Power "Kosa Leka"

Power "Kosa Leka" is the third studio album by Congolese singer-songwriter Fally Ipupa, released on 8 April 2013. The album contains 26 tracks and marks his final collaboration with producer David Monsoh. Power "Kosa Leka" is a blend of Congolese rumba, ndombolo, hip hop, and contemporary R&B, and was supported by singles "Emeraude", "1000% Mawa", "Anissa", "Skype", "Ndoki", "La vie est belle", "Amour Assassin", "Double Clic", "Kosa Leka", "Service", "Hustler Is Back", "Nourrisson", and "Stop à la Guerre". Though not as commercially dominant as his earlier releases, it sold 30,000 copies in its debut month.

Background and release
Before the album's release, on 12 December 2012, he issued the first single "Sweet Life (La vie est belle)", which was initially meant for his forthcoming international album. However, the track was later excluded from that project and instead served as a prelude to Power "Kosa Leka". "Sweet Life (La vie est belle)" fuses Congolese rumba with elements of hip hop and R&B, giving it a more modern and widely appealing feel compared to the rest of the tracks, which leaned more toward traditional rumba and ndombolo, layered with keyboards and programmed rhythms that created a "perfectly smooth, syrupy atmosphere". The track is notable for its heavy use of mabanga, a common Congolese practice of mentioning or praising individuals within songs for payment. In February 2013, during an appearance on Trace Urban's Guest Star, Ipupa announced that Power "Kosa Leka" would include collaborations with artists from various backgrounds, including a song titled "Sex'plosif" featuring American rapper Eve.'' ==Track listing==
