There’s a large number of Reggae and Dancehall albums set to drop just in time for summer. It seems Jamaican artists used the protracted lockdowns and canceled live performances over the last year, to put extra time in the studios across the island and around the world.
The artists and their record labels also seem to be capitalizing on the full integration of streaming in Jamaica and the Caribbean since the entry of Apple Music last year and Spotify, earlier this year. There are currently over 60 new reggae and dancehall projects available for pre-order on iTunes to be released over the next month.
Alborosie
Gentleman and Alborosie had a candid conversation that saw them answering questions about Jamaica, reggae music, road rage, and the Grammys earlier today.
Organized by VP Records, the virtual event titled
A Conversation with Alborosie and Gentleman was put on to promote the upcoming release of Alborosie’s new album
For The Culture.
The Italian Reggae singer said, “I believe my life is a collage of previous life. I am a human being and I am part of the same journey. I utilize the history to form part of my inspiration”.
He continued, “Maybe I was there with Columbus”. To which the German national Gentleman interrupted him, “We nuh too dig Colombus”.
