A rich sonic journey created by the harmony of reggae and soul.
This work by the Jamaican band Third World combines elements of soul and funk with a reggae rhythm to create a crossover sound.
A light groove emerges, and the swell of the rhythm naturally moves your body. Layering the warmth of soul and the elasticity of funk on a foundation of reggae, the sound is bright and rich. The chorus is soft, the melody shines like sunlight, and the music itself radiates joy. A spiritual sense of unity and urban sophistication coexist, permeated with Third World's distinctive positive vibration. While embracing social concerns, it is not difficult to understand, and has a universal quality that anyone can feel comfortable in. This is an impressive album with an open energy that is infused with a Caribbean breeze.
