This style comes from mixing all the styles together, playing with my band; The Search, doing the Wilks reggae set, Guy Calhoun - Vibes Guitarist, brings the element to this ghetto country.
This tune, Friends now, speaks for itself!
They say "it's not commercial enough" - lets see. I know people want real music!
He loves you album will follow the release of Friends now single it will be available threw believe digital label in a few weeks but official release will be 01.09.2008 that is when promotion will start on this project He loves you is an acoustic album 10 tunes deep tunes i wrote all these songs under pressure so thats why they are good pressure breaks you or makes you.
Guy Calhoun brings his element to the album with his creative vibes writing many of the music scores on this album.JAH JAH is real he shows me always everydays in my music and my life vibes and meditation..my music is a melody with subject= jah jah..... reality.... consciousness..... awareness..... power..... faith..... love..... pain..... smiles.... tears..... joy..... sadness.... happiness.... which is life.....
so i write and produce songs i have few songs so i just went to the song bank that jah jah has blessed me to write and sing ....i cleaned them up from demo's recorded album at home in a week and mixed it and said yeh thankyou jah jah you are real and with me i feel you... this album is acoustic with a little electric guitar and classic keys you know no drums just vibes this vibe just a vibe music is simple melody guy calhoune provides me with 2 music scores talented guitarist! love is real and so his jah jah babylon will fall build on sand so it will weaken jah bless.
the track "look into yourself" the music came from angelo brushini session guitarist for massive attack
who wanted me to front a band with him .....he wanted me to take 25% publishing for writing the song
and singing it..well you know that rasta don't work for no one.....only jah jah
