Album Notes & Community Reviews
The 'King of Ra茂' deliberately sought broader international crossover appeal with 'Kenza', significantly modernizing his traditional Algerian sound. Khaled's incredibly powerful vocal delivery is prominently supported by highly polished, frequently funk-infused pop production and heavily orchestrated, surprisingly Westernized string arrangements.
