"Alane" is a song recorded by Cameroonian artist Wes. It was released in May 1997 via various labels as the debut single from the artist's first album, Welenga (1996). The song became a hit across Europe, topping the charts in Austria, Belgium, France and the Netherlands. It is sung in the Duala language of Cameroon[1] though the Tony Moran remix includes English lyrics ("Alane flows like a fountain, running gently to your heart. Alane dances inside me, like a flame in to your arms").

Critical reception

Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "African chants meet state-of-the-art dance beats on this sizzling hot dance track, which has already been firmly entrenched atop the French charts for a couple of weeks."[2] Alan Jones from Music Week declared it a "haunting" single[3] and "likely to be the next Afro-European hit to make the grade here. Wes's expressive but slightly weak vocals are bolstered considerably by a pop/dance arrangement that fits like a glove, while some ethnic-sounding support bolsters the chorus."[4] Chris Finan from Record Mirror Dance Update gave "Alane" five out of five, stating, "With over 2m copies already sold in France, this is certain to cause more than a stir here [in the UK]".[5] A reviewer from Sunday Mirror gave it seven out of ten, adding, "This Euro-stomper with lots of wailing and chanting Afro-vocals is sure to be a huge hit in the nightclubs - and on the Terry Wogan show."[6]

Chart performance

In France, the song was sponsored by TF1,[7] Fun Radio, RTL and the Malongo Coffees. The single spent ten weeks at number-one and remained in the top 50 for 25 weeks, ten of them at the top (and a further 9 weeks in the Top 10.[8])

The song also reached number-one in Belgium (9 weeks at number-one and a further 8 weeks in the top 10[9]), Austria (8 weeks at number-one and a further 9 weeks in the top 10[10]) and The Netherlands (8 weeks at number-one and a further 8 weeks in the top 10[11]) as well as reaching the top 10 in Germany (where it spent 18 weeks in the Top 10[12]), Hungary, Ireland, Israel and Switzerland (10 weeks in the top 10[13]) and number 11 in the UK.

Music video

The accompanying music video for "Alane" was directed by Philippe Gautier. The choreography was created by American-French singer Mia Frye, who had previously created the choreography for Los del Rio's "Macarena". Frye appears in both videos.
