THE 
June 3, 2009 Music Spotlight – Zaho
Love muffins, let me introduce you to a new artist that goes by the name of Zaho. She’s an Algerian R&B singer living in Canada who has managed to make a name for her self not only in France, but in also in other parts of the world. Her lyrics are in french, but regardless of the language her vocals are stellar! She can easily hold her own against many of the chart-topping R&B divas we have here in the states. After doing a few guest features in the French rap scene, she garnered enough attention to pursue her dreams of a solo record. Her debut album, Dima was released in 2008.
“Incomprise” and “Assassine” in my opinion, are the two stand-out tracks on the album. “Incomprise” is a nice mid-tempo R&B song with a strong baseline and the hard-hitting “Assassine” could easily be compared to any Timbaland production. She recently won both the 2008 MTV Europe Music Award for Best French Artist and the 2009 NRJ Music Award for French Revelation of the Year.
If you’re looking to venture out and expand your musical horizons, Zaho is a great artist and I think you will enjoy her. Take a listen to the tracks below, and to find out more about Zaho, please check out her website!

For some reason, I can totally hear Brandy on that Assassine track. I bet she would murder it.

Hilarious, I was just listening to her album this morning at the gym!
My favorite songs are ‘Dima’, ‘Kif’n'Dir’ ‘Tout Vibe Bien’ ‘Incomprise’ and ‘Assassine’.
If you like her you should listen to Shy’m. Her new album, ‘Reflets’, is so good!
