Fally Ipupa keeps his twentieth-anniversary run moving as “Délirium” arrives, the title track from his double album XX : Délirium. The song sits on Disc 2 of the 51-track project, which came out through Elektra France and Warner Music France.
At 5 minutes and 9 seconds, “Délirium” gets plenty of room to breathe. But that length is not wasted, because Fally Ipupa uses the space to stretch the arrangement and let the groove settle. It is the anchor piece of the second chapter, so the weight on it is real.
The album itself marks two decades in music for the Congolese star. Yet “Délirium” works as more than a marker of time, since it carries the sound of an artist still pushing his catalogue forward. Fans who have followed the whole roll-out will find this one lands right where the celebration peaks.
