More Info:
Here is "Musically Speaking," the latest masterpiece from the legendary Jamaican roots reggae artist, I-Taweh. This album is a profound testament to I-Taweh's musical journey, deeply rooted in his upbringing amidst the hills of St. Ann, Jamaica. Raised in Prickly Pole, just a few miles from Bob Marley's Nine Mile, I-Taweh spent his formative years immersed in the rhythms of both agriculture and music, shaping his authentic sound and narrative prowess. Recognized as a legendary guitarist and bassist, having worked with notable artists such as Sade, Capleton, and Luciano, as well as being a member of the Mystic Revelation of Rastafari and the global Playing For Change movement, I-Taweh embarks once again on a solo journey with his fourth album.At the onset of the pandemic, I-Taweh sought solace on his farm, dedicating four years of transformation to crafting "Musically Speaking." This opus showcases his evolution as a multifaceted artist, featuring collaborations with esteemed Jamaican musicians such as "Beezy" Coleman, Courtney "Bam" Deidrick, and Dean Frasier. From the evocative blues-infused track "Long Road Home," featuring the vocals and harmonica of Mermans Mosengo, to the rhythmic complexities of "The Capital," each song offers a window into I-Taweh's diverse musical palette and personal journey. As a soloist, I-Taweh's commitment to social justice and human rights resonates through his lyrics and compositions. His debut album, "Overload," was widely acclaimed, reflecting his unique fusion of Jamaican roots and global influences.With "Musically Speaking," I-Taweh remains a captivating force on the global stage, blending deep lyricism, dynamic stage presence, and unparalleled talent. From soul-stirring ballads like "Sweet Caroline" to the infectious island rhythms of "Feel Like" and "Higher," his music transcends borders, spreading love and unity to all who listen. This album is a testament to I-Taweh's art, merging roots reggae with a distinct flavor of the 1970s.
