Album Notes & Community Reviews

While retaining his signature Obeah mysticism and traditional Bahamian vocal delivery, the visionary songwriter adopted a slightly more accessible, electric folk-rock backing for his fifth studio release. The prominent inclusion of brass arrangements and conventional trap drums smooths the erratic, primal energy of his earlier work into a highly unique, deeply spiritual Caribbean pop synthesis.
