    I thought she was Half Nigerian Half German! Well I guess She must have told you guys that she is French or does living in France makes her automatically become one? I wonder…Well I’m a a big fan I met her in Munich back in 2007 and she is so sweet and down to earth..gotta love her.

  6. DANIELA

  10. who???? folks getting free press these days..lol

  11. African to di bone

    She’s actually half Nigerian (father), half Romanian. And Angel, her name is spelled Ayo.–with the dot beside the “o” or under it. If you leave out the o then you are saying the Yoruba term for a type of board game..fyi

  12. @ 11. Thanx for the info. Edited the post.

    Also, I will be posting different people from time to time because it gets boring looking at the same faces all the time. I’m sure u all agree. There are black celebs all over the world and if I see something of interest I will post it up and give more info.

  13. ***ESSENCE***

    Never heard of her either but cute boots.

  14. African to di bone

    Thanks, Angel. Love the site. What you are doing is great! Show the young generation that there are more artists out there than what BET and the MSM wants to feed us. Maybe now more young people can begin to re-evaluate what “real” talent is.

    PEACE

  15. well...

    @African to di bone romanian? oh i thought it was half-german b/c something about her face reminds me of the german ppl i know

  16. Soul Cry

    Is she the one that has the album ‘strange flower’? …no, I think that’s aya. Anyhow, thanks for showing us something new!

  17. NICNAC

  23. SugarhoneyIcedtea [Addicted to India Arie's new album]

  24. PYT

    ya not hip is her music good?

  25. PYT

    When I was little my uncle who was a Yoruba priest and no I don’t know how he got that gig anyway he started teaching me how to write and speak the language. I’m so sad that we stopped and now I don’t remember as it is beautiful.

  26. Avonelle

    I am a huge fan of Ayo, I have both of her cd’s and love her music.
    Thanks for posting the pictures…I love Concrete Loop.

  27. Umm, never heard of this chick at all

    the fur.? maybe, but its makin me how all of sudden.

    try a stylist hun…maybe you’ll get greater success wen you make a betta comeback in the U.S.

  28. i'mjustsayin

    lmao @ 28 CBREEZIE007

    All Americans care about is style & image. smh… superficial bs. her MUSIC is dope. but whatever…this post will be lost on most.

  29. theComplex

    I love Ayo! <3

  30. Starry

    I love Ayo, she is amazing. Watch youtube her video for ” Help is Coming” it will put a smile on your face.

  31. sassy

    Ive met her at a gig in London on Monday!!!
    Shes really pretty!

  32. CokeBaby

    I heard of her a few years back but her music wasn’t my cup of tea. Good for her for going double platinum in france though, she may blow up in the next few years

    And she got rid of the afro!

  33. Elvira

    Ya’ll ppl need to step up ur game! This singer is real FAYA!!

  34. SIMPLE_MINDED

    And most of them still want catch up… they 2 worried bout the fashion. That’s why I come here for the junk and gossip and go to SOULBOUNCE for the Real Deal.

  35. visha

    @ IMJUSTSAYING your post was not lost on me and i feel you here we favour shallow imagery of looks, clothes etc (see how far Ciara is going to sell records- God help the recession lol) anyway real talent cares for no looks and fancy designer clothes side eye Rihanna (although i like her) think Tracey Chapman Whoopi Goldberg “real talent” yet no care for superficiality.

  36. WESTNDNBEAUTY

    I was just listening to her album Joyful the other day. I must admit I have to be in the mood to listen to it….it’s a cross between Sade’s lovers rock and Bob Marley and the Wailers. But it’s good music though.

  37. slim

    hahahah love that first pic

  38. KAI1030

    Her music is GREAT!! ” Down on my knees, I’m begging you!” LOL!

  39. MNA

    I LOVE AYO!!
    I met her few years back and she was so kind and humble. She performed at the Paradiso here in Amsterdam last tuesday.

  40. skysound

    i like ayo,she’s popular here in france,because she’s humble and her music is good!!

  41. Joy

    Let’s note that Ayo is NIGERIAN and German:-)

    Happy Friday Yall

  42. Joy

    Her album is awesome…by the way!

    I picked it up in Paris. Very thoughtful music.

  43. Ms. Get It RIGHT

    I LOVE AYO! her song down on my knees is the best!! *singing* i’m begging you PLEASE PLEASE dont leave meeeee :-)

    btw she looks cute here

  44. I'MJUSTSAYIN

    @ VISHA

    i agree 100% !yey!

  45. ASAP

    what kind of boots are those?

  46. woop...Vox Populi

    Cool, I like what you’re doing CL. There’s only so many times you can see Beyonce , Rihanna, Ciara et al and saying ‘they look nice’ when they’re out and about.

  47. LOVELYME3

    I LOVE HER ALBUM…
