“Minuit” finds Fally Ipupa embracing the quieter side of Congolese rumba with a performance built around patience, melody, and atmosphere. The track is part of his expansive anniversary project, XX : Délirium, officially released on September 18, 2026, through Elektra France and Warner Music France.
Translated as “Midnight,” the title sets the scene for a song that feels suited to the late hours. Fally delivers his vocals with a smooth and expressive touch, while the slow guitar-led arrangement gives the record a relaxed pace and plenty of room to unfold.
At 8 minutes and 12 seconds, “Minuit” is one of the longer performances on the project. Its extended structure allows Fally to settle into the groove and develop the song without rushing from one section to another, reflecting the expansive approach often found in Congolese rumba.
As part of XX : Délirium, “Minuit” offers a measured and atmospheric moment that highlights another side of Fally Ipupa’s musical direction.
