With its endearing lyrics, soothing melodies and conscious messages, the Roots Reggae Revivalists Volume One album is your feel good collection of music anthems from your favourite modern day reggae superstars. This socially conscious album features 14 tracks with an all-star line-up of influential and popular reggae heavy weights. These include Taurus Riley, Fanton Mojay, Chronixx, Sizzla and Jah Cure; taking you on a musical journey, through lyrical interpretation, into the culture of music and life on our big little island.
Speaking to the social issues, lifestyle, culture and the systems of our country, this album is an interpretation in
written melodies of the journey many of our inner city and marginalized people face on a daily basis, especially our youths. The music as a medium of expression is so delivered to motivate, empower and encourage its listeners, as well as those in similar circumstances of oppression to realize that despite the limited resources and seemingly inadequate opportunities, better will come.
The album also does well in creating great awareness to often overlooked segments of our Jamaican culture and the people therein affected. It also serves as a positive tool for people in less than fortunate circumstances, specifically the younger generations which may need a positive influence to highlight promising alternatives despite their socio-economic realities. With songs like “Jah Jah Mission” by I-Octane, “Singing the Blues” by Jesse Royal and “Black Bwoy/Let Mi Go” by Jah Bouks, Roots Reggae Revivalists Volume One and its cadre of artistes continue to uplift the people through music to not be victims of the system but instead stand tall and confident in knowing that all hope is not lost.
