Based in Cotonou, Benin, which at the time was referred to as Dahomey, Albarika Records was founded by the French-born, Benin-based producer and entrepreneur, Emmanuel "Manu" Dibango, who had a significant influence on the local music scene. The label was instrumental in releasing records from some of the region's most prominent musicians during the golden age of African music. Many of the artists signed to Albarika Records were known for blending indigenous African rhythms with Western jazz, funk, and soul influences. This made their sound distinctive and part of a broader movement across West Africa during the 60s and 70s, as music became a form of social and political expression.

Lori Carson has a lot in common with Aimee Mann, but Lori has yet to get the attention that Aimee has. Everything is a moody, atmospheric album, but you can tell that she is holding back. Although Aimee sounds at home with her low-key rock, there's something in Lori's voice that says she wants to raise her voice above a whisper, but she can't quite do it. Her lyrics, though, are very personal and intense. "My first lover beat me black and blue. I was 15 years old. Couple of others, they were cheaters, too. But I never had nobody half as mean as you." It's that sort of writing that has made Lori's career, and that is Everything's strength.
