Grégoire and
Joyce Jonathan, Cameroonian singer/songwriter
Irma funded her debut album,
Letter to the Lord, through the assistance of hundreds of fans impressed by several YouTube performances of her self-penned compositions. Influenced by the likes of
Ben Harper,
Michael Jackson, and
Eric Clapton, its 12 English-language tracks stick to the acoustic soul sound that won her an army of admirers, as evident on the lead single, "I Know." ~ Jon O'Brien
