Dajla's first album is already announced as one of the most important records of the year. In 2005 J-L Brossard, the programmer of the Transmusicales Festival, was the first to realise the talent of the project and decided to book her despite the fact that there was no record out at the time. The rumour quickly spread around the young woman. Dajla and Benji's "Soul Poetry" announces the return to a kind of timeless and universal soul. Since the first moments of the album the feeling is given, with sophisticated arrangements and subtle references. "Soul Poetry" keeps a foot in the past, but looks towards the future. Dajla doesn't care about the barriers of style, going from classical soul to spoken word without losing herself in the process, without artifices. Sometimes the music opens the doors to electronical arrangements like in 'Routine', but without having to choose between acoustic warmth and technology. In the end, Dajla and Benji offer a first album that's really far from the usual R'n B gimmicks, whilst giving a kind of alternative in the musical landscape.
