Album: Slum in Dub
African Musuem/ Tads Records
Artiste: Gregory Isaacs
Genre: Reggae/Dub

Creating a bridge between superb production in simplicity and smooth layering of reverb and echoes, producers Prince Jammy and Isaacs himself carries listeners on a musical journey comparable to no other.

The album spins as a relaxing compilation sprinkled with glimpses of Isaacs’ vocals and a breezy island-esque undertone. Originally released in 1989, the revamped Slum In Dub is soaked with the soul-suave persona of Isaacs and riddled with a sound that is both hypnotic and euphoric. Having the drum and bass rocking steadily to the keyboard’s melodies, Slum’s fourteen-track whisper of a masterpiece, paints a landscape of
heartbreak, knee-deep in romanticism and victorious celebration of the here and now — all without uttering a word as each track stands as a gem in itself that’ll have you yearning for more.

Presented with laid-back characteristics, the opus possesses the ability to be explored as both an enjoyable listening and learning experience music enthusiasts will revel in.
