Its title means “child” in Malagasy and serves as a tribute to her mother who is of Franco-Malagasy descent.The album Zanaka peaked at #4 on the Belgian Albums (Ultratop Wallonia) chart, at #5 on the French Albums (SNEP) chart, at #17 on the Swiss Albums (Schweizer Hitparade) chart, and at #51 on the Canadian Albums (Billboard) chart.

Will Hermes, writing for Rolling Stone, noted her “flow jump-cutting between pan-African dancehall chat and Europop chirp with matter-of-fact fluency — think M.I.A. as ingénue”. He described the album as “another sly charmer, sung in English but stylistically polyglot”.The album Souldier includes songs such as Flash (Pointe-Noire), Star, Oh Man, Dream, On My Way, Abu Dhabi, and others. It peaked at #1 on the Swiss Albums (Romandie) chart and French Albums (SNEP) chart, at #2 on the Swiss Albums (Schweizer Hitparade) chart, and at #3 on the Belgian Albums (Ultratop Wallonia) chart.
