WWW,
January 2021 - In what is his first release
after ten years, Jamaican Reggae Veteran
singer RAS MIDAS comes with an upfull One
Drop style, both vocal and dub. From the
studio's of Harry J's in 1970's Jamaica to a
digital release at Bandcamp, Ras Midas
a.k.a. The Rastaman In Exile been through it
and that's a thing you can definitely hear.
For this
release, he hooked up with producer Mike
Lorello, who has worked with US based Reggae
Band Morgan Heritage but also with ones like
Cher and Whitney Houston. The music was
composed by Ras Midas and Larry Lange,
another well known name in the general music
business given the fact he's had his
notations at the Billboard charts. Two
veterans in their own way.
About the
track, Ras Midas said in an interview:
"This is a new evolution of my music. Everything cannot remain the same. I am just turning a new page in my song writing and composing and arranging. World Block Party is more contemporary reggae, at the same time keeping with my rootical message that people have known me for over the decades."
Well, that actually quite the case with
"World Block Party". It has the
contemporary sound, but with positivity you
don't always get with some contemporary
music. And that definitely has to do with
Roots.
