highlights their collaborative genius but also affirms their collective contribution to pushing musical innovation forward.
