This new release by Kerr Gi Family is a delightful track to listen and party to. It has that swing-n-sway groove your feet can’t ignore; add Barrhama’s raspy voice and the overall texture gives off an almost vintage feel. His voice has an expressive soulful aura about it. As far as their songs Linguere, Teranga and this one go, I’d say Barrhama would be the one to fill in the shoes of the late great Pap Touray of the Super Eagles/Ifangbondi.
Fatou is a fresh composition, quite a bit ‘different’ from the everyday Gambian productions. At 3minutes 18seconds, the track has perfect length for the beautifully laid melodies and the two rap verses of 8 bars each. In the song, Kerr Gi Family give reverence to the virtues of an exemplary African lady, and even if you don’t understand Wollof to get it, the music is good enough to get you moving. I strongly believe that If promoted properly, this song can reach boundless heights.

The producers of the instrumental did a masterful job except for what I think is the lack of cohesiveness between the sabarr drums on the second rap verse and the instrumental as a whole. I think they could’ve been better programmed or even omitted. The two audio signatures in the beginning of the song had me confused regarding the production credits but I later found out through the artwork that was co-produced by Genesis Music and Sunland Music.
