Description
Coming September 2021
Italian reggae artist Alborosie returns with new studio recordings fueled by his passion for real reggae music. LP vinyl with 10 selected tracks, guest features include the legendary The Abyssinians, the Pop Star Nina Zilli (courtesy Universal Italy) and singers Nature (aka Andre Ellis) and Ky-Mani Marley. The album is supported by festival dates this summer (2013) to be followed by a club tour later the year. The multi-talented artist produced all the tracks on the album and played 90% of the accompanying instrumental parts. Alborosie makes a classic contemporary sound that is perfected through live instruments and analogue recording techniques akin to reggae’s golden age. Key features on the album include Ky-Mani Marley on the Bob Marley classic “Zion Train” and Italian star Nina Zilli on the infectious, Ska flavored track “Goodbye”. The legendary Abyssinians make a guest appearance on “Give Thanks”. Alborosie creates a diverse musical blend and puts his unique stamp on roots reggae with strong production and melodic hit songs.
