About this release
Florence Adooni’s A.O.E.I.U. (An Ordinary Exercise in Unity) brings Frafra gospel traditions into a highlife setting shaped by producer Max Weissenfeldt. Her voice leads seven tracks featuring layered backing vocals, syncopated guitars, brass, percussion, bass and synthesisers. Jimi Tenor contributes to several recordings, including ‘Vocalize My Luv’, which he co-wrote with Adooni. The title track extends beyond ten minutes, while ‘Mam Pe’ela Su’ure’ and ‘Uh-Ah Song’ connect the album’s vocal focus with its rhythmic movement. Recorded largely at Joy Sound Studios in Kumasi, the Philophon release brings Adooni’s singing together with an ensemble approach to highlife and funk.
