Princesses Nubiennes is the debut studio album by the Afro-French duo Les Nubians, composed of sisters Hélène and Célia Faussart. Recorded in England, the album incorporates elements of various musical styles, including R&B, neo-soul, jazz, electronic, hip-hop, and West African music. The album's lyrics are almost entirely in French and address themes such as the African experience, nature, and international unity. The album achieved popular success in the United States, selling over 400,000 copies. This success was due to the popularity of the lead single "Makeda," which charted in the top 40 of the Billboard R&B chart and became the first French-language American hit in 25 years. Buoyed by its success in the United States, the record also achieved strong sales in France. The album received rave reviews from most music critics, who praised its production and lyrics, and was nominated for the 2000 Soul Train Music Awards.
