ALBUM OF THE MONTH
BLACK ROOTS: "GHETTO FEEL"
TRACK OF THE MONTH
SHAGGY - IF U SLIP U SLIDE
The Bristolian roots
representatives have been
making inspiring vibes
since the 80s. With this
new release comes yet
another meaningful and
intimate compilation of
sound. Their motivating
melodies throughout are
not only aimed at uplifting
those with daily struggles,
but also carry interesting
political stances that the
band have been voicing
since their beginnings.
An impressive follow up to
their last success with 'On
the Ground'.
Black Roots from Bristol release their
new album Ghetto Feel.
Our favourite, Grammy
award-winning reggae/
dancehall guru is back with
the third single release off
his most recent album,
'Out Of Many One Music".
Together with the fabulous
Melissa Musique, the song
is a light-hearted and
uplifting admittance of the
singers' feelings for each
other. Leave behind those
techy music attitudes and
enjoy some Shaggy lovin'!
Shaggy is back with a brand new single
featuring Melissa Musique
Since their beginnings in 1988, the band has been spreading
positive vibes worldwide. On top of their musical creativity,
they also take pride in using strictly analogue production,
creating an authentic rootsy sound.
Groundation boasts a unique sound, whilst also spreading
an organic and ethical message about culture and society,
evident in their choice of lyrics. The latest album, "A
Miracle", released last month, is "an ode to the female
spirit" but also a touching reflection of Stafford's (one of
the founders') own little miracle coming into their world. A
personal and positive sound that reggae fans will applaud.
