Angelique Kidjo - Hope!! (Vinyl 2LP)

Angelique Kidjo's New 2026 Studio Album Hope!! on 2LP: Guests Include Pharrell, Quavo, Ayra Starr, Davido, Nile Rodgers and More.

Angelique Kidjo has announced Hope!!, The full-length follow-up to 2021’s GRAMMY-winning Mother Nature, Hope!! positions Kidjo once again as one of Africa’s most influential and inspiring artists. Kidjo offers up a revelatory body of work across 16 new recordings, transmitting an unbridled joy that also serves as a unifying force, a conduit for healing, and a much-needed antidote to despair in troubled times.

Hope!! also finds Kidjo collaborating with a wide range of artists and reflects a new partnership with Pharrell — who is not only featured but produced three songs on the album — and recently outfitted her in custom Louis Vuitton for the GRAMMY Awards last month. Guests including Quavo, Ayra Starr, Davido, Nile Rodgers, Charlie Wilson, IZA, and PJ Morton appear on the album, which Kidjo has dedicated to her late mother.
