A masterpiece that blends reggae with the sophistication of soul.
An album by Jamaican band Third World. Based on reggae, it develops a crossover sound that adds elements of funk and soul.
This album captures one of Third World's most mature periods musically. The rhythm is light and airy, with a bassline that drives the entire song. The vocal harmonies are smooth, and the fusion of reggae rhythms and R&B-like melodies is exquisite. The skillful use of the horn section adds dimension to the songs.
