Corneille: The Birth of Cornelius
Copy at Case Memorial Library
Contents: Back to life — All of my love — Liberation — A man of this world — Murder — Foolish heart — Too much of everything — Home is by you — I'll never call you home again — Sweet dependency — Heaven.
Chuck Arnold wrote in People: "In the wake of the success of Senegalese-born Akon on the U.S. charts, Somalia native K'NAAN and Rwandan-raised Corneille have emerged as fresh, important voices from Africa with two of the year's most compelling releases. Corneille, a major star in France, makes his English-language debut with a glistening set of sexy, sophisticated soul-pop that'll win over fans of both Seal and George Michael. In fact, Corneille's ultra-smooth delivery brings to mind a less raspy, more satiny version of Seal on lush midtempo gems like the jazz-kissed 'Back to Life' and the acoustic-guitar-sweetened 'A Man of This World.' Meanwhile he addresses the Rwandan genocide that claimed his family on the poignant ballad 'I'll Never Call You Home Again'" ("Music: Out of Africa," 3/23/09, p. 49).
