NAKAMURA

With its pithy denunciation of a man that has been spreading lies about her, \"Djadja\"—the first single from Aya Nakamura\'s sophomore album—is as much a symbol of female empowerment as it is measure of Nakamura\'s chart-busting success. With its punchy Afrobeats and melodic R&B, *NAKAMURA* offers additional delights: the tropical \"Copines\" builds an unlikely rhythmic chorus around her shaming of lecherous men, \"Ça fait mal\" enlists dubby bass for her story of a break-up and the pacey \"Dans ma bulle\" flowers into an anthem of independence.
