Alborosie’s Play Fool (To Catch Wise): A Sicilian Reggae Breakthrough!
Listen to Sicily's justified rootsman's new reggae banger wi' nowt taken out.
REGGAE FORCE ALBOROSIE may have been raised in Sicily, but as can be heard from past works like 2007’s stupendous Kingston Town, he’s Jamaican at heart. This new track, a righteous and rocking tribute to Black Uhuru and Sly and Robbie and a call for the oppressed to stay strong, is another piece of vintage-sounding, authentic reggae with strong ear-worming appeal. It’s the lead single from his new LP Sound The System, which features guest spots from The Abyssinians and Ky-mani Marley, and which was all written, played and produced by Alborosie himself in his Shengen Studio in Kingston – a space, heads will be intrigued to know, which boasts gear previously owned by King Tubby and Coxsone Dodd.
