Ivorian gospel singer-songwriter Kone Souleymane Kevin Kader Junior, popularly known as KS Bloom, recently launched a new album, KDO.

KDO is a classic blend of energetic Afro-Gospel, uplifting lyrics, and gratitude. This 10-track album, rendered entirely in French, is a birthday gift to KS Bloom's fans that has exceeded expectations, amassing over 500,000 plays across streaming platforms.

From the opening percussion strike of Joyeux Anniversaire, it is clear that KDO is an album that celebrates life, faith, and experience. The album is a collage of African percussion mastery, reggae, and gospel influences, combined with infectious energy, emotion, and passion.

The album’s major highlight track Dans Dons (featuring Nk Divine) stands out exceptionally with its groovy dance-floor-ready Ndombolo vibe and has garnered over 36k streams across the DSPs.

One of the album’s strengths is its combination of high-energy tracks with more reflective moments. Tracks like Catherine est Malade offer a relaxed reggae beat that explores themes of healing, compassion, and the drive to find God. This reflective approach is a trait in the album, with tracks like Leo Sama and Confession showcasing the artist’s vocal range and emotional delivery.

The album’s collaborations are also brilliant, particularly in Apprêtez-vous, which features a studded lineup of M I L O, Yaziel, Elvyn Le Conquerant, Djess, Iron le rappeur, and Leufa. This track is a masterpiece, blending different styles and voices to create a fast-paced and truly unique sound.

On the album, however, it’s the track Medicament that has stolen the show, with close to 300k plays across Spotify and Audiomack.

Featuring Sara Toure & Rolly KASONGA, the track explores the themes of trust, unwavering faith, and surrender to God. Its widespread appeal also showcases KS Bloom’s ability to craft songs that resonate with listeners.

Overall, the KDO album will leave listeners uplifted and inspired. With its unique blend of Afro-Gospel and uplifting lyrics, it strengthens one's faith and belief with a modern, resonating twist, creating a timeless gift that will continue to bless listeners for years to come.
