On ESCAPE FROM BABYLON TO THE KINGDOM OF ZION, Alborosie
offers an exceptional album paying respect to his heroes from Reggae’s
golden age (Black Uhuru, Burning Spear, Steel Pulse and Bob Marley)
and infusing this timeless music with a touch of modern roots and
dancehall. The lead single “Stepping Out” features David Hinds from
the famed reggae band Steel Pulse. Included on the 2009 One-Drop
Anthems album, the successful track “Humbleness” speaks to those
that are blinded by the power they possess and decides to treat his
fellow man as if they were something less. The smooth track “One Sound,”
brings a great collaboration with Alborosie and Gramps Morgan from Morgan
Heritage. Changing gears on an updated version of the classic bedroom
bully riddim from Shabba Ranks is “Blue Movie Boo”, Alborosie gives us
a peek into his erotic side. The closing track is the thought
-provoking “America,” Alborosie sings about power, globalization
and war set against an upbeat rockers rhythm. His music, since
of style and what makes him the person he is, is attributed to the
impact of Jamaica and his Rastafarian beliefs. He has been given
the stamp of approval by Reggae Legends Sly and Robbie and
Freddie McGregor to name a few.
