Mykal Rose - Rain And Blood 7"
SKU: FTR067
Description:
The very first Grammy
winning artist in Reggae history, MYKAL ROSE is the voice of the
greatest days of Black Uhuru. He’s responsible for hit songs such
as ’Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner’, ‘Sinsemilla’ or ‘Sponji Reggae’.
Thanks to Sly & Robbie, Mykal Rose and Black Uhuru have been a
turning point into Reggae history, giving to the four corners of
world the raw and brutal sound of Jamaica early 80’s violent
political crisis, far from Bob Marley refined and sophisticated
music.
40 years after he left the
group, Mykal Rose returns with ‘Rain And Blood’, a new single that
could have been taken from another Sly & Robbie-produced Black
Uhuru album. In a 1986 proto-digital reggae style, Swiss reggae
powerhouse THE 18TH PARALLEL recorded an early
dancehall-roots-reggae riddim with none other than the legendary
Robbie Shakespeare himself on bass. Mykal wrote this song right
after the terrible floods that hit the USA in
2023.
Mixed by today’s finest
sound engineer from Jamaica, Gregory Morris (Protoje, Lila Ike,
Mortimer,…), ‘Rain And Blood’ combines the best of modern reggae
sound with an impeccable groovy riddim inspired from back in the
days. On top of this, the finest horns section of the new Jamaican
music scene, TOPP BRASS, graces us with a timeless instrumental cut
called ‘Red Sky’. This is heavyweight reggae at its
best!
