Bio

On her newest single, “Sunlight To My Soul”, five-time Grammy Award winner Angélique Kidjo collaborates again with some of the biggest names in music. Written by the legendary Diane Warren (a multi-award-winning industry veteran who’s penned songs for icons like Whitney Houston, Cher, Mariah Carey, and Rihanna), “Sunlight To My Soul” brings Angélique Kidjo’s luminous voice and force-of-nature energy to a full-hearted outpouring of gratitude and joy. With production from Shizzi (a Nigerian producer who’s worked with Fireboy DML & Ed Sheeran, DaBaby, Meek Mill, and more), the unstoppably radiant track features the soul-stirring harmonies of the Soweto Gospel Choir—a world-renowned South African group who first performed with Kidjo at a 2003 benefit concert hosted by Nelson Mandela.

Built on a bright cascade of intricate African rhythms and sounds, this newest release from the celebrated Beninese singer uses her incredible voice, beginning with a crescendo from the first seconds, to build a rise in power that envelops the audience in warmth and joy. Diane Warren’s lyrics add a touch of courage and optimism, making every listener feel connected to the light. “Sunlight To My Soul” ultimately celebrates the unequaled sustenance found in our connection with others. “In the same way that we need the sun to live, we need the caring warmth of love to keep us going,” says Kidjo. “Whether it’s the love you feel for your mother or child or brother or partner, that love gives us strength in every way.”
