I Bring What I Love (2010)

"Soundtrack from the motion picture of the same name that witnesses the events surrounding N'Dour on "Egypt"'s world tour, it documents his life during this period, but also tells his story as a man, artist, and humanitarian. The music on the set contains of newly recorded versions of songs from N’Dour's storied career and includes a pair of new songs: the title theme written with James Newton Howard and Martin Davich, and the haunting, spiritual, “Yonnent (The Messenger)” performed in duet with griot Moustafa Mbaye. The re-recordings are different enough to seem new, infused with fresh energy and musical innovation. "I Bring What I Love" walks an interesting line: while it cannot be called a retrospective, it also cannot be regarded as a “new” album. That said, these interpretations carry within them the same uplifting sense of joy and hope that are the hallmarks of his music. For those who do not yet know his recordings, this soundtrack may indeed prove to be their introduction." (AllMusic)
