Rokia Traoré has unveiled the official music video for "Ilé," a song from her newly released album Né So. The video was directed by Romain Carciofo. You can watch it below.

NPR calls Né So a "gorgeous new album" from a "fantastically gifted" artist. The Times, in its four-star review, says: "Traoré has made the album of her career ... This accessible yet sophisticated album offers its own defiance against hard times." Uncut exclaims: "Brave, challenging and arrestingly original, Traoré may just have gone and made the finest indie-rock album to emerge from arguably the world's most musical continent."

Traoré takes her Né So tour to several cities across France starting with a sold-out show at Cent Quatre in Paris next Thursday, February 25, followed by stops in Amsterdam, Brussels, and Geneva. She heads to the United States in late March for shows in New York City, DC, and Savannah. Traoré has just added a new show at Le Trianon in Paris this Octorber.

To pick up a copy of Né So, head to iTunes or the Nonesuch Store, where CD orders include a download of the complete album at checkout, and the HD digital version of the album is available to purchase.
