Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Jamaican vocal legend smoothly navigates the transition from classic roots to the emerging digital dancehall era. Produced alongside Gussie Clarke, the album pairs his signature, relaxed croon with crisp, synthesizer-accented backing tracks that dominated mid-80s sound systems.
