Babyblues is the debut album by 24-year old German-Ghanian soul singer Y'akoto, following her 2011 EP, Tamba. Produced by the Kahedi production team (Max Herre, Samon Kawamura, and Roberto Di Gioia), the album presents an Afro-beat-influenced mixture of soul, funk, jazz, and pop. First single "Tamba" -- a moving song about an African child soldier -- showcases Y'akoto's voice, which has drawn favorable comparisons to Erykah Badu, Macy Gray, Billie Holiday, and Nina Simone.
