I-Taweh - Musically Speaking

Evidence Music - EVM39

Introducing Musically Speaking, the latest masterpiece from Jamaican roots reggae legend I-Taweh. This album is a profound testament to I-Taweh"s musical odyssey, deeply rooted in his upbringing in 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 farming and music, shaping his authentic sound and narrative prowess. Acknowledged as a legendary guitarist and bassist with the likes of Sade, Capleton and Luciano, and as a member of the Mystic Revelation of Rastafari and the global Playing For Change movement, I-Taweh embarks on a solo journey once again with his fourth album. In the early days of the pandemic, I-Taweh sought solace on his farm, devoting four transformative years to crafting Musically Speaking. The album illustrates his evolution as a multi-faceted artist, featuring collaborations with esteemed Jamaican musicians such as "Beezy" Coleman, Courtney "Bam" Deidrick and Dean Frasier. From the evocative blues-infused "Long Road Home", featuring the vocals and harmonica of Mermans Mosengo, to the rhythmic intricacies 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 her 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 world stage, combining deep lyricism, dynamic stage presence and unrivalled talent. From soul-stirring ballads like Sweet Caroline to the driving island rhythms of Feel Like and Higher, her music transcends boundaries, spreading love and unity to all who listen. This album is a testament to I-Taweh"s artistry, fusing roots reggae with a distinct 70s flavour.
