RAS SEMPAH & ROYAL SOUNDS
I was fortunate enough to preview the first notable
EP of this young, vibrant London-based band.
Featuring 6 tracks of Roots and Nu Roots reggae,
it is a well-designed and enjoyable piece of work.
Ras Sempah, avid songwriter and singer is capable
of fluctuating between sweet Lovers' Rock, Roots
and Digital without much difficulty. Although he
is still searching for his sound and signature as an
artist, he holds all the keys for success and will not
hesitate to utilise them.
Entirely produced, played and recorded by the
talented Royal Sounds brothers, Ajani and Gyasi,
this EP carries clear messages of love, unity and
spirituality. Furthermore, the musical and vocal
diversity and harmony of this compilation is a very
encouraging start for the prolific Royal Sounds
'Family' who represent and gather the minority
of today's London youth who hold good reggae
and Jah in their heart. If you have not heard from
them in my previous articles, this your chance to
witness the beginnings of what will soon become
a phenomenon.
