Pour L’Amour’s 12-tracks feature Kibaro’s breathy vocals fused with pop dance, new wave, psyche percussions, spoken word, and orchestral stylings.

Remastered for this new reissue, the album includes songs taken from four of Kibaro’s albums – Mirrors, Au Soleil, Le Long Du Fleuve Amour and Kiroël.

It follows Emotional Rescue’s recent trio of King Sporty & The Ex Tras 12″ reissues – ‘Haven’t Been Funked Enough’, ‘Do You Wanna Dance?’, and ‘Rock Attack’ – earlier this year.
