Following the best-selling albums Florilège and Caraibes, Slaï released Escale in 2011. The zouk artist infuses his album with sounds from his childhood home of Guadeloupe and continues to charm with his island-pop mélange. Predominantly sung in French, Escale includes the first radio single “Autour du Toi,” along with the equally enchanting “Zoukboxe” and “Comment Lui Dire.” – Celeste Rhoads
