Fally Ipupa closes out his album XX : Délirium with “Miguel Tshis,” a solo cut rather than a pairing. The song sits near the end of the tracklist, which says plenty about how he paced the project. It also leans hard on his voice instead of heavy arrangement.

The record belongs to XX : Délirium, the album that follows Tokooos II and Formule 7 in his run of releases. Elektra France handles the imprint, with Warner Music France behind the licence. That placement matters because late-album cuts often carry the most personal performances.

Fally Ipupa Nsimba, born in Kinshasa, built his name on tenor vocals and rumba. Fans call him the Prince of Rumba, and he has carried that title across ndombolo, soukous and R&B. His career stretches back to the early 2000s, and he has stayed consistent since.

Choosing a rumba-rooted song this late on a long album feels deliberate. It gives listeners a quieter moment before the project wraps. Also, it reminds people where his strength has always lived.
